[WTB] Phantom case! Aluminum, Polycarbonate, Acrylic. Send me pics!

[CalmB4tehPwn]

Okay, so I've got the PCB I was looking for, thanks to JDCarpe. And today my dad sent me $150 in paypal for Christmas, so:

Let me know what you've got. I'm looking for a Phantom case. I'd prefer something acrylic, clean looking, blues and greens preferable. But hell, I'm not going to be all that picky. If it looks nice, shoot me a PM.

How much are you looking to spend?

[mtl]

I can sell you a black one. It doesn't have diodes installed on it currently.

[CalmB4tehPwn]

I'm looking for the $40-45 plus shipping region. I've spent enough on this project as it is, so I can't afford much for it, but I'm also not trying to rip anybody off, and I want to compensate you for your time installing the diodes. So I'm workable on price.

@mtl - I actually have a PCB + Diodes already, I just need something already installed.

[SpAmRaY]

Oh I thought you wanted an assembled board.

[CalmB4tehPwn]

Ah! I can see that confusion. Let me go make the OP more clear.

Just so it's said, I'm looking for nothing more than PCB+Diodes. I'll take it from there.

[jdcarpe]

If you want, you could ship your PCB and diodes to me, and I will install them for you. For free. You would just have to pay shipping, of course.

JD is just a soldering machine!

[CalmB4tehPwn]

That's a hell of an offer, JD. Considering my current location, however, by the time it ships to you, gets installed and ready to ship back, I'll probably already be packing up and moving.

It might be better if I order a new PCB off of MK though, just have it shipped to you.

Wouldn't that be the same thing in terms of shipping TO JD?  It's shipping FROM him that you're worried about.

[CalmB4tehPwn]

Shipping from Korea and back would add about 2.5 extra weeks of transit time, whereas if it's coming from MK, to him, then to me, we're cutting about a week of that down.

It may seem of little consequence, but when I get moved, I'll be stuck for four months waiting out a board hearing on my medical retirement, without my computer, and I will be desperate for a project. It's imperative it gets to me before then, even if it means buying a new board.

JD's offer is very generous. If that's still not fast enough, I can solder the diodes and send the board out on the 27th. (Out of town ATM.) I am not eager to sell it but can relate to your situation somewhat.

[jdcarpe]

Calm and I worked out a deal where I will send him a populated Phantom PCB, and he will send me his PCB, Teensy, and diodes. So that should work out well for him.

[CalmB4tehPwn]

Yep! JD's got me covered.

Thanks for the offer, mtl.

Now I'm changing the theme of this WTB!

if you're still looking for a case Qtan sells some blue and green acrylic ones: http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments/item/keyboard-accessory/colorful-replace-case-filco-an/lid=31051008

I just got a blue one (second hand) today and it looks great. Not sure if it will fit a phantom though :x Has anyone tried?

I read that it fits a QFR with some modding and Qtan told me it fits a Leopold.

[CalmB4tehPwn]

I actually have two of those cases on hand (though, admittedly, not in the colors I'd like) but I'm looking for something a bit higher quality.

Good looking out, Cheers

[mtl]

Awesome. Glad it's going to work out.

[CalmB4tehPwn]

Still looking!
