Default The Cbox

Do you remember the Cbox?!

I recently had the pleasure of corrosponding with Robert Jacobsson, creator of these custom made cases. He lives in Sweden. His day job is a designer for Volvo. In his free time he enjoys building custom cases. He stopped running his website, the-cbox.com to concentrate on other things. He was known for generously sharing his design files. I asked if I could host his files on my site and he kindly obliged.

Robert has posted all of the CAD files neccessary here to build your own Cbox II Se

Man, I keep thinking to myself "it's probably expensive to make all the parts, and what fun is it putting together a case from plans (instead of DIY)"... Then I look at the pics and I don't care anymore.
Do you think it would be possible to put together a bunch of orders through one machine shop and maybe get a bit of a volume discount?

So, how about innovating the fins into a rad, or even cutting a grove out of the bottom of them to place a rad, and turn it into a WC case, lots of customizations could be done with that case, its like buying a premod, just i this case, its using a premod design

ohh yea he said dont put a window in it, read te design note in the DIY guide
