Build your own computer case with the Aerocool Dream Box

[cliffordcooley]

After playing with LEGO's as a kid for years, I can tell you I want nothing to do with them now.

Ever step on a lego bare footed? They are the devils toys.
You can get cheap ones at Goodwill Stores.

I'll see your lego case
and raise you a tinker toy bench-chassis!
utter stuff and non-sense it is... stuff and non-sense.

It reminds me when a local telecomunication authority came to my work and told me that this computer without the case panels is emitting some radio signals interferring radio reception in the area of 500m around the building, so I had to put the case panels on end everything was fine.
there is a reason why the case panels are still made of steel...

No, definitely an upturned plug is worse from one of those right angle plugs.

Although a steaming, or cold, pile of **** comes in a close 2nd.

The Aerocool Dream Box retails for $150

I hope they are selling this at entry level case pricing.

That would be a "no they are not". At $150 I would expect two cases.

Two cases? What kind of crapbox cases are you buying?

In this case (no pun) it doesn't matter what kind of crap box case I'm buying, you will be better off with anything. If you can't find a decent case for $70 you are not looking.

That's easily two cases. I purchased my Corsair Obsidian 750D for $72 and that's an upper tier case. Unless you're paying the baka premium that applies to very expensive computer cases, yes you can easily fit two good computer cases within $150.

And I'm just sitting here waiting for the day that all PC components plug into a case like NES cartridges. Why are we still using bare-bones design tech from the 80's with fully exposed circuit boards??

Probably because it makes enthusiasts feel smarter? *braces for impact*
No, but really though, dont tell me people would be nearly as impressed with the hobby if it were just cartridges, and thats part of the whole appeal to alot of people

Raspberry Pi anyone?

$150 for a Case erector set. NOT me. I build my own computer cases from the ground up myself. It is easier and way cheaper than getting this erector set. The funny part is that I can get everything I need to build my cases from either Lowe's or Home Depot.

I genuinely thought this had potential until I read 'add your own panels...' and the price. Also, not all mATX/ATX PSU's are the same size. A good use for this though would be a DIY rack server chassis or cage.

Actually more like three, were you patient enough to wait for a sale, and mail in the rebate forms.

Or a top-of-the range cube case and a good enough m'board to go with it.

Lego's at the Goodwill Store? ..... be back shortly!

 

[ajac63]

Just found old plastic Meccano set in the attic

 

[Uncle Al]
