New Generation of Cases?
mikeb55121 writes "In my never ending quest to build a bigger and better computer i have come across this new design of computer case that is prety intresting to me and possibly any one else out there who build their own computers. This case is very unique because it is shaped as a "T" and the manufacture says that it ends cable clutter and has very good airflow." The aesthetics aren't bad, and the concept is solid. It'll be interesting to see if this catches on. I kind of doubt it.
Man, what a whiner, did you stop and at least take a break on that long long trek?
Ignore the "p2p is theft" trolls, they're just uninformed
"The truth is, however, that unless the hot components are in direct contact with the aluminum, the air will act as a thermal insulator"
Forgive me if I'm missing something here, but the entire case is aluminum (Lian Li PC-68), inside and out. Everything is connected to part of that case and thus to the aluminum. It also has three fans plus the one on the power supply. Now you're going to tell me fans are a misconception too?
"the fact that air is one of the best thermal insulators out there"
Say what? Air is an electrical insulator, and only to relatively low voltages. Vide, e.g., lightning. It is most assuredly not a thermal insulator. Put your hand near a cold window in Winter and see how much insulation you get.
And the main point was, in case you missed it, that the computer was too heavy.
