Got one of these...with the software. Agree with you 1000%...but still wanted
o
get one of the mini's.

Something I ran across a while ago was a new 3D printed case for the 400 with
the
use of a mechnical keyboard. It's over on Thingiverse.

Love this software! Been using it for the past several versions. 

Thanks for the link. Will be looking at it.

On the other hand...if you haven't looked at the Apollo distro for the Vampire.

Almost got the Vampire...but went with the MiSTer instead. In case you're 
wondering...got mine quite a while ago before the cost went crazy.
