Impressive Homemade Aluminum Cube Case

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the computers-don't-have-to-be-ugly dept.

baschie writes "A Belgian guy, Dennis Vieren, probably designed and built the most beautiful aluminium case ever, called project "Frozen". He designed his case from the ground up using CAD software, and built it from plates of 3mm aluminium and 3 mm acrylic glass. It cost him about 300/400 euro, and took him about 250 hours to build."

      I would, but now the stats page is slashdotted. Somewhere, some gremlin is laughing his/her fool head off over this one.

    I mean sure that thing is beautiful and all, but its also fucking gigantic.

    So why not utilise the extra space? Install some sort of refrigeration system -- very useful should you ever choose to overclock -- and turn it into the worlds first PC-case/Bar fridge.

    You think it's a thing of beauty now, imagine reaching into it and pulling out a brewski, without getting up from your Quake session!

    Awesome!

    :)

    I use this case at my job on Wall Street where I'm a derivatives trader. The case is both aesthetically pleasing and functional for my work.

    People already routinely pay 500% more than they need to for clothes (ck)

    Hrm... I might spend 500% more, but that means I'm 500% cooler than you!

    This is the second story in row that involves Belgium (the Jeremiah comic strip was created by a Belgian dude).

    Next time we'll go for a hat trick. Heute Slashdot, Morgen das Sonnensystem...
