a little more costly to produce, but if your going to be sitting next to it for several years i think it would be well worth it.

Still rather nice though how the wood came out.

However I am not too fond of the front design... to me it looks somewhat incomplete. If I were to design this, I would run the front "blinds" design all the way to the bottom to hide the buttons/IO part and possibly place the on/off switch someplace else. Even then, this design would be a bit of a hassle IMO 'cause lifting the front door every time you need to plug in a USB drive/CD/headphones will get old real soon.

Other thing I was thinking... for such an impressive piece of work and so much time/money invested, how come there are no media-card reader and dual disc drives? But that's just me and maybe I am being too demanding... lol

Regardless, A+ for craftsmanship/effort and A+ for overall design.

Look through the log and you will not be disappointed, this beautiful artwork looked cool before it even had an outer shell.

The most important aspect I read is the creator of this fantastic wonder had no freaking clue how he wanted the final product to look, kind of like the close encounters of the third kind over a much longer process. I don't know which to worship in admiration: the case, or the man.

The metal work on this is just sick.]]>Dec 16th 2009 1:57PM
