If i design would one you guys make?

[caesar2004]

hi guys im really new and dont know anything about modding cases and i honestly dont want to make one myself. I have about 4 designs for a case and i'm wondering if one of you guys could build the case for me. i will post the designs in about 2 weeks or less because im not at home right now. you guys can use them if you like them because i make designs everyday for stuff

thanks in advance

i forgot to mention ill pay!!!

To tell you the truth, to make something really great looking, it involves cash. well cash, and more time than it ever seems possible to have. People may scavenge your designs ad incorporate them into their mod, but unless you pay very well, nobody would just build it...

sorry about that little shutdown, but I was a designer first too.

There are a few companies that will work with you for what you are asking. I forget who they are though...

I know of one company and I don't know how their price compares to others. But you can check them out.
Here's their site:

TomsHardware used them and did a review, which is here:

If you live in Washington, I'd be willing to do something for ya. Post the designs and I'll see if it is within my skills and tools range.

[Zephik]

You could always have Crimson do it for you. That would only cost like what? Both of your arms and a leg?

[tybrenis]

I'd be happy to do a case for you. However, you'd have to post designs and descriptions first so I could see if it was within my limits. I don't have much technology to work in metal but when it comes to plastic or wood I could definitely help you out.

Yeah man, post some designs. I'm sure that somebody here will have the wherewithal to be able to make it for you, and at a reasonable price, factoring in parts and labor, of course.

Hell, if it's nothing too hard, I might give it a go. but I doubt that, as I've got my own project ideas =]

[caesar2004]

ohh thats so nice i never really expected such an overwhelming response. Thanks guys when i get home ill send a design or two. Thanks a bunch!!!

edit:

in fact i feel like designing one now and hopefully have it up in an hour or so

[caesar2004]

These are very very very very rough drafts the screwball took forever to draw in photoshop and honestly im not much of a photoshop person. its a very simple and basic design but the art work of the screwball etc is really what i want on a case. what i have on paper looks way better though guys so dont make the comments too harsh as my aunt doesnt have a scanner. scroll below to see what took me hours to do in photoshop...




well here is the open side which u wud view the mobo... doesnt look very open does it? the grey area is supposed to be clear acrylic which i have absolutely no idea how to do in photoshop...

and here is the closed side view looks the same doesnt it just without the grey box...

here is the front view which i think i did the best on seeing my very limited photoshop skills. its not hard to figure out as there are 4 drive bays 1 floppy bay and that big white circle is supposed to be the power button i got tired and apparantly forgot to put in the 4 front usb ports, the mic and speaker port...

makes sense. Of course would you give designers reign to change it up a little to make it work? or would it be "Gotta look like this or your fired"?

[.Maleficus.]

That's a pretty cool design. Mind making a Sketchup (http://www.sketchup.com/) of exactly what your idea is? Color, full case pic., etc.?

[d_stilgar]

Like I said, If you live in Washington state (or close to) then I'm all for it. I of course will need to get paid, but I have the tools and skills to do a mod like that.

[caesar2004]

well guys u can mod it in any way but here is the catch... the initial design with the amped and the screwball and black and white plus clear viewing for the side must remain the same. peace out homies!!! im tired from kickboxing class

edit:

Its the design for my krew ^_^

[Computer-Geek]

Where are you located ? Would it be fine to ship it ? i'm just wondering.

[caesar2004]

of course it would be fine to ship it. but ive been witholding where i live because its kinda far from all of you. its a place with nice beaches and watever but we are best known for our eh hemm puff puff *cough* stuff. i never read the rules so i dont know if i can say or not. I live in jamaica... that alone i think is gonna turn alot of you guys off

[d_stilgar]

Shoot, I'll do it for money as long as I don't get ripped off. For the side panel, you want that to be a window etch? Is that a window for the mobo side too? You want the front painted, or is that a fan grill?

My suggestion for the sketches would be to take a picture with a digital camera of the sketches. You don't need a scanner if you have a camera.

[GT40_GearHead]

one thing you forgot to mention is your location, that is an important detail

edit: i think i may need glasses, you live in Jamaica ma bad.......... wha' Jamaica ?! man that is a great place

This is an absolutly GREAT link! Did anyone check out the _FREE_ design software and templates yet? I know my company will be using these guys in the near future for one of our best customers!

Thanks! +rep
