[IC] CF-LX Ultra-light Carbon Fiber 60% Case

[hwood34]

Perfect. I just bought a HHKB so this would look awesome with it Will definitely buy.

Oh no, sorry, this would only work with MX, it's just in the HHKB layout

[ccarlitos2]

ohhhhh.. welp. Still gonna buy one for my poker ii

[FrostyToast]

Also is anyone here interested in an all-acrylic vergo? Like one of these just slightly edited

Just so no one gets their balls busted when it happens, I am planning to do a full cnc Vergo buy once some things are finalized.
It will however be quite a while until anything gets started for my buy. Even GB organizers have to play the waiting game.

Just looked this up, depending on my money situation when it happens I'll probably be in.

[Melanic]

Just wondering if there's any update with this. Been quite quiet the last week.

I'd like something like this but not split in half.. which I guess is the point of the thing >_<

Well one of the features of this is that you can put the two halves together like a normal board.

Yeah, and my 6 year old can make off with the cable or half the keyboard

Plus, I don't like the whole extra cable thing.. but I do like the look of the board while the two halves are pushed together!

I would also an option that allows the use of an aluminium plate. Your kit would be then made of a rectangular frame to be put on the top of the aluminium plate), mid layer, bottom layer.

What?

You are describing an entirely different case, if you want this case in Al just order it from Big Blue Saw in Al.

[Giorgio]

I was suggesting an alternative, design, only the top plate would be in al, eventually with a carbon fibre bezel, everything else could be identical. Anyway I think that big blue saw charges $70 for a plate.

Just wanted to ask if there has been and progress on this project.

AFAIK it's ready to go. Hwood just needs to launch the GB page.

Well I still need to get pricing on the mid piece in carbon fiber and the happy layout plate. The big blue saw guy was usually really quick to respond but it's been like 10 days, I've emailed him twice, I'll give it another day or so before I try and speak with someone else

How long do you want the GB to last?

I'll probably leave it up for 2-3 weeks

I'm having a hard time figuring out based on this pictures but would it supports both winkey  and winkeyless bottom row ?

Yes.
That is why the cutouts at the bottom are wider.

Alright, we're all set to go with the GB. Here's the final pricing:
Standard case (including standoffs and screws): $78
Acrylic mid piece: $22
Happy plate: $65

A carbon fiber mid piece ended up being something like $125, so that's a no go unfortunately. I'm thinking to at least match the color somewhat I'll do a grey acrylic. 
Gotta do work and stuff right now, I won't be able to work on a thread tonight. If anyone wants to work on a pretty one for me though

Dang, that carbon fiber mid piece costs a lot more than I thought it would have.

Is that HHKB plate price for just the top?

Yep. The plate accounts for most of the cost, the bottom is really just the cost of material

I can get a render sorted after I move all my crap back into my room.

Is it possible to paint a CF case?

[Evo_Spec]

Is it possible to paint a CF case?

Yes, people paint carbon fiber cart parts all the time but unless you're going for a lightweight case, I don't see the point in choosing a carbon fiber case to paint rather than a steel/aluminum one.

I hesitate with a Nerd NS 60 but this one is cheaper and I heard as well that Gon is quite busy atm and most orders are delayed by a lot. That's why I asked for the color.
