New Home for Raspberry Pi

Posted on by

Now that the insanely small Raspberry Pi single-board computer is everywhere, so are a number of accessories that showcase the design. Here, the microcomp becomes an integral part of a pencil holder and therefore the desk! Called Desky Deak, it keeps the lil guy protected and accessible while showcasing its mini size.

We’ve seen some cool case mods before, and even some cool Star Wars-based case mods, but this R2-D2 computer case might be the best one we’ve seen yet.

This one was built by Podpadstudios in Wiltshire, U.K. You have to see it in action to believe it (No sound):

It does everything ...

Lian Li Engineers Train PC Case: The Choo Choo Computer

Posted on by

I think this is one of the strangest off-the-shelf computer cases I’ve ever seen. Lian Li has announced the launch of a odd little computer case that resembles an old-fashioned train. The case comes in two versions, and one version of the case can even move on its track.

The case is designed to hold mini-ITX motherboards and has three slots for 2.5-inch hard drives. The case also has a pair of USB 3.0 ports on the side and ships with an integrated 300 W 80 Plus certified power supply. The CK101 case measures 185 mm wide by 258 mm high by 515 mm deep and is made from aluminum.

The train case has a single external slim optical drive bay and has a single 120 mm rear fan. The Lian Li CK101 Standard PC case, which doesn’t move, will sell for $229(USD). The CK101 Premium version that does move back and forth in its tracks will sell for $379.

The Lian Li PC-CK101 Train case will be available at the end of September.


Green Mesh PC Case Lets It All Hang Out

Posted on by

You don’t have to be a PC modder or enthusiast to know just how much dust and dirt can accumulate inside a computer case, despite how tightly closed the case might seem. So it’s easy to dismiss this PC case by a company called YoungYear as being built on troll physics, but the company insists its design will work.

Called the Green Mesh, the case is filled with more holes than a Transformers movie script. So how will it prevent dust from invading its guts? YoungYear says that the hot air produced by the components will carry the dust up and out of the case. The company even claims that it will have 3 to 4 times less dust than a normal PC case. Although considering just how dirty these things can become, 3 to 4 times less may still be quite dirty. At least it’ll be easier to clean.

The Green Mesh should go on sale 2 to 3 months from now, but if you’re planning on using it to build a heavyweight PC, tough luck. The Green Mesh doesn’t have a fan and instead uses the mesh to conduct heat outwards. It can only dissipate so much though, so as a consequence YoungYear doesn’t recommend installing a power supply with an output higher than 300W. Otherwise you’ll have a green mess in your hands.
