    Completed SLATE-CASE AQ >>Status Update - Finalizing Order Fulfillments!

    It was mentioned earlier in the thread that the air version will come some time after the aq version. Setting all this stuff up for production takes a lot of effort and it's much easier to execute on making one product (and making it well) rather than the two simultaneously.

    I think one of the form (vs. function) centric uses of volume here is that internal IO space at the bottom of the case. For other cases it's still used space, it's just outside of the box rather than incorporated into it. To me, that makes the either Slate configuration more attractive for use...

    This is actually turning out to be very similar to what I've been idly designing - I like it! Especially: Mesh front/back Simple, clean side and top panels Vertical orientation Unidirectional air flow Concerns: Does introducing CNC milling increase manufacturing cost by much? That power...

    This may be beyond what you're willing to do stylistically with the case, but you could extend the top/bottom panels past the front and back faces to create one or more overhangs for carrying. Pardon the 1-minute photoshop hack job, but something sort of like this: I'm not sure how much of a...
