3XS Isotope - 11 Sided Gamer's Computer 150
Kez writes "For those who want to show off, then a undecagonal-faced prism case might be worth consideration. Scan's 3XS Isotope is certainly a very unusual system. It takes micro-ATX motherboards, so you can still use high end hardware in it. Perhaps the perfect LAN party system? HEXUS.net has a review, pointing out that this is the sort of system you will either love or hate."

It's an AMD64-3700 w/a Radeon 9700
The summary has it right. (Score:5, Informative)
It said undecagonal prism. The article, however, says "(the shape's called a undecahedron, in case you were wondering)" That is wrong.
Polygon = 2D. Undecagon is an 11-sided two-dimensional geometric object. Three-dimensional object enclosed by generalized cylinder and two congruent polygon is called a prism. So Undecagonal prism is the accurate description of the case.
Polyhedron = 3D. Undecahedron is an 11-sided three-dimensional object. This has 13 sides. (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Polyhedron.html) mathworld lists no name canonical name for 13 sided polyhedron.
But your point was that the computer's case as a polyhedron has 13 sides not 11. You are also right.

Um...I thought the whole 'allure' of stupi...er, I mean, custom looking cases was that they're unique and YOU built it. You know, instead of having that dull grey case that everyone else has, you have a case with neon and cutouts and 50 fans. Just like everyone else, but at least YOU botched the installation and didn't get it quite square and so on, so it's still...uh...unique.
So how is this supposed to be alluring? Next year, everyone's going to have one of these things.
