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."

  1. The other ClearCase by leerpm · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Did any else misread that headline and think it was going to be a product review of Rational's ClearCase software products?

  2. RF Transparent, too by hirschma · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Funny that no one mentions that these things let out all emissions from the electronics, which is a Bad Thing. I'm sure that the manufacturers have the standard disclaimers about only using the cases for display purposes, wink, nod.

    The review even mentions a problem with one case's "EMI Shield". Um, no, that thing isn't stopping any EMI, sorry.

    So I'm sure that at least a few modder kiddies have had to stop using their case to stop messing with Mom and Dad's TV, wireless phone, 802.11b setup, etc (especially those running 2.4ghz processors).

    How about a case that has some kind of metal mesh embedded or sandwiched in the material, ala safety glass? It'd probably look better, too.

  3. EMF Shielding, what's that? by nweaver · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Looking at the photos, these cases don't have any good EMF shielding. Since the components inside tend to be pretty noisy on the EM spectrum, these cases could probably cause some pretty impressive interfearance on an old style TV nearby.
