LOL That might be a bit too trendy for me. 😉 Bamboo is pretty versatile stuff though.

 

[ubernoobie]

ugly

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.

 

[JonathanDeane]

If they made the whole case out of bamboo would it be quieter? That would be interesting to me, and it would look cool enough to be in a home theater set up.

As it sits now I agree it would be cooler if it was totally bamboo.

The stickers ruin it. Also not being completely bamboo ruins it too. Nice concept but poor execution!

 

[IzzyCraft]

The bamboo would be quieter for 1 reason because its thicker then the thin metal but if you want a quiet machine just put rubber matting on the insides of your case etc.

Reminds me of those station wagons with the faux-wood paneling on the sides. Uuuuugly.

 

[vabeachboy0]

that looks cheesy

 

[Deadfred]

Why?

 

[xaira]

the second one id the most beautiful thing ive ever seen, always wanted a woodgrain colored case

 

[WheelsOfConfusion]

The bamboo-on-black is eh, but then they had to muck up even that by going the extry tacky route and slathering it with self-promoting stickers.

Agreed. If they wanted to use bamboo then they should've just made it all bamboo.

What's next? marble? granite? Brick and mortar?

 

[liquidsnake718]

It should b the whole outer layer of the unit... otherwise it looks too tackey....

 

[tipoo]

Why are the sides still black plastic? Thats sorta lame.


Looking forward to a hemp PC.

The decals make it look worse than it already is.

 

[HVDynamo]

It looks decent, but thats one of those designs that stickers of any kind just completely ruin the look of it.

You want to emphasize each pieces unique grain. I do agree that I would want a full case done in it. Just the front panel looks tacky.

The HTPC case actually looks pretty nice... and the mid tower wouldn't be so bad if it was a uniform color, or one solid piece that had been cut.
I'd buy a bamboo-front HTPC case if it fit my decor.

 

[tacoslave]

My pc case is made out of maple but then again i'm a carpenter so i don't use bamboo...

 

[bipolargraph]

If you plan on heavy overclocking in that get a fire extinguisher. 😛

 

[B16CXHatch]

I first read that thinking it was gonna be stupid looking. Now I want one.
