XFORMA Presents the MBX MKII Limited Edition PC Case

XFORMA, creator of premium PC cases and accessories, today announced that the MBX MKII Limited Edition case is in production and available to pre-order. A limited series of 250 MKII cases are offered for sale, and are being manufactured in cooperation with SilverStone Technology; a Taiwan based global leader in the PC industry.

With the MKII, XFORMA takes aim at the high-end segment of the market. "Conversations with our Customers over the years led us to conclude that there's legitimate interest in a precision-crafted, ultra-refined product like the MKII. Every other area of consumer electronics has a premium segment except desktop PC cases, and we're proud to introduce the MKII into this underserved segment of the market." -Charles Harwood, Founder of XFORMA.
With its integrated systems, the MKII offers a "ready-to-go" case to discerning Enthusiasts wanting to create their own high-performance dream PC. Until now, such machines were exclusively available through boutique PC system builders. The MKII is unique in that it eliminates the need for extensive DIY tools or skills to achieve a beautiful, tailor-made result. "Our goal with the MKII was to design the definitive enclosure for creating the ultimate liquid-cooled PC; a machine that effectively blends extreme-performance with bold, refined styling."

Pricing and Availability
The price of the MBX MKII is US$1,250 in its base configuration. Original add-on parts designed specifically for the MKII are available to further enhance the case's form and functionality. XFORMA is taking orders now and expects production to be completed this summer.

KatanaiWe are in 2015 man. When you can cut out anything you want on a water jet machine for a reasonable price. The machine itself costs 10000$ or more yet these bastards want 300000$ for this run of 250 cases. They could buy 30 machines for the money they want to make. Yet I bet they didn't even buy one. Just paid a shop to cut it for them for well under 10000$ for the whole batch...
Not for a quality machine. Good water jet cutters are $50,000+ (usually more towards $100k) and have very high maintenance/operating costs. They'd also need a CNC mill, press brake, sand blasting cabinet, and other equipment, space for all that equipment, and experienced operators to work them.

Even at the price they're asking, 250 units is nowhere near enough to justify the cost of doing manufacturing in-house for this design.
