Aluminum Server Case Review

Posted by michael on from the space-age-materials dept.

Unex from Belgium :)" Or aluminum, which is the only proper spelling, of course. Are these cases actually worth the premium price? I may be having heat problems (for the first time) with our latest PC purchase, so I'm suddenly more interested in cooling...

    Can you imagine that baby burning? The scenario is something like this:

    John: Hey Sid? Wanna check out my new Athlon? It's overclocked something awful.

    Sid: Yeah, cool. What's that white fire in your room?

    John yells some incomprehensible syllables (mostly vowels), grabs the fishtank and runs to the fire

    Sid: Hey John! That might be a bad id...

    Boom

    Ah well... At least they don't make fire extinguishers out of aluminium...

    While aluminium is a metal with a silvery colour, aluminum is one with a silvery COLOR.

    It's a bastardization of the proper spelling. Or should that be bastardisation?

    "transister" was right in the first place. You see his sister is really his brother.

    I see even classic Slashdot is now pretty much unusable on dial up anymore.

    We just get sick of Marketing changing the product name every 6 months.
