I will have one fingers crossed in the next few weeks

zoolzoo · « **Reply #51 on:** Sat, 31 August 2013, 11:59:48 »

Probably going to have to hop in on this. Cant have one Poker with an alum case and the other without.

pexon · « **Reply #52 on:** Sat, 31 August 2013, 12:29:30 »

OP updated, were are on good progress to reach 80, should only take a couple of weeks.

Hofy · « **Reply #53 on:** Sat, 31 August 2013, 13:31:50 »

OK, I am in for 1.

kekstee · « **Reply #54 on:** Sat, 31 August 2013, 18:12:51 »

Mh, I might be in for a case. I hope there is more information on weight, coating and maybe an assembled picture.
Looks like low profile.

This looks very similar to the vortex design.
Am I right, or are they from somewhere else?

You're right actually. One of the pics from the vortex facebook is even the same. Probably from the same manufacturer in China.

As stated in the IC thread, these are Aluminium ones from Vortex yes.

How much does it cost for 1 to Vietnam dude

pexon · « **Reply #62 on:** Sun, 01 September 2013, 10:27:17 »

http://parcel.dhl.co.uk/delivery-prices.php

Take 45% off the price for Rest of World, 0.5kg or 1kg dependent on what you order.

EDIT: Royal Mail would be about £15 GBP, but no tracking outside the UK.

Anyone notice the burring on the circular imprints...espec toward the left of the case? Looks like plastic not milled alum. No?

Probably because these are cast, not milled, aluminum.

pexon · « **Reply #65 on:** Sun, 01 September 2013, 14:15:57 »

As JD says, these are cast, not milled, hence the lower cost.

zoolzoo · « **Reply #66 on:** Sun, 01 September 2013, 16:03:49 »

oh cool. ok going to order one.

pexon · « **Reply #67 on:** Mon, 02 September 2013, 02:53:36 »

OK dude, just fill out the order form as per

I just had to look up these words in the dictionary

What does this mean quality wise? How exactly is a milled case 3x more expensive? What's the major difference?

pexon · « **Reply #70 on:** Mon, 02 September 2013, 08:20:05 »

Well, the quality will not be as good as a milled case, but it will still be far superior to plastic. Casting is cheaper as it uses less material. A Milled case is milled from 1 solid piece of aluminium and there is a lot of waste, but the strength will be slightly better.

Ah, I see. Sounds good enough for me

I will probably place my order when the deadline approaches.

Will this work with a pure pro? I'm considering ordering one when I have the money (exactly 1 month from today).

Shinryuu · « **Reply #75 on:** Mon, 02 September 2013, 15:52:14 »

Damn, this looks pretty interesting (... and the price isn't that bad). If I order a one, let's hope 'shipping/postal dudes' won't rape stuff this time around

Keep us updated pexon -boya

Yea man, the Royal Mail tend to be poo, hence I'm choosing a reputable courier this time!

do_Og@n · « **Reply #78 on:** Mon, 02 September 2013, 21:44:27 »

I'm guessing these will work with the upcoming GH60. If so put me down for one.

Only question....will invoicing start as soon as the MOQ is met?

battletux · « **Reply #79 on:** Tue, 03 September 2013, 01:48:06 »

If/when this is confirmed to work with the gh60 then I'll be in for 2. That's the only thing stopping me from pulling the trigger on these.

Once your sample arrives would you be able to check with komar if it would fit?

I'm kind of interested, but can you give more information about the 60% aluminium case? What are the rest of the 40%?

Ah! I'm sorry. I understand now. 60%= kb size.

I originally thought that it was 60% aluminium+ 40% other materials, that's why it was only $50.

I just filled out the form, though I only really want it if it's GH60-compatible. So if it turns out that it won't fit, I may need to cancel (if it's not too late). Else, I guess I'll resell it or something.

While nothing in this life is guaranteed 100%, I can assure you this case will almost certainly fit the GH60 perfectly. One of the key factors in the design spec of the GH60 was that it fit into existing Poker cases. There should be nothing at all to preclude the GH60 from fitting into future Poker/Pure/Poker II/Pure Pro cases, as well.

What are the odds of us getting a shot of this assembled with a Poker/Poker II PCB? I'm basically sold on the case, but was hoping that I could see the finished product, so to speak.
