Carbon Fiber Computers/Laptops/Cases

CarbonFiberComp · April 23rd, 2009, 01:55 AM

I am currently working on a project in creating either computers, laptops, or cases using carbon fiber. If anyone is interested in one of these either post here or PM me. Thanks!

How much would a carbon fiber computer case cost? That'd be totally badass.

agreed!!

We're not exactly sure on the price yet but we know it will come nowhere close to the outrageous price of Ultra's $1000 carbon fiber case. It will be at a much more affordable price. I hope to have a price and pictures within seven days. Does that sound fine?

**Tommy Boy** · April 23rd, 2009, 02:10 AM

I just saw the Ultra cases, $1,999 for a full tower, but I saw the mid-tower for $699 on Tigerdirect. I'm afraid I wouldn't be getting one unless you gave it to me. A bit much for a pc case.

That would be a really interesting case. Carbon Fiber is supposed to be easy to paint and design on too no?

CarbonFiberComp · April 23rd, 2009, 02:13 AM

Haha Tommy we will certainly not be selling for those prices. A bit too much if you ask me.
And Joga, painting shouldn't be much different than a normal case but it will probably look quite a bit nicer on carbon fiber than a normal case.

Well, we'll see what your prices are.

You could certainly send me one to test out....

CarbonFiberComp · April 23rd, 2009, 02:19 AM

Hehe, I'll see what I can do

What do you think what be an acceptable price range? Just trying to get some ideas

superman22x · April 23rd, 2009, 02:27 AM

It really depends on what it costs you for supplies and all. I mean, most people look around $100-$150 when buying a case I would say, but this is a bit unique...

CarbonFiberComp · April 23rd, 2009, 02:28 AM

Yup, I know it depends on our building costs but I'm just seeing what people would be willing to pay for it.

I agree. Also depends on how long it takes for you guys to assemble it, how easy you can acquire parts, and how many you sell.

**Tommy Boy** · April 23rd, 2009, 02:31 AM

Are you making the parts with carbon fiber material and the epoxy and baking them? Or are you taking existing pc case parts and wrapping them with carbon fiber material?
