Feedback:

“I love anything star Citizen and my fridge crate is great - it fits perfectly on my stream desk and is great at cooling and keeping my Guinness safe. The attention to detail is fantastic. Highly recommended.” - Rick Neal

“My Star Citizen PC crate is amazing and unique. JRDF were fantastic during the entire production process from concept through to delivery. Attention to detail is central to their processes from paint work right down to a custom made backplate for the my chosen motherboard.” - Bob McAndrew
