3XS Isotope - 11 Sided Gamer's Computer

Posted by Zonk on from the one-more-side-and-you-could-roll-barbarian-hit-points dept.

Kez writes "For those who want to show off, then a undecagonal-faced prism case might be worth consideration. Scan's 3XS Isotope is certainly a very unusual system. It takes micro-ATX motherboards, so you can still use high end hardware in it. Perhaps the perfect LAN party system? HEXUS.net has a review, pointing out that this is the sort of system you will either love or hate."

    my six year old would think this was pretty cool, but I certainly wouldn't want this beast in the living area. What's next, a one sided computer? "Why carry your computer to a LAN party when you can roll it there."

      Everyone turns to slashdot, including my self, to look for new innovations and ideas.

      I lost this hope ages ago!

      For the overclocked CPUs, store the liquid coolant in a Klein bottle... and use Moebius cables to connect all the components.

      That would be so r4d d00d!

      You ignoramus! While stupid academics and gamers use their simple 1 hypercube shaped case, I use four simultaneous time cube shaped cases!

      You must admit their superiority!

    I'm really underwhelmed by that. I thought the entire case would be shaped like a three dimensional geometric figure.

    How many Slashdotters would buy a computer case shaped like a D20? That's where the real market is. It might be a little expensive to throw around the room, so maybe you'd just want to stick with normal dice.

    If your goal is to kick your competitors computers to see how far they roll.

    I think it's simply for the "I want a really cool looking custom PC, but don't want to risk losing digits to my dremel" crowd.

    Plus for the hardcore, "I ate pizza all night", bathroom breaks.. you can take the game with you D:

    So "taking the game with you" is what they use for an excuse these day to go into a bathroom with a computer.
