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."

    People already routinely pay 500% more than they need to for clothes (ck), home furnishings (Pottery Barn), even sporting goods just because of the brand name and for the chance to be fashionable. I can't see why computers should be any different. Pair this thing with a big flat-screen, a top-notch audio system and other similarly hip appointments, do some serious marketing, maybe brand it with known designer and I gaurantee you could sell these things for $5k each.

    what made you decide on 192.168.1.100?

      127.0.0.1 is a loopback address.

      192.168.1.100 is a private network address that won't route across the internet (unless you use multicasting, but then that's still not routed as a address, just works that way).

      If you want a small private network you need these addresses as the only machine you can talk to at 127.0.0.1 is the one you're on.

      Oh i realise that, its just the signature said hack 192.168.1.100 ...

      now for almost everyone this address wont exist (i mean i connect to 4 different networks and none of them use 192.168.1.x).

      so i was just wondering why 192.168.1.100.

      my reference to 127.0.0.1 was due to the fact that most people make the joke telling 31337 script kiddies to get root on 127.0.0.1.

    I'm impressed. I just spent the week modding my system to be silent. I replaced my fans with Panaflows, and run the three case fans at 5 volts, put an 80mm on the processor and replaced the PS fan with a panaflow. Everything stays cool and now all I hear is the drives spinning.

    I bet if OddTodd showed him how to establish a donation system, he could afford to replace the acrylic sheeting with some of that newfangled transparent aluminum. With enough support, he could build a Beowulf...
