Oddball PC Cases From Japan

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the please-stay-away-from-my-kids dept.

ascii writes "Japanese company Boxmaster Lupo is offering the PCBox: a foldable PC case made entirely out of cardboard?! I have no idea about the target group although I reckon it may appeal to some casemodders *grin*. Overclockers should watch out though! You wouldn't really want to turn your shiny new case into a pile of ashes just for those extra few fps in Q3 would you?" And Arab writes "They arent really case mods, as such. But a friend sent me this link to a guy's webpage who has made humanoid cases. there is a girl one, one that looks like a Gundam, and one looks like some kinda bizzare fish dragon thing. The site is in Japanese, so I have no idea what it is saying, although it looks like there are step-by-step intructions."

    So, when they ship you your cardboard PC box, do they... ship it in a cardboard box? Or just put a stamp on your PC box?

    Theres a fair bit of irony in creating a computer case that resembles a real female... where do you insert the floppy again?

    and I find it awkward enough lugging a normal case to a LAN party...

      Floppies? Man that shows age. All my media is very rigid, and bigger than 3.5 inches.
