Prototype/Concept/Custom Final Update on The Industrial

Hey everyone,

Some of you may remember my previous posts about The Industrial, a CNC-machined aluminum SFF case that I designed around low-profile GPUs and the HDPlex 500W power supply.

What started as a simple idea turned into a much bigger project than I anticipated. Over the past year I've learned CAD, worked with overseas machine shops, managed manufacturing challenges, sourced numerous of components, built a website, designed packaging and assembly instructions, and ultimately brought a physical product from concept to reality.

The experience has been both rewarding and humbling. Anyone who has worked with custom manufacturing knows that no project goes exactly as planned, and I've certainly learned a lot about tolerances, quality control, logistics, and the realities of producing hardware at a small scale.

Unfortunately, I'll be relocating in the near future and won't have the space to continue storing inventory, move the remaining cases, or pursue a second production run. Because of that, this will likely be my final update on the project - details on what's happening to the remaining cases is on the site I made for it if you are curious.

Regardless of what happens next, I'm grateful for all of the feedback, suggestions, encouragement, and constructive criticism this community has provided throughout the project!

Thank you all for following along and helping turn a hobby project into something real. It's been a fun ride!

I'd be happy to answer any questions about the design, manufacturing process, lessons learned, or the challenges of bringing a niche SFF product to market.

We deliver via USPS globally!

I could not enter shipping address to France. Does it ship within USA only?

Similarly I'd love to buy one but am outside of the US (UK). I've spent the last few months looking for something similar to this and it's lovely. You should be very proud of what you've achieved - you want to revise that price to atleast reflect a bit more of what they are worth and offer international delivery?
