This thing is insane.

This is a beautiful example of industrial design, an absolute masterpiece, sadly I don't have the money for such a case.

In search of the future, new tech, and exploring the universe! All under the cover of anonymity!

This is honestly the most beautiful case I've laid my eyes on, and I wish I could realistically afford it and do it justice. I doubt we'll ever get a case like the TJ07 and its many modded variants ever again, and it's a shame, it's that good.

I disagree. This case definitely SHOULD exist.

 

It's breathtaking in it's simplicity and impressive with insane attention to detail. A true testament to the creator's mastery.

 

If I saw that video one year ago I would have had a hard time deciding between this and my current case and not for a second would I think that it's not worth it.

 

EDIT: and congrats guys on the video, really well made. You managed to create almost mythical atmosphere with those shots and music. Fitting for such unique product.

Loved the production quality, was definitely needed to showcase the design. Wish I had the money to get the DeLorean.

Loved the video and the case, but why does Linus keep saying optical drives are dead? For games/software and OS sure, but until a good cheap reliable bluray player(I've yet to see a good one under $100) comes on the market, or USBs take over (maybe in 10 years) a computer is still the best bluray player out there.

 

CD and DVD drives are technically dead tho.

I wish I had $1300 to spare. If I did...I'd have ordered it already.

If only the shipping to the Netherlands wasn't another $333.21 on top of the riduculously awesome promotional $1299,- ....... I'd be able to afford it. Damn.. Only $200,- short. If only next paycheck would be sooner. Darnit.

I spent $120 on my last case...and it looks better than this one that costs 10x as much.

 

For fucks sake this shit doesn't even use tempered glass on the window.  Yes please, I'd like my $1300 case to use a material that scratches by looking at it and also appears in $25 cases.

If I had $1400 laying around I'd just buy another PC (not like I need a 3rd high end gaming PC)

So much work but...

Is that 8-pin connector shroud broken?

Thank you Nick and the entire LMG Team! 

 

I was nervous about being on camera, but Linus and Brandon did an awesome job making me feel comfortable. Working with the LMG Crew was a blast!

 

We're overwhelmed with the positive comments and support for our efforts. What a wild journey this project has been these past years. Many lessons learned that we are keen to apply to future projects!

Not broken - surgically cut with an exacto to be exact. This is done to permit a tighter bend radius over the GPUs.

A masterpiece!

But unfortunately, the price is quite high for me.

Dont worry, at least they didnt have you doing skits with them!

 

Amazing looking system, like 99.9% of people i'm not the target market for such high end stuff but you can be damn sure if i was to win the lottery next week i'd be firing off an email to you! Really hope the modular concept works well for business, any plans on doing accessories like the fans or lightbox designed to fit into other cases?
