Where to get a Custom case made

B1ue

Does anybody know where I could get a custom PC case made, i have all the designs and measurements and everything sorted i just dont have the machinery to make it myself. So if anyone knows a place that cuts metal or a places that deals in custom cases then that would be a great help

I'd imagine you'd need someone like a tool maker with access to a machine shop & that could be fairly expensive. With no disrespect to general Eng workshops like those that make gates and stuff, they can be a tad rough when it comes to finish & you wouldn't want that for a case? Ideally you would want access to a paint shop that has a facility for powder painting with bake ovens to get that hardened finish too, maybe a car repair paint shop?

Yeah i guessed it would have to be done in multiple places, somewhere to cut it then somewhere to get a nice paint job done

You could ask Bolgers, they apply a finish too.

I like to see your ideas too? It would be good to see what an end user actually has in their head as opposed to what manufactures think users want?

Either way it would be the ultimate "self build"

Now there's a thought, imagine we pooled our resources and designed a Boards.ie Case that we could all order (and thus make it cheaper)

It's got to have the 0 o eyes as side panel windows

Custom cases can be amazing for function, but usually they're lacking on form. Chiefly because they're usually manufactured from simple-ish panels, so they tend to be fairly boxy looking (which I'm generally not a fan of) though it's a great thought. I'd love to see what we can come up with.

as long as it has room for 2x 480 rads in seperate compartments I'd probably be game. maybe one above and one below the main part. then a single 120mm fan in each to get air moving and you've got epic silence for any setup. and it must be white.

Screw that. I want support for two 2x200 rads.

White? White?! Gun-metal grey FTW.

Best custom case has been done guys, we may as well all just give up.


STALKER.

The BSG one is downright bad-ass.

i remember a couple of years ago a fella selling a little devil case on adverts for 350-400 euro which was actually a fair enough price. Some other fella (prob trolling) came on saying he was taking the piss cause he could build put the same thing together for less than Eur100.

There is some amount of work involved in fabricating your own case (especially one that looks like a little devil case) so I would be really interested in seeing them specs also! SO many measurements to take into consideration and then putting them all together. Im getting a headache just thinking about it. But i certainly would pay a fella Eur200 if he could build me one to my spec!
