    Everyone,

    I told you I'd take pictures of this brushed aluminum case I was checking out.... This is the smallest one I got.... it's about 2.5" which is big enough for the S5/M5/W5 and the powersupply and/or batteries.

    The unit in there is actually only the base of a black S5 with an M5np palmrest painted in audi imola yellow..... It's a pet project you'll see later on.... The point was just to show it fits in there and it's pretty nifty.

    It's got nice lockable hinges.... totally looks like it could hold about 50g's... atleast [ :)]

    Let me know what you think.... I think they are about $130 for this one..... They go up to about $160... 2.5" to 5" ....... solid.. great for a W1 (same color)..... V6/W3 would look awesome in it..... even better if I can get a black anondised version to match those two units...

    Nevermind checking that link till morning...... I just found out our guys totally shut down our servers till morning.. In case anyone has been following this since late yesterday...... our servers have experienced about 5x times the traffic we usully get and somehow something got screwed up on the configuration pages which has caused some headaches on both our side and with customers. On that note... a few Z71v's are still not allocated. I've been helping customers get orders in another way so if thats what you're interested in, drop me a line and I'll help you take care of it.

    Thanks,
    Justin
