Exotic Wood Computer Cases
Alien54 writes "Exotic Wood Crafts has turned an aluminum case into a wood veneer case. For those who don't know, a veneer is a very thin layer of wood, in this case, pressed onto the panels of the case, maintaining the strong and stable characteristics of an aluminum case, while giving it a one of a kind wood finish. Lots of pics, some pretty nice looking stuff."
Exotic wood complete with exotic balls!
It would be even better if it was a "tab a into slot b" thing that could be easily taken apart and reassembled.
heh heh heh -- you said wood.
You'll want the chrome plated case that looks like a jet engine. To match the sound the innards make.
Their server appears to be made of wood.
Hahahahahahahaha!
Instead of going to the city dump, now you can turn your old PC into speakers.
Methinks their wooden server must really be burning pretty good about now... Smores anyone?
How's the bass? how much sake?

If a wood-case gets slashdotted on the web and nobody sees it, does it make a sound? ;-)
"PC Load Letter? What the $@#% does that mean?!"
Same here. Wood just makes me think of trailer park fake wooden panelling, cheap porn, and 1960s station wagons.
$600 for a case?
I'll stick with a dead badger to run my linux.
In my day, we made our CPU's out of crystals! Our motherboard was a clay tablet. And we hammered the gold into thin sheets, baked it in a dung-fired oven, and we LIKED it.

The station wagon of computers has arrived!

Did you ever notice that *nix doesn't even cover Linux?
A WITCH! BURN IT!
pft, i'm waiting for the endangered species line of computer cases... they are much more vogue. The bengal tiger case is to die for!
Think of all the times you've spent with your computer.
All the hours of internet surfing, emerging and gaming.
All the good times.
All the time looking at pr0n.
All these years your computer has given you the gift of wood.
Won't you do the same for it?
Luxury.
Back when I was a young'en, we didn't have any o' those fancy crystals, ovens or precious metals. We 'ad to make due with a bunch o' stones, manipulating the electrons by hand!
"If anyone needs me, I'm in the angry dome."
You might remember someone (once upon a time) thinking that wood veneer looked great on cars -- round about the time of National Lampoon.
;)
Your computer case will look "pretty nice" for all of about 5 days before some animal brought in for Dogs in the Office Day will mistake it for a tree and electrocute itself pissing on your computer.
'Thats they exact same thing a banana wrench monkey.'

I'd have a personalized plate on my car, but "toxic bachelor" won't fit into 7 letters.
The Special Bonding Method uses a proprietary process.
What? Proprietary process? Why don't they release their process under the GPL? I'm not going to support a company who uses closed-source case compilation techniques! Open source forever!

I can put a laminate on anything for less than $30 and the case you give as an "example" is ugly as all get out and NOTHING I would EVER want in my life. What the heck is that for style or craftsmanship???! Give me a break. If you think THAT piece of $10 junk laminate plastered on a metal case is worth the ridiculous price tag, you need to get a real world clue.
The craftsmanship of their webpage is also really horrible... come on, this is a high-end product, the sort of thing being sold to lawyers and CEOs. Funny thing is that most of them are capable of writing professionally. For the same reason that your resume and cover letter have to be perfect, so does your sales pitch!
This guy is almost as illiterate as a spammer.

Why a comma?
A NEW LINE OF MADRONE BURL WOOD LIAN-LI PC6070, Silent Aluminum Mid Tower Case.
I think sentences are supposed to have verbs and their requisite support words. My personal choice here would be "based on the", stuck between WOOD and LIAN-LI.
SHOW IN MADRONE BURL WOOD, THIS IS ON A ANTEC (P160) PLATFORM.
Antec begins with the letter A. Therefore, AN Antec. It gets tricky with acronyms, but to my knowledge Antec isn't an acronym, so this is simply wrong.

apostrophe S - POSSESSIVE
S - PLURAL
NEW COMPUTER CASE COVERS All or custom build computer case have a 2-3 week time frame.
What? I think the "or" is supposed to be an "our". But it still doesn't make sense, it's a run-on sentence.
IF YOU HAVE SEEN YOUR FILL OF, OFF-WHITE COMPUTER ITEMS.
Why would you put a comma in this sentence?
YOUR READY FOR A THE NEXT STEP IN ERGONOMIC COMPUTER FURNITURE.
Your = possessive.
You're = contraction of "you are".
EXOTIC WOOD CRAFTS HAS A KEEPER FOR YOU.
A keeper? The market is high-end, you can't use colloquialisms!
NOW YOU CAN HAVE THE SAME BURL WOOD ON YOUR COMPUTER CASE AND LCD MONITOR. THE COMPUTER CASE Computer Cases_used to be the last thing on everyone's shopping list, now something has changed._Case_modding has brought a resurgence in design and_case style. Now, it is possible to buy pre-modded cases_ and even all-aluminum casesfilled with blinking lights. In this situation, the_case_is designed to look professional, and be fully functional.
Why is this festooned with underscores? And there's a missing space.
But more horribly, he's changing the subject from the aluminum cases full of blinking lights to his own cases - without warning you! A casual reader will read that "all aluminum cases filled with blinking lights are designed to look professional"!
You still have the same old looking computer case. Here is your opportunity for change. Look at the Productspage to find what we have been looking for, a computer that maintains its beauty and represents personality and professionalism.
Professionalism from someone who uses the possessive to indicate pluralism? I think not.
Most computers go by the way side in 3to 5years.
How 'bout you add some spaces here, champ? I think wayside is actually one word, BTW.
Fortunately, these can be upgraded to use new computer parts in the ATX format. Exotic Wood Crafts_has a keeper for you!
Oh! That's what you mean by "keeper". Now I understand! Wait until after the description of why it's a keeper before you call it that - if you absolutely *must* call it that; otherwise your readers are left dangling.
