Clear Case Roundup
The Cheat writes "Interested in making your computer the envy of all the other computers on the
block? What visitors to oooh and ahhh when they enter your room? The latest trend
in computer case solutions can do just that. AnandTech took a look at three clear
cases in a recent roundup,
each certain to make you more popular, right? Maybe not, but at least they look
cool."
scare any and all females from ever entering my bedroom again.
...that if you think these look cool; you needn't fear being 'popular'. ;)
(damn, did I forget my humor tags?)
What do you mean, "again"?

Almost all of our development machines use a Clear Case--it's definitely popular where I work. I told management that the difference was mostly just eye candy, and that Bitkeeper would do just fine (and be more scalable, at that). But, instead, they oooh'ed and aaah'ed over it, just like the slashdot posting said they would.
The money, the alcohol, the women, the secret enemy fortresses, oh wait, I'm thinking of James Bond...
;)
Any case modder I know doesn't really have a life, other than Lan Parties.
in girum imus nocte et consumimur igni
clear car hood
You know what this means? Now you have to clean whatever dirt a solid case/hood would have hidden... I guess this doesn't matter too much to people who buy new hardware every four months though...
boldly going forward, 'cause we can't find reverse
Yes, I stare at the inside of the computer from time to time.
It'd be so cool if there were transparant laptop case. Now, that's cool Better yet, transparant CD/DVD drive casing so that you can spot the laser. Imagine how cool it is to have that sort of laptop in the dark!!!!!!
Black Light, some lava lamp should be a must have!!!!!!

It's ASDFing to the Ultra!!!!!
I mean, the Mac portables are tres passe'.
I want something with lexan and neon and tubes and bubbles and shit.
Well that's kinda the point...
Think about it... do you want the type of people who want clear cases breeding? Sure, you could argue that they aren't likely to breed anyway, but this is just an extra precaution.
Black and grey are both shades of white.
I don't know much about the dangers of clear cases. During the time I've had mine, I grew a third arm. I look a little funny now, but at least I can peruse porn and still type URLs with both hands.
Us Alpha Nerds don't use cases. We just lay our motherboards down on cardboard pizza delivery boxes. Clear computer cases are for posers.
I can see that these would be cool---for someone who's never seen an iMac
Yep, and it will always be that way until someone(company) decides to pay someone to design a cool case instead of painting the box a different color and calling it 'edgy'.
What I want in a case?
Sound deadening material.
Britney Spears.
Handles.
Wheels.
The wheels are optional.
When was Dell ever the system to have ?
Are there any neat things you would like to see in a case?
I would love to see a giant wad of cash in my case. Then I'd use it to buy a laptop.
Just remember, 10 years from now your cool modded case with its dual Athlon 2600s is going to look like a funny piece of crap.
