Hah! I'd love to see this! I've seen/tried to make a papercraft one, but it's no good on a large scale.

I thought the push one sold out in a day? there's one on ebay selling for like, $200 >_<

The one that Valve was selling sold out in like a day, yeah. They sold another bunch not long after that (more expensive than the last one), but those sold out too. I'm not sure if they'll be selling more. People sell them on eBay every now and then, but they're rediculously priced.
There was a guy who was making aluminium WCCs, but only for his "close friends." They looked gorram cool, though. Can't seem to find the link. :wacko
Hopefully someone here would be able to do a run of 'em. I'm sure there'd be a lot of interest.

Here's the aluminium cubes: http://www.destructoid.com/screw-pl...-weighted-weighted-companion-cube-62076.phtml

I think I saw on www.gizmodo that someone made this into a mini ITC computer case and turned it into a functional computer with light up hearts.

Looks mighty cool. I'd love to make myself one of those.
I had the panel drawn up in 3d max, but haven't done anything else with it. I was going to vacuform the panel and do a run of kits, but lost interest.

It looks to me like the inner grid pattern is made up of 12" squares but with nothing to really scale it to it could be bigger.

I started a Yahoo Group if anyone wants a CAD file of the cube.

Some one please get me a picture of an in game image of the thing. I've got another friend that just finished the game and will not stop talking about it. My vacuum form table is 3 foot by 4 foot and I think that would make a great item to vacuum form.

Well I've been all over the net and it looks like from the scene where the cube is sitting next to the desk with the cake on it, if I had to guess it would be about 26" to 28" tall. Has anyone been able to nail down an exact size? If no one can find out I'm going to go with 26".

Here is what I have so far.
I imported it into AutoCAD and created a .dwg file I tried posting the file but it wouldn't work.
