I've always wondered how hard it would be to take a DMG casing, make a mold and then cast it out of aluminium or something. I might give it a try some day, I've done work like that on smaller items. Wonder how well or poorly that would work.

I actually feel worse now that I realize that's not fake. Was Paris Hilton even alive in 1989?

I imagine that making a mold of the external looks of a DMG wouldn't be too difficult. The problem is the inside and making two pieces that can fit together. I'm also not too sure that you can cast aluminum with such precision without professional equipment.

it would be a injection mold and cold casting, ie: grinded up aluminum flakes and epoxy. I would imagine you dont need to injection mold or a 2 part mold if you put on the screw pegs and shit after the fact.

Ive been wondering this myself. Its only a matter of time before nostalgia hits some injection molding expert and we get custom cases out of whatever.
