spoke about this product when I first
heard the news a Kickstarter it's
currently a Kickstarter thing right yes
IndieGoGo IndieGoGo inside of here is a
case that allows you to DIY your very
own cheese grater current-generation not
even out yet mac pro and it looks
exactly like a mac pro um maybe 250 200
to 250 depending on which specification
you get because it can have two
different graders on the front it
actually seems like a pretty cool PC
case on its own in the sense that you
have some pretty high quality materials
if you're cool with emulating the
upcoming Mac Pro if that's what you're
looking for so that's what it's called
it's called the doom case Pro this is
the other front panel the front panel
that's stirred up all the attention is
probably pre-installed but for whatever
reason they give you the option for two
separate front panels now I don't know
maybe you want to keep it a bit retro
aluminum can be very solid construction
you see the anodized look to it
depending on what you order via
indiegogo you can pay a little extra I
think it's like 80 bucks if you choose
to have the different look anyhow the
main attraction is in here now it is a
standard ATX case in fact you can it can
fit extended ATX all the way down to
mini ITX so you could do all kinds of
different builds in here and because
it's Universal you get to pick your
components completely it's fully DIY I
can see this being popular for the
hackintosh community as well I actually
try to boot into Mac OS on what would
typically be Windows Hardware I'm just I
assume there's still a community mmm-hmm
I've done it this one has the new cheese
grater is what you're expecting to see
on the new Mac Pro there it is that
actually doesn't look too bad in person
well it gives us almost like an early
look at the new Mac Pro as well because
it is going to look exactly like you
know what that does kind of look cool
with this little space-age it's like
each cutout has a series of three
inside of there this is removable so I
suppose what happens here is you can
pull this off I guess
yeah that pulls off completely like this
I have been told that this also somehow
helps a little bit with sound but if you
prefer the old-school look that gives
you a look at how the chassis is going
to show up if you go with this ball you
see there's a couple of different
mounting locations for front case fans
okay that's just a solid pretty standard
location for a motherboard installation
as I mentioned earlier ATX motherboards
gonna fit in there EA TX down to Mini
ITX you also have a tremendous number of
mounting potential for your other
hardware you have two cages over here
you can also mount hard drives below in
this part of the cage when you remove
the other side five separate mounting
points for SSDs in here you can remove
these cages let me go ahead and try
actually maybe I should there we go yeah
so these are removable maybe you want to
install a really large graphics card to
span the entire unit you'll see you have
also a pretty large area for a power
supply that's something you're gonna
wanna have this is a like a fairly
expensive case obviously so you have
space for a large power supply okay
our look at the SSD mounting points 3.5
inch hard drives of course have
tremendous amounts of storage these days
so I could probably get away with a
couple there a handful of SSDs over here
and we're cooking this is one area
that's probably gonna be different than
the eventual Mac Pro when it comes out
to USB type-c connectors and a power
switch up on the top of the unit I don't
think that's happening on the new Mac
Pro on the Apple Mac Pro the new Mac Pro
in this location up here there's like a
spinning handle which once twisted
removes the side panel
you lift up so it's a they have an
elegant implementation they also have an
elegant price to go with it yes can we
get a starting price on the upcoming Mac
Pro will he do did they tell us
officially I don't recall yeah 10 15
grand you can spec it easy I'm certain
so anyhow I was actually kind of goofing
on these feet they look so much like
IKEA furniture you gotta you gotta tell
me if you see the resemblance anyhow the
interesting part on this particular case
I can't speak for the Mac Pro because
I'm not sure if they're gonna do it this
way or not but on this case these can
unscrew as you can see and so apparently
you're going to be able to replace these
with casters if you choose to from
actual IKEA you see that well I was onto
something can you really that's what
Doon case I said do in case Proctor so
it could be useful to have this thing on
wheels kick it around the the production
facility the opportunity to water cool
it and yes of course you can do that
there's plenty of mounting potential
limit the number of fans in there you
could do a water cooling set up a
water-cooled hackintosh build look it's
the Doon case Pro I don't know how upset
Apple is I presume they're fairly upset
but maybe it's just a case I don't know
kind of as a preview for the new Mac Pro
because I feel like I'm in its presence
I can I can't imagine what it would be
like to have one just by examining this
case right here so it seems to me this
product is going to encourage a lot of
people to do their very own Mac Pro ish
builds and I guess to bring the Windows
community and hackintosh community into
the fold at a fraction of the Mac Pro
price tag there it is it's the Doon case
Pro
