Maybe Josh is training up for being in a ZZ top cover band?
It's an interesting and creative design, the BOM discussion seemed a bit disparate as he said it could be made inexpensively if you were a maker whi happened to have the right materials in stock, but buying it all from scratch would cost nearly $300...
That said I really appreciate the NFC design language, ethos and philosophy.
The S4T is probably the most appealing product to me currently
A YT video from NFC is always a treat

Indeed.
However, a shaven guy usually has the cleanest SFF build.

exactly my first thought... but then I had a closer look at the BOM and CAD files... if you just go for acrylic (no fancy wood & paint) and order the panels from some manufacturing service like SendCutSend it's about $70-80 for the laser cut parts, plus the 3D printed frame stuff which you could do at home if you have a 3D printer...



of course it will get more expensive if you add "premium" materials like wood or metal but I think you could get it made *starting from* around $150

anyway, it's really nice to see that more case makers share their designs and ideas for the DIY community free of charge...

Thanks for that detailed analysis @REVOCCASES, it's good to see that it could be made for lot less with careful planning and your own materials.
I did forget to mention that the screws listed were for a bag of 100, which will be plenty!
I'd be interested to see it with metal front and rear panels for example
