Subtle case mods/Hidden wiring (Score:5, Interesting)
The objective behind auto hidden wiring projects is to have as little or no wiring, cabling, tubing or piping visible. When you get inside the car or look under the hood you see JUST the engine, and nothing else. It looks empty and oversimplistic. Often needing some awesome innovation in just moving parts about.
I'd like to see more of the same in case design. Seeing an open case with edges smoothed, and a motherboard just sitting there with barely a cable or lead running off haphazardly to a bunch of drivers powered by more power leads just thrown about. Having those cables routed impeccably tidily looks stunning.
I've been working on one for a few months after thinking the idea over. It's slow going, I don't have the time to get it done quickly, but it should look quite stunning when it's finished.

Does anyone know whether those small mini-itx or via epia boards are any good for clustering? Can i build a linux cluster out of them? It sounds like that could be fun, especially that they're pretty small, inexpensive, consume very little energy, and are quiet.
does anyone have any links about that?

I do like the brushed aluminum cases; they are nice looking boxes and disperse heat more effeciently. I have a nice looking CoolerMaster case for my main workstation, it's all aluminum, easy to work with, and has a green plexiglass door in the front.
That's about as far as I like to go with case styles.
