Really Stylish PCs and Peripherals

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the style-matters dept.

knipknap writes "With Christmas lying ahead I decided it was time to present myself new PC hardware. Of course, nothing can be good enough for my Linux box, so I ran looking for some really nice cases - but was soon disappointed by the very little options available when it comes to stylish cases. There is the very nice Hoojum Nanode, which is for Nano-ITX boards only, while I was looking for more powerful alternatives. Then there was the Cubit P4, also from Hoojum, which seemed to suit my needs. I ordered one via mini-itx.com, but unfortunately they messed up the order and noticed only after it was already sold out... so there went my last option. I was also recommended Hush (I already own one) and Shuttle, both of which I found looking kind of cheap. Another problem seems to be finding good peripherals - I have not found a single higher quality mouse and keyboard outside the plastic computer world. So I decided to ask Slashdotters - which other options are there available?" Personally I love the Hush box.

    Apparently they don't teach you how to spell, though.

    thanks for the info, I live within 8 miles of ClearPC's retail outlet. As a proud Canadian I hate to see anybody here take advantage of americans or anybody else. I'll be making a late night visit there very soon with a brick (note attached) as a payback for their incompetancy.

    It looks delicious (and this by the same company).

    Try using things like capitalization, pronouns, and verbs. This is not IRC, k1dd13.

    That's because on Macs, the spell-checking software actually works.

    Now that I've got some sleep, I have remembered that they are made of Magnesium. Not the kind of thing you want to oxy-cut.

    It looks like you've modded your enter key to the point where it no longer works.
