    Roumec,

    Interesting activity. Since I am anyway thinking about replacing my 5yr old MePo HTPC in the living with something fancy, this is definitely a project to keep an eye on. Have you thought about front alternatives, i.e. not necessarily using wood but aluminum? This would probably blend better with my amplifier.

    Regards,

    I think this wouldn´t be problem. Aluminium front plate could be machined on same machine but with another tool. But prive would be little higher, but I think that not much.

    I prefer the the sides as the front/back, maybe it could be setup to the point that it can be(maybe even a rounded front and back instead of flat) If you like let me know the cost and I'll decide if it's doable. Like yourself I'd like to make a few.

    If you are happy doing some like this or even part finished, I would be interested in some if the price is right. If I understood your first post right, you are looking to do a batch lot. I had the same idea about building a few and selling them, just like you are planing.

    Yes, I´d like to start a campaign on www.indiegogo.com and if the people would want it, I´ll start manufacturing. If I understand you, you want to sell my product in your country, or you want to be part of project and manufacture it with me?

    Either way or just buy some from you. Depending on the logistics of it. Might be getting off topic now, hate to waste your time chatting when we could be reading updates...
