[IC] Poker 2 and CNC 60% Cases . Simple black case 50 USD
« on: Thu, 15 August 2013, 04:25:04 »
I can get some Poker 2 boards in soon, just need to gauge interest and what type of switches.

I may also be able to get in some CNC cases in 60% flavour.

Where are you getting the CNC cases from? What kind of cases are they?

CNC cases are from Vortex, I have some pics, but I am holding off on showing them yet. They look VERY good I must say.

:P

One question that I'm dying to ask, and I hope this isn't too premature, but are these CNC cases going to be "low-profile" like those aluminium Pure CNC cases a while back? I really loved the low sides that went just a tiny bit higher than the actual PCB.

Thats for one of the simple cases, just trying to find out what 'metal' it is. But for 50 bucks, its a bargain IMO.

Well, I can ship with DHL for under 20GBP. That is fully insured and tracked, 1-3 days.

I had just ran across tinlong's post on DT for these CNC cases.  He stated they were ALU in his post, but we'll see.

And count me in.  I'd love to see one of these cases with a plate-mounted board for comparison.

I dont know the price yet mate. I am just speculating. Perhaps we could get a proxy for US.

I can look up DHL prices, I get discount. Remember thats super fast, tracked and insured shipping. Royal Mail could probably do it cheaper, but frankly, they are crap.

Ehm, the ones with the thick front wall are indeed $102. The same (cases) as pexon's cases.
The cheap 'metal' (read: metal scrap) black one is as pexon listed: $50
And in my personal opinion it also looks like that. It looks very cheap.


I like the 'regular' cases, though. Especially the fat front lip.

$102 isn't bad for that lipped case.. it looks low profile too which is nice.

They will fit the Poker and Pure.

I didn't say they were the best quality cases, they may be made with left over materials, but they are 50 USD, its very competitive price.

I can also get the >100 USD cases no issues.

Ok, I figured as much , they are different.

But I'll take a $50 scrap metal case over a $30 plastic one!!! ;)

I have a quick question about those low-profile CNC cases ... (forgive me if it's a stupid question)

Will they look silly if you're using one with a plate? i.e. will the plate be higher than the top of the case?

Thanks for your time.

Exactly my thoughts. Honestly, a metal case will be much tougher, better to type on and much less flex than plastic.

EDIT: I'd be interested but I'm not sure about the height yet, as someone asked earlier, I'll be using a plate and everything, seeing as this case is very low profile and flat wont that type weird? looks like the keys in the pictures are tilted backwards
