Very Very nice.

Dare I ask roughly how much something like this would cost? :eek:

Thankyou! It's roughly 800x600 so its HUGE, oh and its probably not far off 75kg when fitted.

Yeah pretty big.

So is the phase going in the bottom and the water stuff going on the other side of the mobo tray?

I am not obliged to say - but it's taken thousands of man hours and thousands of pounds to develop.

Yes, dual single stagers in the bottom compartment and water up top. It will be cooling dual opty's on a Tyan board.

First ones were cut by hand - new ones can be machined. I wanted to structure my costs initially.

Cheers

That's enough to give me an idea of what it costs. Fair play to you.

very nice indeed! Amazing work as always

Wish i could build something like that

Looks Awesome!

Thanks for your comments as always. Appreciate the feedback. I've been thinking about the mesh front. I might use some aluminium mesh and polish it up. The front hole is an intake so it needs to be practical as well as pleasing to the eye.

Looks great so far mate, and well put together, very unique, not sure about the wheels on the bottom, will have to wait and see a bit further down the line, me thinks

Yes the castors. There's a very good reason for them. I tried chromed up castors - they broke. Problem is they have to be very heavy duty and nothing would look quite right. Chrome castors that were up to the job were massive and looked out of place. So I settled for the best comprimise.

Use it as the desk.

Looking good Phil. Not sure i like certan parts of it as it has a bit of MM feel to them and look tacky slightly but it's a UK first and tons of effort put in

Please weight it once everything is in there and running

Doc Shorla · 17 Apr 2007 at 01:08

Built in anti theft device i see aswell....no one could carry it away

It couldn't be further from a MM case mate

The only similarity is the fact it is a rectangle

I've had several MM cases and believe me, this puppy is on a different level.
