Sure, here is some more info --
I've had a few questions about availability of cases and these 4 'proofs' have been just sitting in their boxes, so I wanted to make them available for anyone interested. I always had planned to make these available, but it took a while to get the finish on the covers and top plates. The cases have various color powder-coated covers and top plates, and some have the option of different colors or a natural brushed aluminum top plate. These have some differences from the standard MI-6, so the pricing is reduced.
These 4 cases were part of the group of final pre-production proofs I ordered from the sheet metal house before I had them kick off the 40pc production run back in Dec. I used them for fit checks and quality verification. The chassis' have correct dimensions and finishes, and match the production run except for the following:
(1.) Only 1 front cutout for access vs 3 on the production run.
(2.) Slightly lower (5mm) front I/O mounting on the 1 case that has front I/O.
(3.) HDD bracket mounting uses 6-32 threaded holes, rather than the M3 inserts on the production run chassis.
(4.) A few minor scratches in the chassis from fit checks.
(5.) The finish on the covers and top plates may have some texture or orange peel.
(6.) Depending on the case S/N, there are top plate color options.
There is more info and photos on the ccd webpage in the News, Answers and Shop sections.
