Here is an example of the prototype powder coated in textured black. Disregard the black 3d printed enclosure on the side. It is the unfinished xbox receiver enclosure. It still needs to be sanded and color matched to the case.

That's a beautiful case. I wish I could build things that well.

I also wish I had the kind of money where I could just throw down $350 for a pretty case, completely on a whim. However, that sort of financing is totally alien to my life...

I could probably do 1/10 of what you're asking, but I don't think I even need to ask, to know the answer to *that* one... :(
 
nice case , better than what i can build. do you make them to different sizes as well?

Bump open to offers. Maybe even some interesting trades (other than pc hardware).

Interesting Trades you say... any clues as to genre? Like Car parts? Audio Equipment? Cell phones?
Click to expand...

I honestly don't have anything in particular in mind. No car parts or audio equipment. Cell isn't out if the question. 3d printer kit? Sorry I can't be more specific :( PM me with anything you all may have in mind. Thanks!
 
Prices reduced across the board. FREE vertical stance feet to the first buyer (since only 1 set available). Powder coating reduced to $30 and the case itself to $300.

Don't forgot the pick-your-color switch. Choose from any Mod-Smart (preferred) or Lamptron switch. I can up the standard 16mm switch to 22mm (I did on the prototype prior to powder coating). *Note: it is a tight fit between the larger/longer 22mm switch and the right angle power plug in the non-modular ST45SF PSU. Should not be an issue on the modular version ST45SF-G since the outlet is in a different location.

Cash/Payal preferred.

Thank you for looking.
