They should offer the cases separately as well; maybe even as kits.
Or if you're good at woodworking just make one yourself.
Sometime I may make a full composite case depicting a Porsche; but that's still a few years down the line because I just don't have the time for that kind of a project at the moment.

C'mon, Clawhammer. After all it includes an SLI ready watercooled PC with a 19" monitor ... AND it's Windows Vista ready ... AND it's build 'to grow and change with future generations' ... I WANT ONE FOR THE KIDDIES!

ASUS MoBo --> Need I say more?
120mm Rad + 3/8 tubing --> Would need upgrades/replacement to handle serious OCing.
No PSU brand name listed --> not a good sign

I'll stick to building my own case.
Mine may not be quite that level of craftsmanship, but I can work up to that. It appears as though the craftsman is relying heavily on exotic wood and keeping with relatively simpler designs. $6000+ for those cases is definitely a little unreasonable. It's good to know though since I plan on selling cases.

Keep in mind that that's $6000 for a case, 19" wide screen LCD, H2O cooling, MB, CPU, GFX, etc.
When you do the math it's probably ~$2500-$3000 for the case itself.

I will say this because I am a wood worker of 20 years that specializes in Hand reproduced 18th & 19th century furniture primarily Chippendale
If the guys wood working is of impecable quality those cases take a long time too build and are worth every bit of $3000.00 for the time and artistic talent involved to build them!

Amen to that Bro.
The finish itself looks exquisite. On top of that they're all hand made (from quality woods) and most definitely took a lot of time/care to construct.
$3000 would be well worth the case; I just wouldn't want the ASUS MB etc. that are in the finished computers (Well maybe the LCD).

I'll bet it would easily be possible to commission a case from them, if one could afford it!

Why is it so many people always look for the negitive thing to say about something? face it the thing is beautifull. and the person intrested in buying something like that has tons of cash and would purchase it more as a work of art than a overclockable gaming rig.

Time is money and if I made one for you it would be of museum quality and you would pay me dearly for it but it would be perfect in every sense in form and fuction!
And thats what you get when you commision a real Artist thats devoted his life to perfect his craft
