Cooler Cases

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the quest-continues dept.

xopher found a site that actually has some pretty cool looking cases. Some of the models are pretty sweet. If you can't afford one of those new SGI boxes, join the club. But you could consider one of these, although they don't have prices listed.

  1. Intel Concept PCs by Tumbleweed · · Score: 2

    There will be some *really* neat things possible once we start using PC99 or PC2000 spec machines. Get rid of the serial, parallel, PS/2 ports, and ISA slots, and things can get real tiny. Check out the Intel Concept PCs at http://www.intel.com/p ressroom/archive/backgrnd/cn111598.htm!

  2. Apple El'Capitan Case still best out there.. by Pretender+R*S · · Score: 2

    I want one of those new apple cases for my PC!
    (no M$ ever, no Intel AMD & VIA)

    I hate scraping my knuckles on the poorly built
    Aztec and Enlight cases. I want a cases that
    gives me easy access to my MB, while it is running.
    Apple G3 case is entirely usable. I like haveing a few more colors in my workspace, sure it will be tacky in 3 years but so will my computer.

    Easy access, The Handles I like as they prevent it
    from actually resting on the floor, for those occasional spills. Being able to open while running is way cool! Sure it runs a little cooler when you run with no case, but you dust death rate goes way up....

    Now Apple needs to offer the case without the logo... and with holes for ATX form factor. Then I could have a decent PC case.

  4. You mean you have a case? by jonbrewer · · Score: 2

    your cpu and motherboard will stay cooler if you keep the case on. it has to do with how your fan works in an enclosed area as opposed to how it works in an open area.

    If you have a fan six inches away from your CPU in open air, some of that air will get to your cpu. If you have a pipe (or any enclosed area) between your fan and your cpu, all of that air will get to your cpu.

    The more air your CPU gets, the cooler it will be. Even if the air inside the case is a few degrees warmer than the air in your room.

    CPUs run better when they are cool, so put the case back on your machine. ;-)
