more importantly he has deliveried on everything he has promised, so he is very reputable already. also you are not preordering he sells when has stock only. theres still always risk, but probabaly 1% of anything crowdfunded.
I guess they are just machining the parts themselves, which means the price reflects on the machine time + working hours.. = expensive.. They probably can't lower that much, unless they mass produce.
I've been following the dune case for awhile, and will admit, loved watching it crash and burn in discord. I been following mcprue for a long while afterwords, since he was recommended in the dunes discord, after it crashed and burned. The price is egregious for sure, but its supposedly referred to as a "boutique" product made by a small team. They've come up with a few various form factors over the past few years. Im glad someone decided to make a video on it.
I actually think the price is kinda reasonable. This looks like it takes a lot of machine time to make and it's a low volume product. Weather or not it makes sense for someone to spend that kind of money is a different question.
I seriously appreciate how you are willing to not drag out a video, you could easily pad this out to be 10-15 minutes but with 0 actual added value or content
I 100% agree with your take here. Wish there would be some more premium options for atx-cases around the 300$ mark. I bought the Fractal North and love the look of it, but I would've happily spent double or triple the price for some higher quality materials.
@@phantomflame0658 that hinks. both the aston martin and the corolla are made from the same materials. the difference for quality pc cases should be the thickness, the machining and the surface finish and not the actual material
@@Dubulcle Maybe steel that is not 0.6-0.8mm thin, even the 30$ cases now does glass and steel that is 0.5-0.8mm thin, why spend 100-200-300$? Threads that can be stripped with a single finger, all kinds of plastic tabs that brake sometimes on first use and etc. On 30$ case it is understandable, but when 150+ does the same it is not just "you got your steel and glass"...
IMO Fractal probably have the best industrial design and positioning right now to do something like this. Imagine what they could do with a bigger form factor, but using the same methodology of the Fractal Terra. They have the formula down, aluminium and wood construction, good airflow and temperatures, reasonably priced, etc.
The issue is that Fractal is an established company with a large western presence. They can easily be sued by Apple for copying the design. These fly-by-night Chinese companies can get away with it because they can just close up shop and spin up again under another name overnight. They have nothing to lose by making knock-off Apple cases. Fractal has everything to lose.
You hit the nail on the head with the PC case industry. Cheap steel and plastic that focus on showing off RGBLED, no matter the price. What the PC industry needs are cases with better materials and design language that caters to Western tastes, like some of Fractal Design's more recent offerings.
@@quademasters249 You're on a channel that mainly focuses on premium PC Tech, of course people can. Hell, the Monitor he mainly recommends is 1200-1500$
@@Babybarschalarm If people were able to afford it, you're wouldn't see the makers building cases out of paper thin sheet metal. The quality slip is exactly a response to increased material costs while trying to keep prices at a level normal people can afford. The fact you are I might be able to afford it is irrelevant. Most people can't afford to buy a high end case. We're a tiny minority of a tiny minority. It's like people who buy manual transmission-ed cars. There aren't enough of them to keep manuals alive. The best case I have was made in the '00s. Thick aluminum welded up chassis. More aluminum than this Faux apple case. It was a couple hundred back then. Today it's a $6-700 case.
Yeah it’s kind of funny how many products copy each other You can see this with packaging of different food products-every company uses the same kind of expected packaging
They can make this cheaper if they had bigger demand. Since they're already selling them in small batches, they should start to do a kickstarter with lower price like $500-$600.
I am also a person who has been scammed. Is this case related to the Dune Pro Case manufacturer? This product is very similar to the Dune Pro Case. I funded it for the first time, but I got scammed the first time, so I no longer fund it.
I love that you show the project zero build when showing off the "ideal gaming look" hehe. It's the reason I built a 4070ti super project zero white build. The wireless look always turns heads and I've had so many comments about how clean it looks. Plus runs like a dream :)
I bought the SFF version of this (Apollo S) and it’s a fantastic product. If money is no object and you like the design and you want high build quality, this ticks all the boxes. People who say the price is high need to realise making that 3D pattern in aluminium isn’t cheap.
I was 100% on the fence backing the Dune Pro back when it was announced. Sucks that it turned out to be a scam, or maybe that 1K price point is the true cost to get that level of machining for those materials 🤷♂
TBH, I don't like the design but I like that there was accurate crafting from "high-end" materials and overall a polished look. I wish more PC cases were like that instead of just "shining lights, look!". I think this goes on the same category as the Fractal North.
This genuinely looks like a solid PC case. Excellent airflow through the front panel (as we already know from the real Mac Pro) and bottom-mounted intakes for air0cooled GPUs. We need more manufactures designing and building cases at this level.
I like my Evolve X and Evolve ATX for similar reasons. No painted tin on display, anodised aluminium and glass. (And in my case, Oak slats on the front of the Evolve X)
McPrue is legit. I bought both the Apollo L and the Apollo R (The server rack version) and I love both of them. Everything about the experience, from the build quality, shipping through to the discord support and community is premium tier. I will never need or want another case again, it has it all. I was surprised it took so long for a reviewer to pick them up!
I can only hope that this is a new trend in cases. I keep saying that mesh side panels need to be optional. As of now they're only somewhat common in the iTX market.
I would advocate for product reviewers to decline any sort of coverage of a product that is in the crowdfunding stage. It implies too much legitimacy to a product that has yet to go into production. Some YT'ers need to take accountability.
As someone who built their PC in a Mac Pro cheese grater tower, i love that someone actually went out and built an actually PC compatible Mac Pro case. Not worth 1k tho, but ig due to prolly complex manufacturing and low volume ig i get where it comes from, but still.
That has been my dream for over 5 years to find a case with is matching perfectly the design of the Apple MacPro but with PC Components to match my needs
One thing that Apple does better than most, is aesthetics. This is very aesthetically pleasing. They take a ton of design cues from big design heavyweights like Braun (Dieter Rams), Bauhaus, etc. They know what makes a good design, and this is proof of that.
you should honestly chose their MCPrue Apollo L, thats the closest you actually get to the design. with the true shell design apple uses, instead of sidepanels, look it up, it looks beautiful
It's not completely closed off, obviously, but also there have been 'hyper premium' cases, so to speak, for ages. Like several of them, you had that Zalman heatpipe monstrosity that makes this and the real macpro look like any old Compaq PC case from 2000-2001, yes I mean those beigeish plastic front things. There have been several others too, that I forget the name of but for instance that weird thing out of thick aluminium extrusions and plate that was boxes slotted into a round vertical pipe - THAT was cool, well, but I doubt they sold many of them at like $1400 a piece or whatever it was. I've had a Thermaltake Mozart TX that makes the mac pro case look like the empty box of a bicmac in comparison. I still have it, in storage, the front "plate thing" is an inch thick at points which also means the thing is the heaviest PC case I've ever come across. Now I'm using a Y70 touch to have something both reasonably sized as well as aesthetically pleasing. So, this is reasonably nice but it isn't revolutionary at all, not even close to it. The Zalman case back more than 20yrs ago was, it didn't only look special, it truly was, in the sense that it allowed one to build a passively cooled full bore PC of the era. Sure, SSD's weren't a thing like now, so you'd probably have a spinning disk in it, but aside from that you *could* build a silent PC.
