Cool Case

A reader writes "I thought this may be a good read for many of the Slashdot readers. Here is a review of what seems like a great Lan Party Case. It's light, sturdy, and more importantly has two giant sized blow holes, for all you hardware fanatics and overclockers out there."

Two blow holes--The Ultimate Party Case

You can frag your opponent at high frame rates and use it as a bong.

But let's put that aside for a minute here. Why do you need this kind of case? The free market is a wonderful thing for scientific innovation, but this is the sort of thing that makes me think back to that old notion in Marx that a capitalist economy tends to produce unnecessary stuff, waste, and duplicate efforts.

Those communists are just jealous that they never came up with the amazing innovations we did, like beer helmets, pet rocks, pez dispensers, and sourceless operating systems...

I saw the case,

I said Yay,

I clicked,

I waited for the Chick Hardware page to load for ten minutes while I made my coffee.

Oh, good lord, you people have slashdotted their site.

You can customize a case and make it lots cooler, quieter and cheaper than the flashy case spotlighted here. You eliminate waste and learn something while you work on this intimate level with your machine.

I am all for convenience, but let's see if we can't find some of the more extraneous technology being peddled out there by perfectly intelligeng people and steer them into some really crucial research.

I am currently of the mind that some really useful work would be the development of a battery that can store lots of power for a long period of time, hence reducing the immediate power demand and enabling us to capture massive amounts of solar energy for use in dim places and at night.

Perhaps we could school a few less marketroids and a few more engineers, too. There's another example of waste.

Some of the features:

Power button on top to prevent accidental power offs

clever indeed, but with my power button on front box, I've never had such a problem... has anyone? I like to pile things on top of my case... I'd imagine that would result in more power-offs for me.

Completely rounded edges for safety

In related news, today, an unidentified man was mutilated beyond recognition when he suffered a horrible accident with the edges of his PC case. The accident could have been avoided, officials say, if the edges had been rounded.
