So I have been seeing this case everywhere I know its custom made buy where do you buy the parts to make it I'm really interested on how people make this case... Title: Re: This case?

The aluminum tubing and zytel corner pieces came from here... http://www.brunnerent.com/Tools/Portfolio/frontend/itemlist.asp?type=2&size=0&lngDisplay=2&strMetaTag (http://www.brunnerent.com/Tools/Portfolio/frontend/itemlist.asp?type=2&size=0&lngDisplay=2&strMetaTag) I've been talking to a few local PC repair places about picking up old mini tower cases for the mounting plates, and I could pre-cut all the aluminum and package it all together for people who want to assemble their own, if there is enough interest.

Title: Re: This case? Post by: mikeo on July 12, 2011, 06:53:39 PM I'm definitely interested in a all the pieces-parts. What do you think the pre-cut kit would cost us?

Title: Re: This case? Post by: mikeo on July 12, 2011, 07:00:22 PM Even a parts list would be great. The hardest part is going to be finding the motherboard tray. M/B tray could be made easily from plexi, wood, fiberboard, even aluminum sheet. If the OP doesn't pursue this I will be forced to. I'd make a prototype and price it out to a machine shop for the cutting.EDIT: In looking at the source listed and figuring the parts I get a material cost of ~$46, but shipping/handling($10!) to my zip is another $32! Total of approx $78. |
