CNC Machined Cases - 2nd Batch Taking orders ( Post #228 Pg 10 for details) 7/16/10

A few questions:

Are the boxes being shipped assembled?
What is the button configuration for the start/select/home buttons, are there cut outs for them in the back?
What kind of hole/compartment do you have for cabling to come out of the back?
Does the plexi sit flush or raised?

Is it possible for you to post pictures of the inside of the case, looking to see if it will fit my dual ps3/360 ideas.

Also because its aluminum, mounting inside will be a little more difficult, are there any plans for pre-cut holes for barrier strips or anything of the like?

Sorry the barrage of questions, your case looks really nice and I just want to see if the metal case would work.

Thanks!

Awesome, I’m just waiting on pics of an assembled stick then… I’d be most interested in a black one, TE layout. Is plexi included in that $150 price you mentioned?

Man, that looks really awesome, slick design. I’m not a fan of huge boxes, prefer smaller builds. Would custom sizes come in the future, should business go well?

Boxes shipped assembled - Maybe assembly would not be difficult b/c its like a lego set. I will take pics of how the boxes are assembled.

Buttons for start select, back, sync etc - yes there are 4 predrilled holes in teh front w/ a slot for wires to come out. I’ll take pics

Compartment for cabling - none at the moment.

Plexiglass sits flush

when you say smaller you mean height length or width?

I’d be open for smaller custom sizes if there is a demand, but i’ve slimme dteh boxes down as much as possible while making sure there’s clearence for other items.

Will the front holes (start, select, etc.) be recessed?
Reason why I’m asking is that more people seem to be using 4 24mm holes plus 1 extra for a neutrik adapter (for wireless/RJ45 jacks). The 24mm hole for the adapters need to be flush with the case.

Man, this so exciting.
Anodize aluminum Case will be SUPER! hotness.

Also Case with flush Plexiglass?
Really nice.

Height of only 1.875 inches.
That is good stuff.

I meant height and length, the width is just fine. It’s like you when shrink your windows on Windows XP from the bottom right corner. Or am I confusing you? :rofl:

I think you got your words the wrong way MRGAY?
Height of Case is as slim as can be; only 1.875 inches.

since these cases were mfg for myself, an di had 30mm obsf left over i ended up just using that. i will however mfg 24mm recessed in b/c i think that looks much better.

as for the neutrik adapter i will have to look into since im not sure what that is.

Ahh ic, well we’ll see how things turns out. =)

if I remember right the neutrik is so guys using Cthulu boards can just have one jack in the case, and then they connect the cable for whatever system they are going to be playing on.

Right, an example of the neutrik adapters can be seen in VOLTECH’s thread(see first post)
They will need a 24mm hole flush with the outside of the case

Would it be possible to get this with a second metal plate on top instead of the acrylic, if we a more interested in having a plain top instead of an art insert?

the plexiglass is clear so you can decide to have a plain box if you want. But the top to be plexi is recommended b/c of the smoother surface.

thats jus plain ol badass

WOW, wish you would have showed up about 3-4 weeks ago, I didn’t like any of the customs beign offered as they were either too expensive or to average looking, so I bought a TE, but this, this is incredible. In few months when tekken gets closer to coming out, and if your still doing it ill definetly be willing to purchase. an anodized blue or black case would be so SEXY!

mad props and good luck, first really cool custom cases i’ve seen!

Good stuff. Funny think, I was at a client site today that makes 18 wheeler trailers out of anodized aluminum and I was thinking how hard would it be to find someone to do the same thing for cases.

Good luck, I might hit you up soon.

I was also thinking, of the bottom of the case, will you have pre drilled holes for feet like the TE sticks?

I’ll still be here

pre drilled holes for feet? can you give me an example or link to what you are talking about?

Sorry all, for those who were interested in seeing pics of inside the case, didnt get a chance to take pics last night. I’ll post them up tonite tho.

Just look at bottom of the TE stick, it has rubber feet that are removeable. This would be a nice feature for the case.

can you show us examples of the differences/examples between the Vewlix, Straight, and Curved button layouts? i just see the “Straight” layout in the pics…

I’m VERY interested in nabbing one of these!
