Korax Posted September 29, 2009 As long as it doesn't deploy a crawling perimeter wall that slowly takes over your desk, I think you'll be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Posted September 29, 2009 Honestly, that seems pretty rad. It's so compartmentalized, in a really visually intuitive way. Christ, $700 though. Bah. I had been thinking I really wanted one until I reached the end of the article. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miffy495 Posted September 29, 2009 Agreed with Chris. Goddamn that's a pretty case. I'm always dealing with way too much heat in my small living arrangements too, so the open air design is incredibly appealing to me. The only reason I can think of for the price is "BMW," but otherwise I'd be snapping one up myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted September 29, 2009 Pretty, but not timeless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted September 29, 2009 Beautiful... but probably not timeless as Nach pointed out. I reckon the price will go down after xmas when they realise nobody wants to pay that much and people want to get rid of stock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shakesbeard Posted September 29, 2009 Is it available in beige? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted September 29, 2009 The more I look at it, the more I think that right now it triggers monumental tech lust, but sometime in the next 5 years it will suddenly look incredibly tacky. Carving the box down to essentials like that, making the internal form of a PC into a nice external form, is a really nice idea. It comes across not as industrial design though, but more visual design, so it'll date like fashion :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They won't. I feel the same way about internal LEDs and case windows, but people still seem to love them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syntheticgerbil Posted September 29, 2009 Is it available in beige? Beige is way out man. Way out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel the same way about internal LEDs and case windows, but people still seem to love them. I don't see any functional use for those things though, they're purely cosmetic (and tacky). This seems like a genuinely useful case design, as long as it's actually a good case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cosmetically I think that the module for the Graphics card, etc should have been flat on the side in a similar fashion to the Optical drives and PSU. The thing itself as a good mass at over 21Kilograms too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The thing that has me excited about it (if I had the money to invest in such a hobby-ist project) would be the possibilities for modding this thing. It's so open-ended it's almost like an "open-source" PC case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
