Hey guys take a look at this website:

http://www.emachineshop.com/

You can design a part then they will machine it for you. This could be great for getting custom grills, or waterblocks!

Looks like a good place to get a complicated window design cut out,

yeh i guess, but that would be just perfect for getting some custom grills

i was looking at it and it seems pretty sweet, but.
there is one problem. unless you are ordering about 20 or more the pieces are EXPENSIVE, i priced a 2.5" square piece of copper that was about 1/8 th on an inch thick with a cutout im the center and for one it was something like $130 usd
but if you order more like 20 than the price was like $17 usd.
you need to order alot to cover the time they spend setting up the machine and just taking their time in the first place
but if someone wanted to make , oh lets say some custom waterblocks and they took orders from like 30 or 40 people then it would be a pretty good deal.
but it is still a good find none the less

lol, I saw the link and thought 'EMachine...isn't that the crappy, generic consumer PC company? How would that link be useful?'

Seems kinda pricey though.

I bet they dont have one shop with all that stuff, they probably have several different companies that they outsource stuff to.

From what i gather.... This guy is making a killing between the machine and the program.

The program probably feeds into a CNC machine. the programmer just loads teh stock. A local highschool could do the same for a couple bucks.
