How ugly!
It's like an inverted iMac Pro...there's some terrible product designer's out there. Just wow. It's just space inefficient, needs multiple cooling set-ups, ugly (subjectively).
It's nice to see a different take, but it's certainly not for me. They've really missed a few tricks with cooling too.
I think it's a neat idea actually; isolating GPU heat from CPU heat in an attractive (IMO) package. Pricing aside, the sticking point for me is (this we agree on) is that it will take up a lot of space compared with a normal tower. Though I guess if you've got the space for it, it's great.
I'd give the case a try last time I looked for one though they weren't available in the UK or Europe. I like the idea of separating the components to, at the moment if i'm playing a demanding game my msi gtx 970 pumps all its heat straight through my cpu's radiator which I guess actually warms the cpu up a fair amount.
"Each of the three steel blade casings weighs a hefty 5Kg unpopulated."
Is that right? That's the heaviest case I've ever seen. Not even considering how ugly and inefficient it is, I would not want a 20kg+ PC! Nice idea but back to the drawing board I think.
It's the same as a Silverstone Fortress FT02 (~15Kg). Fully built and because there are no good grip points my FT02 is hard to carry, good thing I don't move it often!
I actually like the look of this case, it's a good statement case for an exhibition or something - major downside is the footprint, it won't sit nicely by or on the end of a desk. Especially for an expansion limited ITX design it's huge.
My Antec Fusion runs two thermal zones using just some careful layout and a thin metal partition. That keeps the PSU & hard drives that want to be kept cool away from the CPU and GPU which can tolerate far higher temperatures.
Also, limiting to a single graphics card seems to rule out the serious gamers as well as people like me that want really quiet machines.
Just give me a scale model of an old Cray XMP for Mini ITX with room for a graphics card going up the middle and a fan at the top. Job done, old gits like me will buy them at least![]()
Fear of it falling over might be a better keyboard silencer than O-rings.in a 'Y' configuration, perched upon a single blade
Mini-ITX in a full tower footprint, with none of the advantages. No SLI. Semi-limited storage. Questionable cooling. Custom power supply (which is always a non-starter for me). I guess you can put a fin on top while in the 2blade configuration, paint it white and silver, and geek out on the Star Wars Tie-fighter case...
Saw a vid of this thing a while back, probably at a show or somesuch. Had red LED lighting, IIRC.
Looks funky and is a fancy mod/build/thing, but I doubt I'd ever own one.
Looks like Mitsubishi.
If you're going to slate a product, at least slate it for its actual problems, rather than ones you've imaginedOriginally Posted by The Article
I have to admit I really like the look of it, but it seriously falls down on practicality. Nice to see companies doing *something* different though, when things like http://hexus.net/tech/news/chassis/8...ternal-layout/ are touted as being innovative....![]()
I would love to watch someone put this build together...especially running all the cables through that center junction.
