The Beast x0xb0x - Including Modular Format

custom milling and engraving by Julian on the SDIY list. Be sure to click on this one for the full size shot.

Update: more images and info here. These will be available. via the AH mailing list:

"This week, I'm releasing both a new format x0xb0x, and a new finish to the desktop unit.

I have recently been making a lot of panels for use in the MOTM and Oakley systems, so a x0xb0x 'module' became an obvious next stage.

These units are built in the 5u format, with a compatible look to the large format modulars.

You can read about it, and see pictures here -

www.thebeast.co.uk/x0xb0x/

I have also become bored with the cosmetic finish of the desktop units, and felt it was time something was done in this area. Specifically, i feel that the stock 'brushed' and screened aluminium finish marks far too easily, and that printed overlays never quite work out perfectly on a panel as complex as the x0xb0x.

In light of that, I am now producing my own anodised engraved / milled panels for any desktop builds. These are made in glossy black, with sharp silver engraving and milling. Not only do they look exceedingly slick (even if I do say so myself!) but the finish will be way, way, more durable than any other finish I see currently available. These panels are produced on site, where I can keep an eye on the quality, and get a really very fine looking product.

Again, you can see photos on the above link.

Now for the introductory offer -

For a very limited period (5days) I'm offering the MOTM / Oakley format machines with a fairly large reduction (at least £50 GBP) against their normal selling price. The deadline for this offer is midnight (GMT - I'm in England, remember) on Friday. There are more details here -

www.thebeast.co.uk/x0xb0x/x0xb0x_offer.html

Again, the offer is for a limited time period, and the deadline will be strict.

Oh, and for a concluding note -

The Beast UK Ltd is One year old this month... Long live The Beast ; )

Hehe...

Thank you,
Julian

"With too many new features for one trade show clip, we continue our look at version two of Jazz Mutant Lemur and its touch screen controller editing software. As you can see, the new features make it even easy to do tons of crazy $#!%."
