Lots!

Yeah thats dope that your getting some custom work done on the 2500 and hopefully it comes out good.

Everyone here knows that I think Forats work is way over priced and his paint jobs are alright/ mostly wack.

I cant wait to see the finished work though. 8)

yeah nothing crazy with the paint just a solid color and another color for knobs, sliders, end caps, etc. blue screen, black pads. No art work I like that factory look. Original machine print put back on in black. I'm emailing him my logo nothing huge.

I look at it like this....Im 28 no kids to feed, i broke up with my girl, my money goes to me now!!! Im free. I work my ass off to afford stupid purchases like this. I know everybody knows a better way to go about the customization cheaper. And I have heard everyones opinions on Forat. Still I had to give him a shot. I pissed away 3 hundred on parts, paying forat 800, and overnighted it to him with insurance for 190 lol...i didn't want my mpc in transit with ups for too long! And then due to my lack of patience I'll have it overnighted back to jersey for another 190. So im hit for like 1500 but like I said no kids to feed haha

Of course I am not hatin good shit I was about to do the same then my LCD went and Akai did not have any at that time. I finally just broke down and bought the 2500. I am waiting to see more custom cases before I do mines.

I will most likely buy a case and send it to him..

My quest tho why did you send the who MPC? is he painting the back of the case too?

I am interested in seeing it tho..

Again spend your money the way you want forget what we say :)

Not sure what sup with the double posting
