Yea....
I usually like the clickies on the back....
But I need one at least one laser with a side clicky. Like pictured.
And this one looks nice with a side clicky.

There doesn't seem to be as much interest as I thought there would...
I'd need at least 25-50 definite orders before it would be cost effective for me to make some arctic clones.
I don't think I'd be up for making this "mini arctic" though. I've already seen the insides and outsides of a real arctic and I have all of the dimensions I need so I wouldn't have to put too much time in the design side of things. Making a host from scratch, especially one as detailed as that picture, is no small task.
I would redo the insides of the arctic though (there will be no need for a half pound of thermal compound for example!) I'd leave the saftey key off of the tail cap and probably delete the running lights since I don't want to mess with making the plastic covers.
Anyway, if someone want's to try and set something up send me a PM.
Oh, and for those of you who don't already know, here's a list of about half of the machines I get to use on a daily basis :na:

Well even still.... Id be up for a regular spyder host.... (no branding right?)
The lights aren't a big deal. Id rather not have them actually.
And no key is also good.
I feel like we could probably get over 25.... I thought there would be a higher demand also.... maybe we should post this in the group buy section... just as an "idea" for now.... and see how many we get. I just saw a topic in there about people trying to group buy "spyder" hosts from an ebay seller. But the seller fell through.
Do you have a rough estimate of the costs? Obviously the amount of users in the group buy would effect the cost... but just a guestimate?
Thanks

If we were to get 25-40 host orders as you said, what would be the price, Pontiac?

Yes, I would like to know this as well
If someone did decide to undertake this noble cause. It would be cool to maybe take the design a step further and make it focusable. I could be wrong, but I think allot of people on this forum would love to get there hands on said host.:anyone:

Because they try to fool consumers with eye candy, with the reality being that their products are complete pieces of shit.
I honestly don't even like their hosts and I'm not just saying that because I'm biased towards them. I'd take an Ehgemus host any day over wicked garbage.
