I spent some time looking at these on eBay, and, if you go back further, garage sales. I wanted to like them. In fact, having worked at a plastics fabrication company (TAP), I appreciated them moreso then most, but still... Don't own one.
Since we're all adults here, I advocate... Build your own!!! Are you a woodcrafting hobbiest? Yay! Go for it! Get those fancy hinges too! Maybe handy with a table saw? Sweet. Did you know you can cut clear acrylic sheet with most circular blades? More teeth the better. Some raw materials, a plan and a tape measure, and you can craft your dream console's home.
My son is into building model train layouts, which is all about being handy, resourceful, and attention to detail. I'm realizing there's a lot of cross-over potential here in this hobby.
