Title: Open-air mining frame?
Post by: Mousepotato on August 16, 2012, 10:33:59 PM
Does anybody still sell those open-air frames?  I'm thinking about building a new game system, but all the McATX boxes look the same and dumb.

I've actually thought an open air case would be great as well, but I don't know where to get them.

I've seen some people selling metal frame chassis here on the forums, or you can also get  this one (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811353002).

The DIY would obv be cheaper, but Chomiczewski's are much more expensive.

I have one of the Chomiczewski frames, but modified to fit my needs. 

I can tell you that though they are little on the pricey side, they are well worth it.  Clean Cuts, plenty of parts and even send you the tools that you need to put it all together.  I did price out to make it myself, and the metal would cost about the same by the time you added in shipping.   

Overall, very impressed with his product.
