      @ocpistol:

      Thank you! I wanted to make my own because its something fun to do

      It is fun to do.  We do it a lot.  Here are several experiments: http://imgur.com/SyXRqd4

      Sometimes we go a little nuts: http://imgur.com/6DNonNp

      Jason has been waiting to see this: http://imgur.com/Ymi4xgM

      Those pieces are absolutely gorgeous! Laser cut air bend so incredibly nice!!!!!

      I am hoping for a laser in my shop in a few years. I have to get another Swiss lathe and vertical mchining center first.

      Are those 304 or 430 stainless steel?

        They're aluminum.  We're going to hard tooling for production.

        And in case it wasn't obvious, that's a dual-core Rangeley board.    ::)

          You are going to stamping or punch press then? The board are fricken cool, Rangeley really!? like 5wt?
          I am surprised you arnt having laser cut and bent on a press break. How many do you make a year or planning?

            Not a current punch, a hard tool.

            don't forget, we do high-precision injection molding (we can hold 0.04mm) in another side of the business.  (http://www.smallworks.com)

            more expensive.

            That's a secret, but "more expensive" should give you some clue.

              Very Cool! I love machinery its so cool, Injection molding is so complex its insane. We have been working on manufacturing our own beer faucet. We are doing precision casting which is from a wax injection mold. Having alot of problems with getting the shrink factor figured out. Polishing here in the states is a nightmare as well, its impossible to get anyone to do it worth a dam.

              I am Surprised you dont have one of these sitting there running 24/7 making cases https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdqqm0Hi7nc

                Slick!  What does the blade chassis do?

                I can break anything.

                  I like big open roomy builds if you have the space for it.  Easy to modify and parts are usually cheaper if space isn't a factor.  It looks good.  Working on it will be a breeze for sure.

                    Testing, mostly.

                    Some NFV in they future.

                    Basically it's a way to get 10 NUCs to mount in 3U.  There is a faceplate (not shown) that can mount a second Ethernet adapter.

                      I was trying to solve this same problem a couple weeks back to build myself a home virt farm (theoretically, hadn't bought or built anything).  I ended up abandoning the idea because a single Gig-E NIC per box wasn't going to meet my needs.  Is your second NIC connected via USB or PCI-E?

                      I can break anything.

                        (mini)pci-e.

                          NUC idea is brilliant.. level of finishing for a test project also.
