Yea saw this; it looks rather versatile. Would also be happy to
contribute a share towards it - up to say, £40 works for me.

I recall before xmas there was maillist chatter about the space itself
also being a pledger in group-buy cases like these. That's not a bad
idea and lowers total share each pledger pays a little. Up to you o/c
Rob, but one course of action could be that you total up the pledging
folk at some point (inc 'the space' as a proposed pledger) and send an
email to ctte and pledgers with the share amount for them to approve.

I reckon we can easily print our own case (happy to help here if
needed) unless we can argue that the metal case has a strong enough
benefit to justify reaching to buy it alongside e.g. it also
dissipates heat, it's case labels help prevent it from being fried
etc.

Kind regards,
Ed
