amazing PC.
She still looks rather boxy...
This is my unattainable love... :(

The computer is a functional item to me. How it looks is not relevant.
Its transportation factor should probably be.

Tell us again how you repeatedly failed to realize there was a lift near your computer repair shop, Mono? :P
Also, yes the computer is a functional item. So you should be into the case Toni posted, since it fulfills the function and cuts out the extra space taken up to make a full box. :contract:

Well, the lift was for goods transportation, sort of like a staff only lift :blush:

Except that this is Mono, and the case I mentioned costs a bit over $1k. :P
Though there are cheaper clones.

it's a pretty case :)
It looked to me to be inspired/ripped-off from this modular case idea (which never came to fruition itself):

But I think the modular computer case idea (vs. the generic box) is long overdue, and could be fantastic for user-friendliness, if done right. The limitation for true modular-ness, though, would be that most hardware manufacturers would have to get on board to make it come together/be compatible.
Just being able to easily plug/swap in-and-out the major hardware components seems like one of those ideas that are too good to ever really happen.

I'm not sure how he could put that space to use. :hmm:
How is a case like that supposed to be cooled?
I refuse to consider a case that costs US$1k. This is totally outside the purchase possibility curve.
I'm with mono.
When the on button on my case broke I spent a year turning my computer on by jumping the mother board. It worked just fine. I don't need no fancy pants case.

There's a world of difference between spending $1000 on a case, and having to jump your motherboard to strat your computer.

:wacko: After about two months of that, I would have gotten fed up and wired a replacement switch from RadioShack to the headers.
2 months?!
You guys are patient.
I would have fixed it the sameday.

That's my period of being amused at the novelty of a redneck fix.

I tried that, it didn't work...I later realised I had connected it to the wrong jumpers :blush:
But its not like I was doing it every day. I usually just leave my computer on hibernate.
