Homemade Hypercube Case
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!
The site's still pretty responsive, but I still coralized all of the pages before it came out of TMF.
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..." ?
I have been a user for about 10 years. This ends Feb 2014. The site's been ruined. I'm off. Dice, FU
Everytime I try something like that, it is eligible for the trash bin.

As usual the coral link is worse than the site.

got sig?
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.

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.
Cloned foods give the statement "We had that last week!" a whole new meaning.
I went to the site expecting to see a computer case built in the shape of a tesseract. Damn!
Hey! Am I the first person to wonder why Slashdot doesn't cache the stuff they link to, so that when it gets killed we can still see it? Gee, it would take someone 2 or 3 minutes to do it on a big site, 15 seconds on a single page thing. I mean, /. regularly busts people's bandwith allocation, all the while making money off the ads on the page that everyone links from. Doesn't anyone there (at /.) think it would be nice to at least spring for a $100 hard drive and cache the pages for a few days? Lots of times some reader does it knowing the site will get put offline, but why should it be up to good hearted readers? Why doesn't OSTG do it? Would that kill them? Should we take up a collection? Or am I all wet?
Sig not available, please try again later. If the problem persists, then the submitter is an idiot.
It's all about function and substance, not form.
Chrome don't get ya home.
Should be a little quicker now :) Traffic out of the img box has just doubled since i changed Apache's conf :P
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?
My $0.02...
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...
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.
