The Dune Pro PC case has not only lifted the design of the Mac Pro's version, but also the presentation of the case itself, something which could call the attention of Apple's legal team.
  • To top it off, the Apple logo has been cut out and perfectly lines up with your machine for an elegant look. You also get a keyboard cover to match with the cover. The KEC Mac Pro 15.4 inch case cover is really slim and lightweight and will not inconvenience you when carrying your laptop around.
  • But if you, like me, dream of having a Mac Pro at your desk at a potentially cheaper price, PC casemaker Dune is launching a Kickstarter for the Dune Pro, a Mac Pro-like PC case.
  • ProCase is a popular brand that manufactures high-quality cases for MacBook Pro. This case is extremely thin and lightweight to enhance the beauty of your 13-inch MacBook Pro. A downside of this case is that it doesn’t showcase the Apple logo as this case lacks logo cut-out design.

Mac Vs Pc Pros And Cons

The Dune Pro PC case looks undeniably like that of the Mac Pro. It boasts a nearly identical stainless steel frame, similar ventilation holes, two USB-C Ports at the top of the case, and it's made out of the same soft-finish aluminum.

While the holes on the default case don't look identical to that of the Mac Pro, Dune is selling a 'sound dampening accessory' that looks more than a bit derivative.

It doesn't seem to feature the same entry method as the Mac Pro, though. The Mac Pro has a semi-circular handle between the handles of the stainless steel frame.
This handle can be lifted up and twisted a quarter turn, and used to raise the external casing up and off the Mac Pro. As for the Dune Case, it looks like you'll have to pop off the sides if you plan on getting to the internals.

Along with the tubular frame with handles and the flat feet, the case also features two USB 3.1 Type C ports on the top surface, albeit not in the same location as Apple's pair of ports. For the inside, while the Dune does not include support for the MPX Modules the Mac Pro uses, it does try to ape its thermal management credentials in its marketing, with Dune claiming the airflow will travel through from one end of the case to the other.

Additionally, the Dune Pro website seems to have lifted quite a bit of the Mac Pro's presentation as well. Their website is a sleek, gray-on-white presentation the case that feels very familiar, down to the image choices.
There is also an attempt to copy Apple's performance graph for components, but as the Dune case is just a case with no other PC parts included, it does so by claiming there's ample room for different types of high-performance processors, then includes a graph comparing their benchmark scores.

It's yet to be seen if Apple will have anything to say about the obvious copycat, though we wouldn't be surprised if Dune got handed a cease and desist. The Dune Case is set to launch its Kickstarter on October 21st.
This is not the only attempt Dune has made to copy the designs of Apple's Mac Pro cases. An earlier case was heavily inspired by the cylindrical Mac Pro, one that could accept a mini ITX motherboard.

What you need to know

  • The Dune Pro PC case is trying to be a Mac Pro.
  • It even has an accessory with a latticed front panel.
  • It looks great. But no pricing is available.

It's funny how some people seemed to hate the new Mac Pro design, yet there's already a PC case in the works that looks just like it. The Dune Pro PC case is an attempt at making a case that looks like the new Mac Pro, but without all the Mac Pro gubbins inside. That's at least moderately cool, right?

Snark aside, I think this looks pretty nice, but then again I'm a fan of the Mac Pro so that makes sense. The case has all the right holes and spaces for all of the standard PC components that go into building such thing, too. Motherboards, PCIE cards, drives. All that stuff. And it has two USB-C ports on the top of the case, too.

But this isn't a Mac Pro, obviously. And if you want the full-on Mac Pro look – as The Verge points out – you'll need to pick up Dune's patent pending noise dapnening accessory. It fits on the front of the case and really is needed to complete the latticed Mac Pro look.

It all looks pretty cool, but you'll need to deal with Kickstarter to get your hands on one. It'll apparently hit the site on October 21st, but you can get more details about the case on Dune's website if you're so inclined.

Dune says that it believes 'the power to choose is not just for the pros, it's for everyone. No matter who you are, Dune Pro is a PC case that gives you limitless ways to personalize for your needs.' We'll have to take the company at its word, but with no pricing available yet we'll have to see just how many people will be priced out of this thing. We've a sneaky suspicion it isn't going to be cheap.
