I suggest you go back through the topic and find when he actually started looking for someone to produce this case and then take note of all the ppl who were on board with getting one long before you came along and think about how anxious they must be.

Yeah for example i have been waiting since page 2 back in march 09 but there is no point in posting " Is it done yet" every page once it is ready he will say so.

Otherwise you just end up with 33 pages of mostly, When is it going to be ready? questions...instead of a solid 10 pages of constructive case design questions

good God... someone please make a "are we there yet" emoticon just for Mick and this thread?!?!?!

hahaha...

some things are worth the wait...

No, actually, this is a good idea. I'm sure a lot of people would like to use this in Skinnee's GTX 480 waterblock roundup thread as well...

:rofl:

Yes, I just made that.

it should read more like, Is it ready yet?

Hhmm, you know, there are several other buildlogs that could use such a pic :rofl:. Maybe showing Cap'n Flint some love with this pic will give us updates :ROTF:.

Yeah, but I think I kinda gave up on those. Sorry Naekuh :p:.

kinghong1970: everybody knows, that those will never be completed. So makes no sense to post there, it will be just yet another rhetorical question. :)

Maybe this ziptie chair will convince him to continue :rolleyes:?

:rofl:

damn... where can i get one of thems ziptie chairs?!?!?

i was doing some cable management when my girl asked me...

"daddy, what is that?" (pointing to a ziptie on my hands...)

"honey, this is a little wonder we call zip tie... if we had this about a hundred years earlier... we'd be flying through space..."

it's kinda like when Bubba started the recipies of shrimp...........

ziptie to fix laundry rack
ziptie to lock broken patio doors
ziptie to lock travel bags
ziptie to lock zipties together
ziptie to...

the uses are endless...

hahaha...

Totally, zip ties are probably the best invention of the 20th century, together with paper clips. Ow how many times have those lil' bastards helped me to get into small spaces. Not to mention their uses in cable sleeving :p:.

How did you get into zip ties? This is a case log! :D

What can people do when they get bored of waiting for case? :)

Lawl, you could make him stop, but I guess you're enjoying it too much :rofl:.

It almost seems to me that this case is not going to be made.

If you think about the cost factor that this would be the case would be horrendously expensive.

Depending on the type of aluminum the costs could vary drastically, as well as if the internal components are fabricated or they are from a seperate third party, the costs could vary drastically.

Now my opinions of the case are, it is a great design, allows for some pretty sophisticated watercooling configurations. Only issue is it looks, well... bland.

If there was a possibility of getting the sketchup files, I would make some modifications to make it look like a case that would not only look appealing, but also have some portablity built in. Other than putting wheels on the bottom.

So, here is my proposal Mick64. Be honest with this forum. Announce your "manufacturer", share your files or just say that you are not doing this project and it is an idea that you can not get the necessary resources for. As for me, with those files, I could turn out a system such as that in about 2-3 weeks for a prototype. But that takes in to account for material ordering, quality, and well producing the individual components.

So, there you have it Mick64. If you want to have a community oriented design, you should at least release your sketchup design. Do not get me wrong, your design is great, it just needs some sprucing up in detail and overall appearance. :up:

Let me know if you want to share your file(s). I would love to make some modifications to make it even nicer.

Best Regards,

WHICKED

Thread has gotten even more interesting...

WHICKED,

interesting post bro... but... Mick's been working on this for such a long time and it's his passion...

i don't know you and seems you've only come to XS and so i'll just have to take your word for it but...

1) if you want to propose to be the mfg for this case, then why don't you sign a NDA with Mick and then ask for the plans?
2) if you can improve upon... well, mick's design in sketchup is pretty easy to replicate and you can find tons of reference files for the sketchup components that you can use... perhaps it's best for you to come up with your own design...
3) if you can produce a proto that quick... brother... can i be your friend?...

not asking to post some pics or for some creds but... in a way... i guess i am?

i'd be very curious to see some of your other projects.

as for who mick is workign with on this project... that's his decision... or he could also have gotten into a NDA agreement with the mfg as well?

just my opinion..

but seriously... post some of your work...

thanks!
