Fixed your quote :D ...................but I rarely use the forum anymore. I replied to an email sent by op. Anodizing is something you really have to prep ahead of time so there's no worries about how it will come out. 99% of anodizers will destroy parts if not given proper direction. If...

final bump and price lowered. Will use it myself tomorrow if no sale.

How low can I go with this thing?

bump for a lower price.

bump for the night crowd.

bump for today. Price lowered.

I've gotta say....compared to the older Macbook Pro and Macbook Air (in terms of build quality), this is 100x better. Everything on the laptop comes apart easy, including the display glass. So at least you know if you ever have to replace something, the parts will likely be on ebay...

bump. Listening to offers.

Ah ok, he just mentioned he needed phpmyadmin, wordpress, etc so I assumed he needed access to get all that installed right.

I've got a recycling bin full of fans large and small if you want them. Free. Probably a bit heavy to ship though. I won't cover shipping, likely weigh like 20-30lbs

Ok this is probably a very stupid question but I can't figure it out. My webdesigner was going to transfer the new barebones website over to my current host. I can create a subdomain and an ftp for him to log in on but won't he need access to cpanel? If so how to I create an account for...

I'm not so much a big fan of the new design. It seems odd. Almost like they didn't put much effort into it.

From what I know there were something like 4 different LCDs for the C2D Macbook Pros: Samsung, LG, Chi Mei, and some generic compatible. Are these all the same? Can I mismatch replacements? From what I remember the only physically different one is the Chi Mei brand which had different bezel...

My poor thread got hijacked :D kidding. Yes it can be plated in anything...Copper, chrome, black nickel, 24kt yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, and platinum. The finish can be flat, brushed, or polished. Once we get a metal to stick to the plastic, it's the same old method of plating...

The touch is entirely different than the 3g iphone...Touch parts are cheap and easy to do (cept the front bezel requires a lot of stripping if you want that also). The iphone 3g is plastic and it's not a decent platable grade either so it takes a lot of babysitting at the tanks to make sure...

Probably won't be making anything out of plastic for it. Like I was saying, the laser can cut anything out...I can make a pattern of random heart cutouts over most of the surface so it opens up area for better reception. I'm not sure if one design is better than another though. I'll try a few...

Apple would probably have a fit if I used their logo. The original logo is painted on unlike the old generation which was a separate metal piece. I've done a few celeb things but I'm not sure if my products are mainstream enough for them to see it. Would be fun to design some...

Let me start by saying it's a prototype. I have a feeling there's going to be some reception issues with a plated case but maybe some of you can help where I'm not an expert. Since the 3G housing is plastic that means I can laser engrave holes, squares, whatever into the housing before...

I've gotta say, paint just isn't as cool as it once was. I'd say plating is the new pink.....but it costs me an arm and a leg to do since so few companies really do it (well). I've gotta keep researching different finishing methods to find something cheap for everyone.

I'd imagine if Apple were to create a new one it'd look like a mini ipod touch but with the buttons and bezel in pink (if any bezel exists).

Can I be a judge? :D I doubt if I entered that gold plating really would win these days. They're probably looking for talent :D

I'd do something but there's too many other things going on right now. Plus the cost to plate something like this is crazy.

I had to argue for the blackbird :D HP has some stuff coming up which I think will address that.

The grayscale was just a concept. Full color comes after. Trying to do full color on 20 concepts would take days. Ya still have the other one.

I suggested other designs but the final say wasn't mine. MaxPC needed to be on it though. Here's my grayscale concepts:

Not mine anymore. Went to the magazine. I have another but not sure what's going on with it. Too expensive to try gold plating.......plus I'd need a gold screen, keyboard, and mouse to go with. :D

So I was told the september issue of maxpc came out this week so I guess it's ok to post this. Here's the smoke nickel plated Blackbird I did. My photos were not professional shots at all so they sent this over. Turned out pretty good especially considering the time constraints.

lol...hey whatever pays the bill. I just moved into a much bigger shop so something is going right.

Thanks guys. The project is finished, I just can't post pics. The case turned out pretty good but, as always, I'm a perfectionist so it wasn't perfect. Was on a strict deadline so there wasn't any time for making everything perfect + the design wasn't up to me either. I'd post some of the...

Teeeeeeaserrrrrr. Give it a month or two before you see the final photos.....in some magazine.

So check this out. I finally get a few pics of the MBA I did for Chris Brown: http://www.bestchrisbrown.com The pics are horrible and they put fingerprints everywhere but hey...

A stork delivered them. :D

Ok well I was excited, maybe it doesn't translate till I'm done modding them :D

In between all these gold laptops, I managed to get these two things. Shipping had to be expensive, they weigh a good 40-50lbs. Teaser pic. More to come in a few weeks/month/whenever it's published.

This man is wise, I'm not confirming anything though. Just saying you're good at the guessing game.

It's a bit much but the difference is it's polished on the inside. Created quite a problem because there's so much plating it's tough to get parts back in the right spot. Price varies in the multiple thousands. If you must know, I use a toshiba laptop that has fallen off my car twice at...
