Knothead: Here is what you need to make and sell!

I've seen some of your wood work and that wood case you made some time back and thought you'd be interested in this link..

here

Those are some purrrrty cases... even the bezels are wood. Very nice, indeed.

I think we saw a similar link before. That looks like they took a chieftec case and put wood shelf paper on it

Knot could sell his design to that company and show 'em what they really look like

You mean that's not real wood, it's contact paper? lol

*edit.. it's real wood. Vass made me look!


**wtf.. my edit keeps disappearing lol...

"Note: This is a real wood product. Clean with a soft cloth and furniture polish. Every one of our computer cases are individually made choosing the best characteristic in the veneer. Just as each piece of wood is different, so are all our cases. From worm holes to checking and cracking, these variations are inherant in each peice of wood and add to the individuality and are not to be considered defecets."

I posted a news link to a review of that case (or similar). It is not wood, but it is also not just a paper finish. It is thin wood lamenent over metal.

N-I-I-I-CE....

They're applying wood veneers to standard cases. Looks good, and still has the mechanical applicability of a metal case, in terms of the interior.

The biggest problem with "all wood cases" is the amount of work/time to make the interior workable, as well as making the exterior. I had to go to some pretty exteme lengths to make the entire unit feasable; and let's face it, $1500 bucks for a case?? The dang things take 3 weeks ( of hard work) to make!

It works well, but...my audience is a "Lamborghini crowd". And let me tell you, they (the customers) don't jump out of the woodwork to greet you!

Most people consider a Lian-Li case (at about $200) to be expensive!

The marketplace will always determine "what's hot/what's not". and I wish these guys the best.

My own (hand-made wooden) computer is a source of personal pride for me, and will remain so.

no it is real wood it seems

We at FrozenCPU.com recently discovered a brand new method to physically add REAL WOOD to a case.

hey Knot.. one of these days.. in the next year, maybe 2.. I will be gietting one from ya.. I just need to pay down my current bills, and will have plenty of free cash then.. and I think 1500 is not out of reason for a work of art..

edit kind of left off the rest of what I was saying there

Yes. Veneer is "real wood".
