I don't even wanna think how long it would by hand. Theres no way I could be that precise. Waterjetting simply kicks ass.

Sure, and I'm asking what I've got into it. Heres what you could expect to pay if you sourced everything yourself

Case is currently on pricewatch for $95

2, 12" CC kits @ $13 each = $26

Top Handle modded & installed = $30

Window design including plexi & CAD work = $79

Total = $230

I'm open to keeping the CC kits and pulling the generic PSU.

contact me if interested

Very nice window!

Bill, you going to be using waterjetting for future products on a regular basis?

If you could, that would sure save you some time and wear and tear for you. It would also allow for some very intricate designs for future projects.

Yes FoeHammer!

mnpctech has teamed up with a Waterjetting service to eliminate the Jigsaw and Dremeling As you can see, its as acurate as laser cutting.

I'm currently working on an array of designs to offer Modders like this Tribal ball. The longest labor process is redrawing my designs in CAD for the machine. I think I've got 13 done so far.

This case and 2 others were the preliminary try-outs. One of the others is a Lian Li PC70 that belongs to one of my affiliates and a Chieftec case I've been working that will have a Harley Davidson theme... see Eagle cut-out
