Topic: Bolt II / bolt III case question Posted: 09 Jun 2017 at 3:30pm |
I have been in love with the case designs for the bolt 2 and bolt 3.
For the last year I have been searching for cases close to and just barebones or fried mobos versions of the bolt 2 or 3. I want to build a custom desktop with either the bolt 2 or bolt 3 case on my own time so i could customize the case but no such luck. Will you guys release the bolt 2 or bolt 3 cases for sale bare bones eventually because it would be awesome to buy one of those cases. I know im not the first to ask this as hundreds of people if not more want to do the same thing. Or will you guys only sell the completed systems with no case only sales? Id buy the case for 200$ easily if it was avaible on the website. Hope to hear back from digital storm on this matter. Yes everyone else I know that they probally wont sell the case, becuase they make tons of money on building it with components then charging labor ect so it pays the bills but eventually they might sell the design for the case or atleast sell barebones versions of the bolt 2 or bolt 3 heres to hoping. |

DS probably won't do the Bolt II again and then, even if they did, it'd still be offered as a complete system.
The Bolt 3, however, is based on the Lian Li PC-O5S. Lian Li makes a range of wall-mountable cases that host a variety of sizes of systems. You don't get the DS logo cutout or the PSU cover, but everything else is the same (you get the standard tempered glass cover instead of the acrylic panel DS uses, instead, as a bonus).

Loved that glass cover. DS used to offer it.

Hey there, I think you might be in luck!
I own 2 Bolt 2s in black and white. They're just parked in my office right now, so if you're interested, you can reach me at my email on my profile! Cheers! |

You may have luck unloading them at the Small Form Factor forum Buy/Sell/Trade thread. (it requires a nominal contribution to post, to keep bogus posts out, but probably many interested people over there)

Cheers!
I did think about posting there, and wondering what I need to do to get verified. Thanks again! |

Not much...easy to sign up for an account. To post in the Buy/Sell/Trade thread, you just have to get a one month membership, which is only a couple bucks. I'm a moderator over there (I don't get paid, so not trying to hawk something I benefit from), so if you have any questions, just let me know.
