The Incredible Invisible Case
Brett Profitt writes "No, it's not entirely like the clear pc case, and it's much, much cooler than a simple windowed case, but it would still look great with a hard drive window. This, my friends, is The Invisible Case ! " Truly a labor of love. This may be the
nicest case I've ever seen. To bad you can't buy them like this! Check out
the details (Transparent rubber feet, fans, and hard drive window). It absorbs
envy beams from miles around.
There's always some crazy geek or other inventing an new computer case.
... wait
What will they come next with, an Ethernet switch on a teddy bear???
Oh
How is this not like the "clear PC" case?
If you want a really invisible case, just lay your mobo and parts out on a table. Then, your PC will be +5 cool.

The Emperor's New Clothes...Just tell everyone that you have a new machine that you modded with a clear case, clear components, and clear peripherals, and only smart people can see them :)

There's a mirror at http://127.0.0.1/../../../../../dev/null. Unfortunately the silver plating has worn off so the mirror is invisible..

There are no EMF emissions.
It's built with Transparent Aluminum...
Faraday to the rescue!
The incredible dissapearing website!

Where's the shielding?
Scary scenario:
1. Moron makes unshielded case because he thinks it looks cool.
2. Senator next door suddenly starts getting RF interference on his television.
3. FCC tracks it down to unshielded PC.
4. Senator introduces "Computer RF Protection Act" which bars the sale of computer components to the public.
5. Gateway, Dell, Compaq, HP, and Apple, seeing a way to kill off the screwdriver shops and hobbyist market, form "People Against Radio and Television Interference" (PARTI).
6. Microsoft, in its desire to sell a new Windows license each time someone wants a new PC, joins PARTI.
7. PARTI takes out millions of dollars worth of ads pretending to be a concerned citizens group who wants to "stop hackers from interfering with your television."
8. PARTI passes and the only ones who can get computer components are licensed manufacturers using them in FCC-approved computers.
Want to upgrade your RAM, hard drive, or CPU? Too bad. You will just have to buy a whole new computer, complete with Windows-du-jour, from one of the big manufacturers.
Think about that scenario next time you see a case built to show off about $500 worth of consumer-grade computer components.
I host this.
Firemen have been dispatched to Telehouse London to prevent this web server from burning down most of the UK internet as it's pair of P3's and pathetic little IDE disk UTTERLY FAIL to cope with the pure 30mbit/sec of joy that slashdotting creates.
