    Never. Unless you work in a machine shop CNC work is extremely expensive ($100/hr). Nevermind that the case involves nearly $3,000 in aluminum.
    He also probably doesn't have time to dedicate to making kits.

    It seems to me that maybe this case could be made a practical commercial endeavor simply by making it cast aluminum/polymer construction rather than machined.

    I know that G69T has said that it's a one-of-a-kind, but I'm just saying...casting is an option, and some of the non-structural parts could be made from acrylic or something similar.

    I wish you well on your first public appearance with this beauty and am sure you'll have lots of positive response... its truly a work of functional art.

    Seriously deserving of more sponsorship! I hope this will highlight the greatest case since Orac and BaddAssumption. I only wish the best!
