Design-Your-Own Computer Case Kits

Posted by timothy on from the modular-squadular dept.

lord black writes "I was walking the aisles of the local Fry's and discovered a nifty computer-case-erector-set-thingy. Made by Aero Cool, the Lubic kit is basically a bunch of aluminum rails, acrylic panels (for mounting hardware to), and misc. screws to connect it all, for constructing a unique computer case. They have a gallery of example cases. BTW, Aero Cool also makes neat CPU coolers."

    For some odd reason I read that as a Lubric Kit for mounting hardware and screws :-/

    Took me a while to realize that they were talking of the other kind of hardware.

      I mean common, you mean you don't have a Lubric Erector Set yet?

      Didn't you get that memo? We've only been emailing you about it for 5 years.

    They have a gallery of example cases.

    You mean, "had a gallery!"

  4. Anyone notice this quote from the coolers site? by Trolling4Dollars · · Score: 3, Funny
    Suggestion from the manufacturer: use blow-blow direction will perform better than blow-suck.

    From my perspective, I don't know if there's really much difference between blow-blow and blow-suck. (Gawd I love out of context quotes!) ;P

    Now I had a quick look at the .us site and the first thing I thought was "Orac!".

    Wow, those chinese 404s (they are 404 errors, right?) look great with those multi-language fonts in OS X.

    Man, I've never been able not to understand something so clearly :)

    Man, are those cases UGLY. A giraffe case? Come on...

    Presonally, I'd like to see a case that looks like a Philco Predicta television.

    Oh, wait, this is Slashdot. Like those spermies are ever going to end up anywhere but a tissue anyway.....

    tissue?? Well ain't you dainty. I usually scream "TAKE THAT BITCH" as I fling my seeds at the wall.

    I'm suprised more slashdotters don't discuss really tuning their cars, it's such a geek/hacker type thing.

    How am I supposed to fit a car in my parents basement?
