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."

    Excellent first movie with a not-so-good sequel. The case is awesome, though. I'm still looking forward to Cube Zero. w00t for Canadian movies!

    I really think people going overboard with these types of things is cool however, i would really like to see some effort being put into very clean looking cases. Ones that really make people drool over the beauty that a computer can be. I know off the shelf computers that look like things other than computers exist, I just sometimes wonder why they aren't featured that often, especially when things like this are so opinionated it is hard to say what is worth noting and what is not.

    You're probably thinking of Kate. And "article".

    Am I the only one who thinks that case isn't, um, how to put this, worthy of its own /. article? For Crissakes, it's not even a proper hypercube! I know it's the holidays and everyone's all fat 'n' content, but can't you come up with better filler than this?

    OK, so you can't make a friggin' hypercube... But then don't call it that! Sheesh! And if you *must* use the name, can't you make it more interesting than just some white lights shining through plexiglass? How about some mirrors or something inside to at least mimic the illusion of having an actual tesseract case?

    Well, whatever; back to eating.

    Character development was weak in comparison? Well, maybe. But When you consider how crapulent the first movie was in this respect, it's probably not even worth making any kind of comparison.

    I saw the first Cube during the early arthouse circuit in 1997, and even sans any kind of underground "cult movie" hype it still sucked.

    But at least the inexplicable popularity of the movie answered one question for me: Who the hell were the people responsible for continuing the drawn-out death of the X-Files after it became obvious that There Was No Big Vision? The answer: Cube fans! Dress a turd up in enough psuedo(x) (replace x with "Science" or "Philosophy" or indeed "Dialogue" as you see fit) and you're bound to convince some people that you're a genius...

    Now, while we're here, I've got this religion I'm starting...
