I saw it linked from your great finds thread. Both top and bottom and CNC'd so will be cooler than what I have planned. Probably available in color too. I just wonder what the price will be.

What? No way man! My case is awesome. It's very sturdy, and the texture is just right. What don't you like about it?

Anyway, from my compraison to filco photos (thanks Listster!) the main difference is the center support is moved over for the CMstorm (to accomodate the USB inlet). If I get a metal case, and it's an issue, I'll move it, and epoxy or weld it down. Maybe I'll make a USB heater circuit, to keep it warm, too.

I feel like a black engraved set with titanium escape and spacebar would go very well with it .

Hm, perhaps I'm confused. Would this case not also replace the top panel of the casing? I don't have a problem with the sturdiness of the case itself, just all the logos all over the top of it.

Are there still any of these left? I'd take 1 x aluminium? Plus shipping to the UK I'm guessing that should total to around 130 dollah?

It's an interest check. The product is being designed. There isn't even solid pricing yet, let alone any orders.  Did somebody skip to the end and not even read the first post ;-/

this project has been abandoned for the time being...

to all the brilliant friends who have left us, and all the students who climb on their shoulders.

Yea. Swede is now in the process of making one though. Guess I'll close this thread.

edit: seems this thread was broken by one of the forum resets. The pictures are all missing and it doesn't properly recognize me as the owner so I can't close it.
