Wow... that looks really nice. I first looked into casemods a decade ago, and while I haven't kept up with it, he actually managed to make a mod I've never seen done before! Bravo!

That Mobo's no wallpaper. In Russia it's common to hang rugs on the walls.

They really tie the room together.

@avconsumer2: No wai. It needs blue lights on the trim, red lights on the fan blades, case badges, a windowed panel, fan speed dials, and coats of neon-green paint. At the minimum.

In reply to Asus Vento PC Cases Stack Thin and Fold Out
This is slightly off topic, but I feel that someone ought to say it:

"...the Vento design cuts down on shipping costs by 30%. That's great for the environment..."

Why does "it saves money" always have to turn into "it saves the environment"? The cost of business is rising, so Asus is adapting to it. It's called "efficiency", not "going green". And no one but Asus and a small minority of enviro-bloggers care.

At any rate, this is an impressive design. So long as it is as stable as a regular case, I'd be inclined to pick up one of these the next time I build a system. Nice work, Asus!

@The_Gas_Man: Those two potentially beneficial aspects often over-lap, who cares?

And taken generally as you did "...It's called "efficiency"..." implicitly indicates both concepts "it saves money" (self interest) and "it saves the environment" (not-purely-self interest). The shipping costs are less due to decreased packing space/weight, which makes shipping cheaper by using less space and fuel during transport.

The only way it could NOT be considered "going green" was if the manufacturer accidentally stumbled upon this benefit while actually trying to achieve some other unrelated result. If Asus claims they took enviro concerns into account in the design, then it IS "going green"; its the level to which this change would actually affect the environment that is still questionable.

Quit yer bitching, admitting to having concern about the environment doesn't affect your masculinity. ;P

Just the thing for people who disassemble and travel with their home computers on a daily basis, which is to say almost nobody.

@Eric 'Vote 4 Me' Alder: I'm sorry that you not seeing its usefulness negates the point of its existence entirely.

I'm sure glad you don't run things, that would suck.
