Dear All,
Now that I have projected important possible upgrades to the casing, I would like to ask you few questions regarding this project:
1. the extension that I am currently working on is of 1mm thickness because I was aiming for stainless steel as the material for it with powder coating color. it will not look as clean as aluminum but it will look clean no doubt. would you like to be stainless steel? working with stainless steel for such design will definitely means bending and cutting and welding rather than machining like in aluminum.
or thick aluminum as thick as the original shell? that is 4mm aluminum and CNC work of course. the 4mm aluminum extension will make it look very seemless however it will surly increase the price.
2. I believe that I have come across something really awesome that is not yet presented. coming soon in the updates, would it be OK if the casing volume with the extension becomes 13 liters? I am thinking of making one more extension that is smaller than this and would increase the casing size to about 10 liters. just to add bigger water cooling support if someone wants to upgrade from console style.
3. I understand that there are other good forums that I can publish my design at like OC, HW, LTT, reddit and so on, I just want to finalize the design here as much as I can since the gurus of SFF are here
. I would like to ask the help of you all to guide a media outlet to review the casing make a youtuber or an SFF forum member from the experts to review the casing.
4. last but not least, and this is an important one, what would be a fair price for the console style full package (without the water cooling extension)? I have a price on my mind I would like to know your thoughts.
your reply is most appreciated.
