Come to think of it, I should make these and sell them as "Gaming" products. I could sell them for R1k a pop.
Hell if I mount a generic wireless keyboard and mouse to it I could sell it for R2500
Hmmm....
That's exactly what I was thinking of back then, I think a lot of the price comes from the import, rather than manufacturing costs. If you build from scratch, I'd look at laser cut and bending a base for small batches, larger batches with stamped trays.
