DaveFason Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 The time has come! Storm cases have been milled and are all set for shipping. I will be shipping Feb 13th. I did have one snag with the pricing and will have to adjust the pre-order to $27.95. These will be powder coated black. Price will be $32.95 after Tuesday, 27th. If you would like one please post on here and I will PM. Photos!

Jackstone Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Will there be room for the new BlueFish controller? Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Will there be room for the new BlueFish controller? Why would you want to put a Bluefish controller in with a Storm? lol Link to comment
HM3105 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Out of curiosity, is there anything to keep water from getting in the case where the little knob is? Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Out of curiosity, is there anything to keep water from getting in the case where the little knob is? Yup. you keep it away from wet fingers coz wet fingers and lights do not mix. Link to comment
DaveFason Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Out of curiosity, is there anything to keep water from getting in the case where the little knob is? There is not. This is simply a much better made case than the standard Coralux issued. I wish a water proof case was something I could do but the design of the controller makes it impossible. -Dave Link to comment
Jackstone Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Why would you want to put a Bluefish controller in with a Storm? lol Lol, I guess it was a dumb question. I was thinking the Bluefish mini controller worked with the storm. Link to comment

First NB product ever! Yup. you keep it away from wet fingers coz wet fingers and lights do not mix. Since when? Link to comment

Out the side is such a design pain. Even make a couple unused pins on that pin out would work. Your box is superior by the way. Link to comment
blazerino Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 You need to talk him into moving the power plug socket to the bottom. Out the side is such a design pain. I was thinking this exact same thing just a few hours ago when I was trying to sort out where to mount my storm controller. I am going to go to radio shack tomorrow to see if I can find a 90 degree plug adapter. Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 You could also just desolder the barrel plug and connect your wire directly to the PCB. Link to comment

Blueshorts Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 My wife insists that we need this, who am I to question her She is wondering if we can choose to have it painted a custom color such as to match our light? Link to comment
blazerino Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Let us know what you find...... Let me know if you find one. Couldn't find one locally but this should work. Haven't tried it myself though. http://www.bixpower.com/CNT-LC52-p/cnt-lc52.htm Link to comment
