the HTPC case looks good the mid tower is just horrible

Looks like some of the custom pc cases I saw ten tears ago in Japan. I have a genuine mahagony mouse I brought back.

I agree with most of the others. Stickers.. bad mmmkay.. It not being all wood looks ugly as hell, they could've just took a thin layer glued it on to the metal, and would've been better off then what they have here.

I like the Front face plate on the PC but the rest sucks

 

[CoryInJapan]

FOrgot to say that the TOP one is ugly as hell but the Bottum one almost has me sold.

Well for the mid-tower, assuming you wanted to put at least two devices in the 5 1/4 bays you could get rid of the two covers that have the stickers on them... And regardless it shouldn't be that hard to remove the stickers... But yeah, like everyone else I think it'd look better with the whole thing in bamboo instead of just the front. BTW, interesting scroll work on the front.

the HTPC case would go good with some living room decor.

the tower is fugly.. I esp. dislike the giant Steering Wheel on the side.

Also bamboo doesnt grow in 2ft diameter's ... there is no way to cut it out of one piece.. lol@some comments.

also matching grain on bamboo isnt really possible.

So, who is gonna keep the pandas from coming and eating my damn newly built i10?

 

[DookieDraws]

Oh, I bet Snoop Dogg is all over this. he'll probably have it accented in carpet! Go Snoooooooop!

 

[brendano257]

Different, nice in it's own way...but the stickers shouldn't be on the wood, it makes it worse XD

Is it suppose to go with the wood paneling in the basement and the shag carpet?...iieeeek it's the 70's. Why o why did they have to slap those silly stikers on?

 

[chunkymonster]

Bamboo...meh...

 

[chunkymonster]

I like bamboo, but bamboo cases are...meh...

If you're going to make it out of wood, why not Cherry or Mahogany?

Bamboo???? This is rubbish. Why even bother?

 

[leafman420]

Wasn't foxconn killing its employees last year? I'm not sure on that but i do think i remember something like that. ahh well, nice case needs to be all bamboo.

I reckon marble or granite would be great! It'd be an awesome anti-theft measure. I can just picture some thief trying to heft a grantie case.

[citation][nom]deadlockedworld[/nom]Why isnt the entire thing bamboo? Just the front looks dumb. If they could match the woodgrain and make it a uniform tone it would be a nice look.[/citation]
I agree totally. It kind reminds me of the old Atari game consoles.

Not only do you have to worry about getting a virus but now getting termites as well!

Wood has a higher R value and will not dissipate heat as well as aluminum or steel cases. Increased ventilation via more powerful fans would likely offset any green benefits by the added increase in power consumption.

 

[eccentric909]

I doubt the stickers come attached to the case, they are probably in the bag with the screws or manual. At least, that is how most of my cases have been, if they had stickers at all .. Usually the stickers come with components, instead of the case.

 

[silentbobdc]

Now if they could just make a decent 1156 socket we'd be set!

 

[scurvywombat]

I likw the HTPC one.
