As title says!
-
Nice find. Link (may require login) https://www.massdrop.com/buy/tex-metal-case (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/tex-metal-case)
Also, this is for a 60% case (poker/pure/gh60 compatible) and not a Tex keyboard.
-
edited title, I read to fast!
-
Overall, this is an aesthetic upgrade rarely made available, let alone at a reduced price.
^^ unless your on geekhack haha
-
Just saw this on massdrop and was about to post here lol
Great find guys =D

For those of you who want to look, but have no account:

Got excited there for a minute. That case seems fairly typical with all the similar products on sale at GH these days.

Hmn, price can be better than Tex own groupbuy here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=47376.0)? What shenanigans...

It's probably the shipping that makes a difference, since in the GH gb he says it's 100$ for additional purchase. Massdrop will probably get them all at once at their place and ship from us. Just a theory here.

yeah and the massdrop one gets aluminum feet!
-
I'm really tempted since Vortex has not get back to Pexon on the alu casing.
This casing looks really nice. But it's kinda like a low profile type of case isn't it ?

Yeah - that whole situation has me about 50% tempted to drop that order and snap one of these up. Lord only knows which will get here faster. I just want some aluminum wrapped around my Poker II.

In my experience, Vortex is a company that has not earned a great deal of trust. Especially after that old disastrous Poker GB.

The one bad thing is you only get one color choice.

That color option is not discounted in the group buy.

This sounds correct.
-
Also it appears the massdrop version is not anodized?
-
There is a US proxy being used for the GH group buy. Essentially the same thing as massdrop getting the whole bunch of cases.

I guess it's worthy to not that the un-anodized version is not discounted in the GH group buy.

It says it is anodized 6061 aerospace grade aluminum in the description
And massdrop estimates these will be shipping in 20 days, 6 days left on the drop and 14 after that.

Yeah, Vortex should get their **** together. Really. :mad:

The sky is falling!!
But really if somehow we magically get those aluminum feet that'd be great!! But somehow I don't see that happening unless JD is a wizard and can work some magic for us ;D

Someone probably informed Justin that there might be a problem with the listing or price on Massdrop.
