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."
I just got two stories rejected yet this gets through? C'mon...come on...

I think there's little doubt that Dennis built the case.
Perhaps you meant "A Belgian guy, Dennis Vieren, designed and built what is probably the most beautiful aluminum case ever..."?
Sailing over the event horizon
by Nintendo for ripping off their next-generation Game Cube. Seriously, that thing does remind me of a Nintendo Gamecube. maybe it's the cutsey logo thing on the side... I'm not sure

looks a bit like a G4Mac...mere coincidence? nananana (lame attempt at twightlight zone theme song)
But I think we're all wondering: does it run Linux? If so, why? ..

All you motherfuckers are gonna pay. You are the ones who are the ball-lickers. We're gonna fuck your mothers while you watch and cry like little whiny bitches. Once we get to Hollywood and find those Miramax fucks who's making the movie, we're gonna make them eat our shit. Then shit out our shit, then eat their shit thats made up of our shit that we made 'em eat. And then all you mother fucks are next.
For all of you who are getting a 404 error, it's because he is blocking any requests from people browsing with IE (and possibly Netscape..) I used Opera and it worked just fine... This guy is made a damn nice case but he sure takes that whole Microsoft sucks thing a little too far.

I'm telling you: there's a huge market out there for designer computers.
Tell me why then did the Apple G4 Cube and many other designer computers fail miserably? Apple has said it will not try to resurrect the Cube in the future, and I think for a good reason.
I just don't see why the purchase of an expensive small non-upgradeable machine, like the one discussed in the article, would be a good decision for anyone. There are inexpensive mini towers if you want something small and they can be upgraded.
Computers were designed first and foremost for getting a job done, not to look good or be overly expensive. The same goes today. This explains why many of the designer computers are no more and the basic beige boxes will continue to be popular.

Doesn't count the $50 of labor
250*50 = $12,500
Is it included in the cost???
u expect computer geeks to spend a couple hundred bux more for better hardware and a stylish case design?
these are people that won't spend a couple bux more to take a shower.
these are people that think that style is d&d and a goatee.
no wonder they can't get chicks.
tap, tap, tap on the keyboard.
geeeeeeEEEEEEEEEKS
Wow, that schweete. I think I want to have sex with it...
