Hey gang, I just released these new 3/16" thick Billet Machined 5.25 Drive Bay Blanks and Toggle switch covers for 1/2" size Toggle switches. I think they look hot!

Available here

this cool But i perfer to make some one custom by my self !!

Any Ways Thanks For sharing and Good luck And keep going !!

this will be help on some projects thanks

Thanks Computerking! I agree, theres no greater reward than making it yourself

I like them mnpctech_guy looks great will have to get some later on down the road when i get some extra cash i might need 2 possibly 4 of them for my U2-UFO Cases.

Well Bill you are just about there....

So when can we expect the all billet machined aluminum case?!

This may sound stupid but, do they come in 3 1/2 inch size?

You know what? That is not a stupid question, if there is a demand for them he might have them made.

Man, those look fantastic! Let's see... I can order some blowholes to go with those... no, wait, sold out... what about handles? Nope, those are gone too. Man!

Sorry, Bill, just had to give you a hard time. Do you machine those yourself, or have a shop do them? They are truly beautiful.

I agree. There may be as much call for them as 5.25 with fewer and fewer people using their 3.5 bays for drives.

Exactly Lokie and HoJo, if I didn't have a 3.5" card reader mine would likely be used for a fan and/or light bus.

Wow, I thought I was going to get flamed for a stupid idea.

Looking good Bill. Just wish I was more of a modder so I could use alot of your pimping arts

No Probleme man this maybe will be helpful with some pople !

Thanks and Good luck keep going with good deals

I'm glad you guys like them!

Sure, 3.5" could be made. I'll have to wait and see how these move first.

Thats what I'll call Heavy Metal. Yea, I've considered it as a HTPC.

I'm also envisioning a SFF type cube that I can manufacturer. It will accept standard ATX PSU with top mounted retractable LCD screen. Some type of carry handle. This would be alum panels, a billet case would be too expensive.

lol, no prb! Yes, it appears I can never make enough to meet demand.

I do the designs and contract different local machinists to manufacturer them. The cost of aluminum changes like the stock market. My material cost maybe a lot higher than my last production run. As mnpctech grows and generates more revenue. I can place larger material orders and inventory larger quanities. I call it growing pains, but I'm learning how to negotiate and buy smarter.

they look awsome!

Those are Nice!!! Bling Bling........Maybe when I get the Armor case I can use some of those........

Negotiating is easy Bill. You walk in, ask to speak to the owner of the shop, and simply say:

"Listen here. Yous is gonna make deeze here parts for me and my boys for 10% less than you woulds charge anyone else. And da reason yous is gonna do it is 'cause my friends Louis and Ralwing will get very upset if ya don't. And you don't want to see dem upset, trust me"

Of course, it helps if you can pull off the brooklyn accesnt and have two large goons stnading behind you with a Louisville Slugger and Rawlings baseball bats...

Oh, and they look great.

So when are you and your Bro gonna be in the twin city area so he can hook up this meeting?

hmm I like all your work but what are they made out of? Stainless Steel? Aluminum? Etc?

awesome work Bill, I'd like to see a triple bay cover with a vent or duct for a 120mm fan but thats far down the road, these are more demanding than that

now for the case that would be sweet a cube SFF case couldn't be beat I'm glad i got some of those vandale prrof switchs too, i havent looked but im sure they sold quick

I'm a really big fan of your work Bill, but as computerking said as well as you doing it yourself is just so much more fun and rewarding
