I'm not high on open-air cases but it is pretty cool.

Is that a pun on the open air nature of the case? [emoji14]

It certainly has an interesting design. 4mm is pretty thick, but the choice of aluminum over steel give the option to anodized and change the color (either by the home enthusiast or the manufacturer). I still think I might prefer a thinner steel chassis, but only because it would offer a slightly smaller footprint. I fully appreciate that the choice of material and thickness is part of the aesthetic as well functional. I would like this case more as a special order that could add customization. If I could choose designs and have them milled into the aluminum, or have a choice of colors/patterns/hydrodipping then I would be more likely to consider this case, even at a stiff premium.

Just my .02

There are plenty of machine and specialty shops that will do exactly this for a (no so) small price. Hydro dipping can actually be done pretty easily by the end-user too.

Yeah I get that. I'm just saying this particular case would be a bigger draw for me if those options were available from the manufacturer instead of sourcing the work locally. I would settle for different color schemes though
