Company from linus rig update vid?

[Dimetime35c]

So in his video linus said he built a case from scratch then sent it to proto case I think? Yeah I know linus can get things built that the "normal" person cant. Is proto case a private like company just for select things like businesses or could the average person send them a sketch of a case and they'll build them it? If not are there any companies that for a reasonable price able to built you your own case from the ground up with the pieces you pick and the specs you want???

Yes, you could design a case for them to build for you as an average consumer but it won't be as cheap as just buying one (obviously)

just have jerry 3d print you a case

linus's case is barely "custom"  the only custom parts will be the rad mounts.  Other then that just a few tapped holes for the pump/reservoir and its a normal 4U case.   Really I would have liked to see him do a "Mod" build instead...  the brackets could easily be bent out of aluminum, or even 3d printed...    OH well maybe protocase will do something special (im guessing it gets a nice orange and whit paintjob)

Hi there, we specialize in custom sheet metal manufacturing, including electronics cases, brackets, components and panels. We're a one-stop shop for people who want their design manufactured in 2-3 days.

 

Our customers range from engineers and designers, whether at large companies or small shops, to people who are more tech enthusiasts.

 

Anyone who has a CAD file of their design can certainly order from us (we also offer design services, where one of our techs can create a CAD design based on the components you want - but that can get pricey). We also have our own free 3D CAD software called Protocase Designer. Fun and free way to try out 3D designing with it

 

Hope that clears it up a bit - let me know if you have any other questions!

Definitely understand. We have lots of customers in the EU, but I can't guarantee you won't have some taxes/duties if you order from us. Feel free to send me a DM if you'd like with your location if you'd like, and I can look into how much taxes typically are.
