    if u can keep the price down on that sucker, then it would be amazing, people would be buying it left right and center, but a high price would drive away some of the buyers. i say 200-250$ and ill buy 4 XD

    I think price would depend heavily on materials. Aluminium is going to be much more expensive than steel. Would you prefer a high priced aluminium case or a lower priced steel one?

    Dunno, how about steel frame for stability and rest alu to keep weight down?

    Anyway, where do I line up for preorder?
