I've been eyeing this thread for quite some time, and I must say, these cases look fabulous! I believe I read that you plan on doing a second group buy in the coming months. If you are still planning on doing so, please put me down for one case. I plan on building my projector over the summer and I'd love to put everything in one of these nice enclosures.

I wont be doing another group buy like this but I can scrounge up a case for you. Just give me a month or two after I ship to everyone else. PM me to remind me later.

Can I get mine Autographed and Dated by you, Austin?

Yeah No problem, where on the case?

I didn't think that you could sum up all the work I did into a sentence, but you managed to.


Thanks Everyone! This group buy has been a huge undertaking (too much for one person) but I'm glad most of the work has been completed. Not one person from the forum bugged me about getting them completed, and that has helped keep me from getting too stressed out. All of your kind words have been appreciated.

I got in touch with Stanwax and he is hard at work at finishing the boards. I'm going to pay for express mail so I can get the boards next week. That way i can ship the boards with the cases. That will save me the trouble of making multiple shipments (and you the shipping costs)!

I have my first gig (although Its for free) this friday so I have not had time to ship the cases. Which worked out good because now I can just wait on the ILDA boards and ship everything together.

If anyone can help me out with LivePro that would be great. I have the Laser Insanity Training DVD and I'm going home to study it tonight but I'm sure I might need some more help by this Friday. So if anyone is familiar with LivePro and has some show tips maybe we could Skype chat, just PM me, thanks!

Great, thanks so much! Any idea on how much extra a single case will cost to build? Also, I'd like an aperture mask, so please reserve one for me if you still have any left.

I'm really glad I was able to get in on this too and looking forward to it's arrival. I'm in agreement with beamann in that it ought to be autographed considering the amount of time and effort you have put into these. It might just add to their value someday!

Thanks!

Hi All!

The issues continue with this project but everything should be solved very soon. I was really hoping to use Paypal and the postal service to ship everything but I keep getting an error. I tried for about 2 weeks and even called paypal but its still not working.

I have decided to just ship it all through USPS.com and get this finished (its going to take alot more of my time to manually enter the info ). STanwax has mailed the final components (ILDA board, Key and Power Switches) But the ILDA boards seem to be hanging up in customs. All three packages were sent on the same day (almost 2 weeks ago) but only two have arrived. I'm going to wait till the end of the week for them. If they dont arrive by then I will just ship them seperaetly. I really have to get all these boxes out of my apartment.

Everything is boxed up and ready to go, I just need to place the ILDA boards in the boxes and place the tracking labels on. The invoices are being sent out today!

Please double check your invoice to make sure everything is correct. I like the rates that Paypal shipping was giving me but alas their service has been giving me trouble for too long. The average cost for shipping domestic is $60 for single case and $80 for two cases. That includes signature confirmation, Insurance and the packing materials I purchased.

For international shipping I am using the prices that come up using the shipping calc tool on the US postal service website. The postal service does not offer insurance for priority mail. If you would like to upgrade to express mail, then just send me a PM and I will send you a different invoice with the updated price.

Sorry for the delays but things just keep getting in the way. Thanks for everyones patients!

Hello!

The cases are being shipping now! I am adding tracking info to your last paypal payment.

Please make sure you are available to sign for it. I just sent three cases with my old address for return shipping so I need to make sure they get signed for or they will be returned to the wrong address. I have corrected it on the rest of the shipments but a few slipped by me.

All of the cases will be in the mail by Monday. I own a small car and work long hours so I'm having to get them to the post office in batches. Those that paid for express shipping and those that paid their invoice first are getting shipped first.

Thanks everyone for being so patient (I feel like i have said that a lot lately). Everyone has been great through all the troubles of this group buy.

I feel I really got everyone a quality product and only had a few regrets (which I will know vent to everyone). 1) It took so fooking long 2) I forgot to add a d-sub 9 pin connector hole on the rear panel (for the remote connection on the ILDA board) 3) I never got M8 hex bolt covers ( to cover the bolts on the hanging bar). Although I think if you paint the hex bolts black it will have the same effect. 4) there is probabaly some more but I can't think of them now.

I have double checked everyone's packages but please make sure that all the items you ordered are in there as soon as you get it. I will be releasing a youtube video in the next few days with assembly instructions. I just need to find some time to do it .

Thanks again!

Thanks Austin!

Can you post mine last, I am in China from tomorrow for a week so won't be able to sign for it if it comes next week.

Cheers.

[laser_freak]

You are awesome. I can't wait to get mine.

Austin, could you tell me how many cases are sold? I will get everyone the m8 black covers. I think the case needs 4. If you make a list of all the buyers with their adresses then i will send each member the covers. Afterall the case is my design and so i,m happy to help.
