Coolest case I've ever seen. When it's going into production??? I want one for upcoming 7i rig
I'm constantly messing with new renders, but it can be a lengthy process. I often have to wait an hour or two to see if I'm happy with the result. If not, I'll stop the render, make some changes and start again. I don't like posting renders that I'm not happy with.Quote:

From what I have read about the large fans currently available, the Cooler Master fan is one of the best.
Good luck with your case build! :up:
Watercooling UK is currently looking at making a prototype of my design, but it's still early days. I'm hoping that it will be available in the future, but that all depends on production costs, etc....:shrug:Quote:

sexiest case ever.
hope someone will produce it!
Unfortunately, he will get a LOT of people who say they will buy it, and not come through. I doubt he could find an accurate number of people who want to buy one, without coming up with at least an approximate price, and taking pre-orders.Quote:

Best so far :)
I still fall out of my chair every time I come here. Fantastic layout.
I hold by my earlier comment regarding the design of the release for the side panels, however. Something that drops in and tilts closed, with a mechanism to lock it in place akin to the Voodoo Omen rev2 sitting on my desk just seems to be a necessity when dealing with the monstrous size of this thing. The ease I have of just pulling the catch in the back and tilting the panels out then up is the kind of detail work a case this beautiful just seems to call out for.
I'm digging for retail cases with a similar system, maybe Lian-Li has one I can point you to, as they manufactured the case for Voodoo.
EDIT: found it: Look to the Lian-Li PC-B70 & PC-B71 article here:
http://www.madshrimps.be/vbulletin/f...chassis-60356/
It includes detail images of the side panel release system:
Rear pull to release:

closeup of panel design:

hard to see, but the uppermost rail has the catches for the panel, and this slides back as the rear thumbscrew/latch is pulled back:

you can see the tabs which catch the panels there.
The bottom of the panels are simply like the front edge of yours- a tab that slips behind the bottom edge of the chassis, instead of the front edge.
Very elegant, and likely patented, but certainly inspirational, I hope.
Thanks for the kind words!Quote:

However, I have been trying to keep my design as simple as possible to make the fabrication as simple as possible. I believe a small workshop could manufacture my design with basic cutting and bending machines. A latching mechanism would just complicate things......
Different lighting, slightly different angle....

Someone really needs to take the plunge and get this thing built. It's great as is but until it gets put into hard format it's a lot like masturbation, fun but ultimately it isn't going to get you anywhere.
I really wish I had the dough to get something fabbed. Maybe later this year when I have money kicking around after tuition.
ROFLAMO. Funniest thing I've read all day.Quote:

and ill say this now cause someone will ask "2 quads is a waste why you doing it the air transfer delta blah blah blah"
anyways my room is freezing in the winter and i was going to get a cheap airconditioner for summer so my room will always be chilly :D
Probably because not everyone who visits the Computer Cases forum necessarily visits the Liquid Cooling forum.Quote:

I want as many people to see my design as I can get. It seems to be working as well, because pictures of this case are spreading to an increasing number of computer sites around the web. I can monitor this on my Photobucket stats page. Cheers Metric. :up:Quote:

Mick, I've been looking at the designs and your comments. They are fantastic and out-of-this-world, but do keep in mind that if you really want to put this case into production and make some big $$, you will have to get the big manufacturers to like this design. The way you talk about the case (as I've seen earlier "If you are not putting a dual loop inside this case, then this is not the case for you."), the big brands (Silverstone, Lian-Lis) will not take it. If you really want to put it into production, you will have to get the market as big as possible.Quote:

Although it won't sound like the purpose of this case, but those will be the major market that the manufacturers will target for.
Also, for the price range. Try to keep the size as small as possible. I could see that the height and length are reasonable, but try to make your case anything less than 700mm in depth. Keep in mind that the bigger the case, the more the cost. The more the cost, the less market there is. You see, not much people will spend more than 300 dollars on a case. Let alone 500 dollars.
No offense, but they are all in my humble opinion:) I am really looking forward for the case to be mass-produced :D
Thought I'd post a couple of SketchUp animations so you can compare my case design with the SilverStone TJ07 and the Lian Li V2000....

Awesome comparison Mick:up: It seems GIGANTIC under the comparison:p:
I hope you read my comment:rolleyes:
you might want to turn anti aliasing on for both renders and in your nvidia control panel for sketch up.
you my friend have not a :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing clue what you speak:shakes:Quote:
