[SOLD] Pure Aluminum CNC Case
« on: Wed, 20 March 2013, 01:11:08 »
WTS this unused Pure aluminum case from the recent GB. It looks great - no crazy/weird curves on the edges of the case, and the connector opening seems to be in good order.

For full disclosure, there are a couple of imperfections: a small number of very tiny chips, and slight diagonal wobble. The wobble might be alleviated if you use a towel under your keyboard, or if you add something thin under one of the feet.

Looking for $90 + shipping in a medium flat rate box. CONUS only for now (so that would be + $12.35). PM if interested. Thanks.

Edit: Sold.

It takes two sheets of 24 lb. paper under one corner to stop the wobble. After looking at a few paper weight to thickness conversion pages, that seems to mean that it's less than 1/100".

I would be all over this but the possibility of a wobble scares me.

All Vortex cases can be like this, even the plastic ones.

Edit - tp4tissue is right, my surface wasn't level lol

I agree with TP4 here, did you check a known level surface?

Since there isn't a whole lot of room on my keyboard tray my keyboards are usually half on the mousepad/half off the mouse pad so I don't think I would even notice the wobble :))

Also are these the same as the ones that came on the limited edition boards? The ones that makes the keys float above the case?
