One thing we should keep in mind is that, although "overpriced" for our tastes, if somebody pics it up and buys it, *we* the moddin' community benefits...
If they sold such a case at $1,000, then by god-all-mighty, so can we.
(ok, others... I know I'm still a looong way to go in moddin things)
Good point...I was actuallly contemplating if I would want (After my mod of course), see how it fairs in a marketplace, then opening up my own studio or something with a group of friends.
So yea...I see your point. As for me though, its overpriced.
You don't need many skills or $1000 to have a case with wheels on the bottom, just a drill, a case, and some wheels (and whatever else you might need). I could easily take my case and attach wheels... not that there would be much point... it's not like I'm in a power chair and go everywhere, if that were the case, I'd get a laptop... or a shelf with a generator to put it on...
Nice sig, by the way, Ichbin. It's great.
load of crap. All they did was cut a plexi hole out of the side and add shiny stuff...
i personally hate the idea of them putting their stuff up on xoxide or any custom modded cases for that matter i mean lets think i about the friggen basis of the site i mean we dont want other people modding are cases!
-thx for listening to my rant ben
well if there is one good thing to be said about that case it has a sweet paint job. i'd sooner buy the new bfg 8800GTX water cooled edtion and put it in a crappy case.
The price tag's on thoes psudo custom cases's are horrible. If Crimson tried selling a case for that amount i would litteraly resign my membership to TBCS. :devious:Quote:

these are serious custom cases being made by Bill Owen and Co. They are craftsmen and artisans. I'm sure there are many hours of work and detailing going into these. Anything custom or hand made is going to be pricey....just friggin face it. You would all freak out if you knew what i charge for custom projects. You all need to consider the price of custom luxury items. American Chopper anyone?. And don't think any less work goes into some of the mods out there than a custom bike.
Doom3 case mod? Think down payment on a house, or a Cadillac Escalade.
Actually I would charge about $1350. Better pack your bags. See Ya! :banana:Quote:
