Does that include the cost of the cathode??
I say between $24.95-$34.95 respectively.
Don't sell yourself short..
When it comes to running a modding business if you do good work and offer great support your customers will pay the premium. Also, it gives you some leeway in the event you need to work a deal.
For instance, if a customer of mine is teetering on price, I can offer the case modding at a discounted rate in order to secure the deal.... It's always easier to go down in price than it is to raise your price, so start higher and work down, not the other way around.
Naturally, if product that you need increases in price then that's a different story. I'm not sure if you are doing this as a side business or as a main source of income like I currentl do. If this is all you have, then make sure you run it like a business not a hobby. You have to think of profit margins. Good rule of thumb is 30% profit margin. Hit me up by phone if you have questions. My number is listed on my site. I'll be more than happy to help you.

The only problem I have with it is....um...that's my work. I mean, people may pop on your site and say, WOW, look at their machines they already did!!
Those are all cases that I have done so I have mixed feelings about my work advertising someone elses site. What you should do is take some photos of work that you have done and send them to me. I'll make the same type of image in any size you want, but at least it will be your own work.
Tell your buddy that some people get real offended when you take their pics and pop them up on other sites...even though it's just my avatar those are pics that I took from my own case modding gallery on my site, they are just sized down a bit. I'm actually kind of surprised you would want and need someone elses work to showcase your site anyway.
Don't get me wrong, I will help anyone out as much as possible in getting into modding, but letting someone else take credit for my work isn't a way I would prefer. Even though directly that's not what you are doing, but indirectly it is. When people land on your site and see those cases they will automatically assume that you did it.
Feel free to email me pics of your cases, even if you only have a few. Take some pics in the dark, at different angles, and take a look at Slamscapers avatar. That's a case I did and I made his avatar for him too. I can do the same thing for your cases,. If you take pics in the light and then at the exact same angle in the dark, I can do that effect for you and also make it bigger and more clear. The avatar had to be scaled down for size and it's pretty compressed. If you could tell your bud to take that pic down I'd really appreciate it. I know you didnt have any knowledge of him doing it and dont think I am ragging on you or anything. But, it's really not good practice to grab other peoples images and use. It's one thing if you are just using a stock photo like a stok pic of an Xbox from MS or something, but taking someones customized work isn't real cool.

No problem. Just get me as many pics as you can and I'll make a real nice animated gif for you for your site.
Also, if you need a banner or something let me know I can help you with that too.

I came across a nice banner rotator script that takes all the images in a certain directory, and allows you to cycle through them, thus loading a new image basically everytime a page is loaded.
Let me know if you would be interested in this script and I'll send it to you.
Btw it doesn't just do banners it will do anything really, just tell it where to grab the images (default is in it's own directory so you could actually have something like:
and use those as the img src= and it would automatically rotate through those pics that you put into those directories.
If you get a large collection, could do a "Mod of the Moment" and have a random pic each time someone views your site. That is if your host supports php and all.
Oh btw since we're on the topic of not stealing other's stuff I want to make sure you know I didn't write this script, just found it and would like to share it's greatness with others, all the comments are still there telling who made it and all _________________

Cool....usually people write scripts like that because they want them to be used... that's pretty standard. Is it java? Java writers love to see their names up in lights...lol. My business partner is a java programmer, among ohter languages.... he loves when he sees his stuff out there...lol.
