Homemade Hypercube Case

Posted by timothy on from the see-recursion dept.

blkmagic writes "I have to say this is probably the most amazing homemade case I've seen. The HyperCube^2 was inspired by Vincenzo Natali's first film, Cube. This is a long article, so here's a link to the gallery of images of the final product. I read about this on CubeOwner.com, a Cube site with a slightly different focus."

    I really don't see how you can say that from that angle. I mean alright, there's the cleavage, but what if she's horribly disfigured or something on the right side of her face?

    I was searching for an artical I read somewhere about a porn star that regularly features on some TGPs. She's got a club foot that she hides pretty well most of the time. Sadly, I've found more free porn and must go now...

    Do you think his domain (CubeOwner.com) should be pronounced "Cue Boner..." ?

    That case is amazing. I really wish I had the ability to work with aluminum that well.

    Everytime I try something like that, it is eligible for the trash bin.

    I knew he couldn't pull off this case design in 3 dimensions. 6 ... well that makes things easy!

    If I had 3 extra dimensions to hide all the duct tape and string in I'm sure I could make a pretty cool case too :)

    Ah! That's the secret...it DOES exist in 4D. You just can't see the other one. :))

    Seriously, isn't there a mathematical projection, i.e. a 3D "shadow" that a hypercube would cast if it existed that's pretty cool looking? I recall seeing a drawing long, long ago. Uh, I think the shadow is infinitly large so they only draw a segment, but it was neat anyway.

    If I remember the movie correctly, I think the blue screen of death has an entirely new meaning when using this case... I suspect upgrading to the newest specs may literally cost an arm and a leg. Possibly an eye as well.
