Older info below which is still partially relevant
This
is the order thread for hand made aluminum Poker cases. This
is not made using a milling machine (CNC). So just as a
warning, if you are looking for machine perfection, you may
be disappointed as there will be minor signs of assembly
(welding), so please take that into consideration. On the
other hand, you could say that it gives it character! There
are plenty of pictures and video footage of what you can
expect for the most part. The one illustrated was the
prototype however so most notably the USB jack cutout is
very ugly looking but it will be cut square on the
production versions.
The outside of the case will be
glass beaded (similar to sandblasting). This is done to hide
signs of scuffing that develop during the manufacturing
process as the metal is handled, so it is not really
optional. The top edge and inside of the case will not be
glass beaded. It is made using 3/16” thick 5052 aluminum and
weighs 1 pound, 14 ounces without the keyboard inside of it
or 2 pounds, 8 ounces with the keyboard inside it. The body
of the case is a single sheet of aluminum folded up to
create the walls and the walls are then welded at the
corners. The keyboard is mounted onto a separate metal
insert that will then be [strike]glued[/strike] tacked
(minor welds) to the body.
Price
The actual price
I was quoted is $64 per case. This price will not go down if
there are more orders as these are made by hand, not
machine, so it’s no easier to make them in bulk than it is
to make just a few.
The effective tax rate in Quebec is
14.975%, so with taxes it comes to $73.584 ~ $73.50. I then
need to charge for the price of screws, insulating material
and [strike]glue (still looking into the possibility of
having it spot welded aka “tacked”)[/strike] (tacking
confirmed!). I’d like to charge $80 per case then to cover
this and it will probably leave me with just a little extra
which will allow me to get a case for myself for free, which
I think is fair for my part in this. Other than that this is
a non-profit project I took up for the benefit of the
geekhack community so prices are as close to the actual cost
as possible, enjoy!
Rubber feet are not included, so
you will have to figure out something of your own if you
want to elevate the back end of the case. Ergonomically
speaking though, it’s better to let your keyboard lie flat!
I don’t plan to use any feet at all.
Shipping
This
price does not include the cost of shipping. You will be
charged the actual cost of shipping when it comes time to
ship out the cases. Please bear in mind that when packaged
this will weigh about 2.5 pounds (heavy in terms of shipping
costs!) and will be placed inside a box approximately 3”
wider than the Poker in all dimensions to allow for padding.
If you are not located in the United States, I highly
encourage you to look up the cost of shipping from
Pointe-Claire, Quebec, H9R 5L9, Canada to your location
using Canada Post (
http://www.canadapost.ca/cpotools/apps/far/personal/findARate?execution=e1s1) so that you have an estimate of what shipping will cost
you so you know what to expect. If you pay for the case and
then realize that you can’t afford shipping later I won’t be
able to refund you, so make sure you know what you’re
getting into!
If you are located in the United States,
I will be shipping all the cases out to someone in the US
(probably mkawa) and then he will distribute them from
within the US which will be much cheaper. You will then be
charged the actual cost of shipping from within the US plus
a fraction of the cost of me sending it to the US
distributor. For example, if it costs me $100 to send out
all the cases to the US distributor and there are 40 cases
destined for the US you will pay $2.50 in addition to the
local shipping cost.
If anybody is interested in being
a distributor for another country to try and save money
please talk about it amongst yourselves and let me know.
Ordering
If
you want to order, please PM me with the following (address
format for US residents, but please use an appropriate
format for your country):
Geekhack account name
1x
Aluminum case
John Smith
123 Fake Street
City,
State 12345
Country
If you accidentally forget to
include the “1x Aluminum case” I will assume that you only
want one. That line is mostly for people who would want more
than one.
You can then send money using Paypal to
stephenpoconnor@gmail.com
as a payment of goods. You will have to add the 2.9% + $0.30
Paypal fee for a total of $82.62 USD. Please include the
same information in the Paypal note as you did in the PM.
(two
cases would be $164.94, three cases would be $247.26)
I’ll
keep this open till about March 29th.
