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!

    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 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 :)

    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?

  8. The only promblem with it. by gnovos · · Score: 3, Funny

    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.
