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.

  1. How serious is RF interference, anyway? by steveha · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I like putting computers together. I always try to keep the RF shielding intact. This computer has no RF shielding at all.

    How much of a problem is that, anyway? If his next-door-neighbor is an amateur radio enthusiast, will the clear computer mess up the airwaves? If he wants to watch TV, will the computer ruin the picture? Can he stop pacemakers at 50 yards or something?

    I don't have any clear idea how serious the emissions from computer hardware really are.

  2. My new (?) idea of /. mirroring by Shiny+Metal+S. · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Every time someone posts intelligently regarding Slashdot implementing some sort of mirror system, it always gets modded up.
    Here's what I would suggest to do, this solution would address every /. concern:

    I got email, saying that link to my site (http://site/) is going to be posted on Slashdot in half an hour. For the time of slashdotting I add this to my httpd.conf:

    Redirect /img/ http://slashdot.org/cache.pl?url=http://site/img/

    so when someone wants http://site/img/image10.jpeg, she/he would be 302 redirected to http://slashdot.org/cache.pl?url=http://site/img/i mage10.jpeg and would got this image from Slashdot cache. I could even set it up so only queries with http://slashdot.org/* Referrer header would be redirected, or alternatively, someone could just change the URIs in <a href="..."> links in the HTML if the webmaster don't have access to webserver config. But the point is that this way the cache would be served only for explicit wish of the webmaster and also only for those images which are not the ads, banners, counters, etc. if the webmaster wants so.

    It could be also used for HTML but the large images are probably the main reason of killing banwidth on sites, like in this story, with many high quality pictures of cool hardware (I suppose that there are many high quality pictures of cool hardware but I can't access it). The cache could work for, say, 6 hours and would serve only files in subdirectories of linked URIs to avoid any abuse.

    What do you think?
