Hello ExtremeHW!

Hello ExtremeHW!

 

Glad to be here! I design and fabricate computer cases. It would be nice if there was a (sub-)forum for Scratch Case builders.

 

Also curious about how welcome "hardware reps/vendors" are/not on ExtremeHW.

Hey Spotswood,

 

Welcome to EHW!

 

Good idea regarding a scratch case builder forum. I will add that to my list of upcoming additions (Next day or so). As for reps and vendors, they are more than welcome here on EHW. Due to the infancy of the site, I am yet to create the badges signifying reps on the forums, but again I will be doing this in the next day or so.

 

We will also be supporting rep advertising should a rep wish to do more than only support their consumers. A thread regarding this topic will be created soon instructing perspective advertisers how to proceed in getting setup

 

I look forward in seeing you on the forums.

 

All the best,

E

Very cool man, looks awesome. how are you cutting the aluminum? CNC?

[Spotswood]

The build is a prototype.

 

I cut the extrusion on a miter saw fitted with an AL cutting blade. The sheeting is rough cut on a table saw then onto a CNC router:

@Spotswood Out of interest, do you ship case products internationally ?

[Duality92]

Personally, I had Spotswood make me a custom case, I still have it, it's the only case out of the almost 50 I've owned in the last three years that I've kept!

Nice, it is true what they say sometimes, less is more. Good air flow with that one
