    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)
    You're in TBCS?
    You do realize we're following a guy that's the

    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.

I mean its cool, but it just looks like something a "fresh" modder would build. Now... if it were a production line case, that would be a totally different story. You can't put a major amount of detail and work into those kinds of things. **Well then again, Isn't tribaloverkill doing just that? Dangit he is good...
    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.

    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.

    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.
