Impressive Homemade Aluminum Cube Case

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."

Or maybe the original poster is from Britain, where they sometimes actually spell it "aluminium". Before I post, let me double check...

From dictionary.com:

aluminium
n. Chiefly British

Although, after seeing a few posts here, he could have just misspelled it...;)

try this link more pics, god it's sexy!

Wtf are you talking about? Did you even go to the link and click around their are clear cases, aluminium cases, and suitcase cases all built by hand.

This page has a case made entirely out of legos.

This page has a custom plastic case porsche-like with a spoiler.

I know the difference between a modded case and a custom case. I just wish people would frigging take more than 2 seconds at a link before raving like lunatics.

Speaking of cubes

Those "neat" logo cut-outs on the side are like garage doors for EMI radiation.


That'd be a high frequency EM wave that can fit through what looks to be gap of about 1cm. About 30 GHz, actually, which puts it into the microwave range. If your PC is emitting in the microwave range, something's probably wrong in the first place. Plus, it's not going to interfere with much.

Try this URL...

The whole site seems to redirect to this page:
http://case.1be.be

I'm not quite clear what he is doing. I think it might be trying to send back a permanent page redirect, and IE does not like it.

Although at one point I turned off friendly http error display on IE and then the site came right up. Next time I tried that, it said it was redirecting to 216.74.64.37/casemod which doesn't seem to respond.

To use Occam's Razor, "Never attribute to malice what can be adequatedly explained by stupidity." I don't think this was intentional, the whole configuration of that web server is just whacked.

That being said, that case is cool! I wouldn't mind something like that at home. :)

Well, hell, I posted this as an AC, but wtf, a score of 0? Craptacular.

Dennis Vieren has moved the pictures of the case to: http://case.1be.be/.

Go forth and /., as the moron hasn't fixed the size issues.

Uh. VW Buses don't have radiators. Nor do Bugs. Nor do Ghias. Nor to Fastbacks, Squarebacks, Notchbacks, Things, Super Beetles, Type 4s, Schwimmenwagens, or Kubelwagens.

And in case it comes up, nor do older Porsches (356s, 914s, older 911s, etc).

Guess again. The CE mark has absolutely nothing to do with the FCC.

The FCC is an independent United States government agency that is is charged with regulating interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable.

The CE mark is used the by the European Commission as a "passport" which can allow a manufacturer to freely circulate their products within the European marketplace
