New Generation of Cases? 412
mikeb55121 writes "In my never ending quest to build a bigger and better computer i have come across this new design of computer case that is prety intresting to me and possibly any one else out there who build their own computers. This case is very unique because it is shaped as a "T" and the manufacture says that it ends cable clutter and has very good airflow." The aesthetics aren't bad, and the concept is solid. It'll be interesting to see if this catches on. I kind of doubt it.

They will not fit into the "case" compartment of most PC benches, if thats the kind you have.
Good idea, but Im pretty sure theyre a passing fad since the dimensions are so inefficient.

Some similar ideas I remember from my experience also with Compaq and IBM.

Go to google and search for "quiet PC" or click here [google.com].
There are plenty of cases/fans/and everything else out there to silence a PC. You just have to look.

on the beige G3 towers the IDE cables weren't long enough to get to the lower bays, and running/replacing IDE cables was a complete bitch and a half - and this case didn't have the motherboard on a door, just the door and power supply easily folded out. the second major problem w/ the case was that you had to unplug stuff to open it. So youd pop in that new component, test it, and then have to shut down so you could unplug the power again and close the case back up

The fans are necessary BECAUSE air is an insulator. Your processor has a heatsink in order to conduct the heat to the air, which will absorb it. The fan blows the hot air away from the heatsink so that it will keep working. If air were a conductor, you wouldn't need a fan, because the heat would be conducted through the air.
Air isn't an electrical conductor either. Lightning is not only not a "relatively low voltage", it's a fucking astronomical voltage. It jumps through the air because it's got enough energy to power your house for a month. Thunder, man! Air is not a conductor, that means it heats up resisting the current, causing it to expand explosively in an audible shockwave. Lightning only happens because air is an insulator seperating the clouds and the ground, which are both way better conductors than the air.
High School physics man. Try and retain your education a little. This is why people think the highest point on earth is Pluto.
