If the guy had scratch built the frame then it wouldnt be so bad. I dont know what that looser is thinking. Paint, feet, and a fan grill = %500 markup? That guy should be shot.

Re: High Roller... Case? For how much??
No no, Doom3 is a piece of art. If you look close enough you can actually see stains from blood sweat and tears. :) Lots of little bit & pieces. Moving parts, intergrated lights. Thats craftsmanship!
Bill Owen who?
The only custom thing on that case is the fron beziel. He cut the bottom half off, inverted it and painted it silver. The paint is imperfect.
Thats the only thing i can see as being custom. Minus the bolt on feet and fan grill.
Judging from the 3 cases he has on xoxide, his "WarMachine" case is the only case worth more than its weight in manure. (i like that case a lot).
[edit]
I didnt really look at that other case. Exceptional airbrushing! ****ty mods though. $5 appliance casters and a window in the bottom of the case with no window in the side??? Who picks up there case to look through the window on the bottom? Honestly..
Re: High Roller... Case? For how much??
you know ive shopped their for a while and i still dont know how to pronounce it is it like x-oxide or just oxide? or like zoxide? (the Z being liker xaiver)
Re: High Roller... Case? For how much??
People might also be being the name with it.
Like the pre-mades the american choppers do. They dont just make super fantastic bikes all the time. They make little kit bikes just so they can actually make money.
Re: High Roller... Case? For how much??
I agree Cana that their custom work relies heavily on factory cases--which in essence is true case modifying-- But i do have to say that Bill's work is better than his partner's.
And Ichbin is right, even the custom themed bikes made by the chopper guys are built on many many pre-made parts. It's the custom details that set them apart.
Re: High Roller... Case? For how much??
Maybe we should put it to a vote.
Asuming you had more cash than brains. Which of the fallowing cases would you buy and which would you be most proud of owning and showing off to your friends?
A. http://www.xoxide.com/xoxide-kikboxe...ller-case.html
B. http://www.xoxide.com/zalman6.html

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I think you should quit the drugs.
Jesus... I've never been happy with Ritalin, and the way it protrays itself.
Sorry ben, but this is just what I would say to my kid brother. Please don't be pissed.

Re: High Roller... Case? For how much??
wow, $1000!
Thats not worth that by a long shot. Maybe $200 tops. Besides, is anyone else not impressed at the scratchs on the front polished aluminium?
