new store (mainly selling aluminum cases)

[reedlaw]

I've been working on this for quite a long time now as some of you may remember, but I think it's about time I opened to the public. My main offering right now is a custom-made anodized aluminum case:











I plan to offer much more including completed x0xb0xes, parts, and possibly kits. Everything is a work in progress and I haven't had any real orders placed yet, so please bear with me. We are located in central China, but can ship all over the world by EMS. There is a shipping calculator that will tell you exactly the shipping price to your home country. I tried to make the shipping as inexpensive as possible. For example, to ship one aluminum case to the US is just under $20. You can check my store out now:

is that case suitable/available if the IO/Overdrive mode is already done? obviously the backplate would need extra holes, but not sure how the standoffs differ (there is a difference as far a si remember)

[reedlaw]

I believe it is spacious enough to accommodate IO Board modifications, but to be sure I would need exact measurements.

Nice job! I like that..
My only query being.. Any particular reason for the extra space at the base/front, by the keyboard?
And while I am here.. Should you ever consider producing a more '303' look front panel, (Like the lovely SE Bassline, then I would be all over that like a rash!
Still, I do like it as it is now too though..

[reedlaw]

Extra space could mean more room for mods, a hand-rest, aesthetics, or whatever reason you can think of. I could possibly design another one after these are gone with a more 303 look, but this one is classic x0x (same font as ladyada's).

These look nice. But i would have liked to see a different face style. Maybe offer different variations at some point? Nice price though, if i ever get another kit, i'd probably pick one of these up.

Hi reedlaw, nice cases

I have a couple of questions for you:

can we pay with paypal?

what's the size of the box?

can you sell an extra front panel?, just in case something goes wrong when adding mods

thanks a lot!

1. So far my store only takes paypal.

2. The box is 228mm x 260mm x 56mm. I have also added DWG and DXF files with full measurements on the product page.

3. Sure, I can sell an extra front panel.

[SineSurfer]

oh, hehee, I meant top panels.

I'll dig for funds to get a case soon

[reedlaw]

Can do top panels as well.

Great price, but can you make it smaller? Seems like a lot of wasted space at the front and back - cool for adding mods, but I'd prefer a smaller footprint, any plans for smaller?

Also any plans to make some decent ribbon cables with molex (or similar) pin headers?

[reedlaw]

Like I said above, the extra space could be used for adding mods. If there is enough demand, I suppose I could look into having the extra top and bottom area lopped off, or you could always DIY with one of these cases.

[rarara]

would also be keen if it was slightly more compact

[Fiercefish]

Make it as small as possible and I will buy at least one, depending on how small you can get it.

[SubStyler]

the smallest is 240 x 200 x 40mm... smaller is not possible if you use standard x0xb0x components inside.
my own alucase is 240 x 205 x 42mm. (there are pictures here on forum)

cheers

ps: I'm still working on veeeery small enclosures but not with the standard components. but this will take a lot of time I think.
