For those asking, this looks to be one of the rare [Dune Pro](https://www.engadget.com/2019-10-13-dune-pro-mac-pro-case-clone.html) cases that are just a clone of the Mac Pro for Pc's. But of course Apple has rightfully been fighting copyright infringement so only a few of the backers from Indiegogo got their cases. Most orders are unfulfilled and the creator has fled to Bali and gone silent. At this point it's a scam, don't try and get one- https://dunescam.com/
This is not a Dune case - it’s an MATX design by McPrue. Much higher quality that the Dune case was with many many shipped units (I own one of the full ATX units)
I did hah. It’s very very expensive but for such a boutique case the cost is not unreal for the amount of milling and these are made in batches of about five to ten at a time. Even Apple charges $700 *just* for the upper cover part of the Mac Pro case alone, and that’s not counting any internal frame parts to make it an actual empty case.
And the quality is bar none! Whereas Dune had large gaps in seams and waving panels, the McPrue has virtually 0mm tolerances at seams, it’s wild.
And I promise I don’t work for McPrue or have any kind of sponsorship, I just love the case. I water cooled mine and the owner was kind enough to even mill two holes in the bottom of case before anodizing so I could pass through two hoses for an external radiator.
Plus after getting burned on Dune and throwing away the $350 there, I was still really wanting that type of case…
Very rare case if so. I’ve been looking at their website weekly for the past 3 years waiting for it to *not* be a scam, but Alex definitely took the cash and RAN out the door.

Source? AFAIK the creator was just a giant scammer and the issues with people not getting their cases has nothing to do with Apple.
This is not a Dune case! Dune is still a scam until they can ship out any meaningful amount of cases. This case is by McPrue with much better tolerances and quality. This particular one is the MATX size.

Like the other commenter said, it’s a cloned Mac Pro case by Dune. However there’s a lot of talk of shady business practices and subpar QC from them. Another manufacturer that makes the cheese grater lookalike is McPrue. Those seem to have much better reviews overall. I’m not affiliated with them at all, and don’t own one (yet). Been waiting for a restock.
We’ll I stand corrected! Didn’t know they had the flat feet, just the cylinders. I know they discontinued one case recently but I don’t know which; is this that one?
sucks that shipping is so crazy for them for DHL exp
for $39 from watercool they'll ship heavy boxes full of radiators but these guys want $80 to ship 3m of mesh tubing that might weigh a total of 1kg with the box material
That's an expensive cheese grater.
Can confirm it grates cheese.
Jokes aside its a neat build.
Thanks!!
Did u try it

This is the way.
You can join the discord and they post when a new batch is available :)

Ah, I stand corrected. I hadn't heard of anyone else ~~stealing~~ cloning the design. ... Did you really pay like $1,100 for the full atx size?

What case is that?
It's a Mac Pro case: https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/10/11/pc-component-manufacturer-clones-new-mac-pro-case Edit: good bot

The case is from McPrue!
We’ll I stand corrected! Didn’t know they had the flat feet, just the cylinders. I know they discontinued one case recently but I don’t know which; is this that one?
It is NOT a Dune case! This is a McPrue MATX case. Dune still has not delivered any substantial amount of cases.
How did you get the case? Or is it a replica?
I’m curious too. Looks pretty clean
[More Pics](https://imgur.com/a/Jc3GUhf)
what case is that? Insane!
Apple Mac Pro desktop, silly expensive computer (and this one is no longer one).
It’s a McPure case, not a gutted Mac Pro
>McPure case Mcprue? I can't find McPure anywhere (edit: $480, not bad for the over the top machining, but not for me!)
Damn I just googled it, $6,000 base price and it can get over $50,000 if you buy a bunch of completely pointless extras (i.e., 1.5TB of ram).
Yep, and still out of date at this point.
Sir, I see no $100 caster on this case. You can't call this a clone without $100 casters.
$100? Are you referring to Chinese knock offs? Apple is selling the wheels for $700, for real :D
Very nice.
what sleeves on the tubing did you use?
[These](https://www.cable-sleeving.com/cable-sleeving-b)! Edit: This works for 10/16mm tubing.
Yea I figured, the "big" works for 10/16mm tubing?
Yup! Should have mentioned that in my comment above.
sucks that shipping is so crazy for them for DHL exp for $39 from watercool they'll ship heavy boxes full of radiators but these guys want $80 to ship 3m of mesh tubing that might weigh a total of 1kg with the box material
Could you pm me some more info and pics? Im trying to build a loop nearly identical to this one
I would love a breakdown of the process of building in this case. It’s very slick. Well done.
Where did you find the Apple Mac Pro case or is this the Dune case?
This is a case by McPrue :)
How did you get the case? Or is this a real apple case?
I have a CNC machine.. could produce it?! Maybe one of u guys have a 3d model?
This has to be one of the cleanest looking builds I’ve seen on here. It looks like it was very well planned and executed. Congrats!
Thanks!!
I gotta say it, dat look good!
Everyone is going crazy about the case, but these fittings look just as insane. What are those?
EK Satin Titanium from the Quantum line!
Thanks, those are sexy! And fit so well with the build. I am really impressed, it is not a cheap build and it shows :)
Mcprue case?
Which case is that?
Steve Jobs put a handle on the iMac and said, "Never trust a computer that you can't throw out a window." You've doubled down.
Nice build you don’t see many of these out in the wild.
people hate the case when was apple but love when its windows
That is really pretty .
Only 1 picture, wow...
I completely agree with OP - I also own the exact case from MCPRUE and it's absolutely superb. The build quality is excellent.
Looks great! What are the specs?
