The Palit 1080ti are really good for the money - were the cheapest 1080ti available when I bought mine (cheaper than the crappie reference leaf blower ones!). Mind you it's a 3 slot card so make sure it fits!

this is a thing? why is it not made of plastic?
Hand crafted from the finest materials, my friend*
* = I don't know maybe it will be once the prototype is done?
somethingsomethingdarkside - maybe cause they are a furniture company and thats the license they have wtith CiG
oh wait crap I gave a serious answer - apparenlty I need more beer

at this point, wood and the C&C machine are more cost effective than 3d printing/molding? I have no good answer, and damn i'm super jealous
Its difficult to tell. Now with metal 3d printing having significantly come down in price I know a lot of machinist wondering if they will be soon looking for a new job.
That's a really good question. It's part of the design production process. It's made out of wood because it's cheaper than plastic for the manufacturing stage. You could 3d print this, nothing technical stops you. It's just that CNC is actually a lot faster for large objects, and you're not trying to maintain a constant temperature. That and, if you have the CNC machine, and some plywood lying around, why not Vs the several Kg's of PETG that would consume.
What's sitting on the CNC machine's table is probably not the finished product waiting to be painted though. It's probably a prototype or mold blank. It's got handles stuck to the side, and a for the lid latch - so I'm thinking prototype. Once it's got any kinks worked out of the shape, they'll be able to use this - or more likely a sibling - to create a mold and reproduce it. The process is fascinating to watch, if you ever get a chance to see it.

lol that is CNC machining....not hand crafted.
and the milling process has started (also they are doing another case for someone from Lantern Watch so might see duplicated parts in some pic's going forwards)
and its getting there
not sure why forum' is turning pic sideways but oh well :)
