[IC] 60% Acrylic case
« on: Sat, 21 March 2015, 22:05:24 »
Hi everyone!

Some might have seen this before by bazh. We plan to make a groupbuy for this but got some issues with our base, since it too small to run the CNC machine stable.
So we moved our base to a bigger place and resetup everything again. After that we were too busy with our modding order, water cooling stuff... so we couldnt make a gb.
And now, the time has finally comeeeeeeeeeeeee :-* , our CNC finally have a free time in our schedule.

Before i run the GB, i want to make sure everything is right for both u and us so i start this IC to check how many of u interest in this boy,
since we only have time for 10 pieces (maybe more in the future if this GB go well)

Spec:
This made from full block acrylic, the specfication will be updated but to be clear, i will compare its size with a poker.
The surface will be sandblasted, make it sexier and hard to notice the scratches if u accidently make one  :cool:
If u want to make it glow, just put some LED smd under the PCB. We can provide the SMD if u want with a very cheap price. We will also show u how to do, quite easy imo  ;D
Price range: 100 - 120$

I don't even have a 60% pcb to put in this and I still want it. I'd probably be down for one.
People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

The dumber the reason the more it must be done

acrylic doesn't have colors. if you're talking about the LEDs, they can be whatever you decide to put in

Coloured acrylics most certainly do exist.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

If there was a sandblasted black version I'd probably be in, not a fan of clear to be honest.

We only have Clear right now

is the sandblasted the only available version? cause i'd be interested in a clear acrylic one.

We can do without sandblasted. But it will be very easy to get scrached  :-X If u fine with that, then no prob  :D

Nice! How do you manage the backlighting? Is it just SMD LEDs soldered to the switch LED pads?

I heard you could have your own custom measurements when order, in that case just tell them to do a flat case one, would be no problems at all if the custom thing was real

Really good looking case.

I was actually going to ask if it would be possible to get one in a light smoked grey color.

This is very likely that POKER2 compatible cases will be compatible to Poker3 considering that the poker3 stock case seem to be the same that the aluminium case that pexon is selling.

You can certainly call me interested.
