Aluminium Case being made!


I dislike both, between a dull black or an awful military looking olive green...

I think the black will look good, but I see more of a dark silver than a full out olive green in that picture..

Are you saying dull black because black is dull? Or have you seen a sample of this particular black and think it is dull compared to other black?

I didn't think ED's picture was showing the jet black choice. I am expecting that we can get none more black.
 
no, I've not seen this particular black, it looks probably good I meant that I would have liked some nice green/blue/pink or other bright colors...

Well, I think this means you're out of choice for colours if you want the aluminium case:

4. Aluminum AW7075 is not good for color anodizing. The colors will look pretty pale with a yellow colour fault.
Unless you find an alternative method of painting?

With the case files open, you might be able to get yourself a brightly coloured 3D printed case?

I guess you could additionally coat the whole case with Plasti Dip (sprayable liquid rubber in different colors). However, I've never tried that stuff. It's pretty expensive here.

I am one of the people that likes both colors.  I am not a big fan of bright colors unless they are green, and 2 of my other favorite colors are black and grey.  I too see the grey as less OD (olive drab) and more grey with a tint to it.  I am pretty sure I have encountered this color a few times and like it.  If I could get OD as a choice I would really have a problem (I like OD), as it is already a close call between the 2 existing choices, but I have so many black things already...
 
Another way to look at it is the black is a pocket-sized ThinkPad.  The grey with "military" greenishness suggests durability and that it can be used outside.  At least in my head.
 
Yep, we need pictures. We already know the silver is not a military green, assuming my screen is anywhere near colour-correct. If we had pictures of a sample of black then we could refer to the pictures, not the descriptions.
 
So or so we first have to see the finished cases and then we can decide which one looks best. ^^
I know I am jumping the gun a bit, but I like the look of the aluminum one best.
I like the sample provided for mouse grey. I also like the idea of jet black. Choosing will definitely depend on samples of the whole case together..
 
Rainbows are another thing present on a variety of old hardware.  The 2 problems I think of are getting a small and affordable quantity of rainbow plastic pieces that aren't painted, and deciding which rainbow to use.  Also, some people may not want a rainbow on their expensive Pandora case, but I am with you.
Probably because the gay scene has established this symbol and I doubt that the majoritiy of Pyra users will fit the bill. ;)

Yeah, but you can show support for their rights even if you are not part of the group.This or in Berlin live quite much Tibetans. XD
 
I'm obsessed with rainbows, and I take huge offense when people assume I'm gay.... Which is constantly... Wtf?


Oh yeah, if you're male you have to wear plain colours, watch sports, fap to fast cars, have short hair, get buff, make vulgar jokes about woman with your mates, get drunk on the weekends, and most importantly...


Belittle and insult any male who doesn't conform to your steriotype.


F U testosterone!!!


and F U gay community for claiming the entire freaking spectrum of visible colours as your symbol. God damn!
