$58 isn't half bad and given the time and cost of the materials you could probably not do it yourself for much less.
Yeah but double it for postage and then import VAT. Getting the whole thing made would total about £250 :(

How much do the Amiga fellows charge for their repro cases? (admittedly injection moldings)

No idea. But the actual cost of getting the case made by injection moulding was really cheap. Like £20 for both parts. So with packaging and shipping, it still would end up being like £100 really.

Video quality looks really nice.
Yeah, it's the MFX emulating the TI VDP chip (snooping the bus for reads/writes to the original chip) and outputting to a VGA port at normal VGA refresh rates. The MFX can also emulate the original 80 column card for use with CP/M.
My MTX500 now has a board under the VDP which outputs to RGB, which looks just as good.
Very nice indeed. Are you able to give CP/M a go on it? Would be cool to see.
First time I saw CP/M was on my Apple IIe, using my Analog v2 in Z80 Applicard mode.

Very nice, you get colour CPM, I don't on the Apple+Applicard combo, but hey, it's CP/M right :)
Reminds me, I need to try and make CP/M work on my Amstrad NC200...

You have a lot more apps than me, I need to have a search and see what Applicard CP/M stuff is about:

It's funny though, when it's busy you have an apple cursor appear:

All that stuff came on the card supplied with the MFX. It includes a basic web server and ftp server for network file copy, oh and games.
