Looks really cool when it's closed. Reminds me of a Boy Scouts of America briefcase my dad owned when he was a Scout Master (back when I was a youngling).

[Target]

yes, a rather cool project I thought

I was most amused by the various backhanders (Chris#, Linaxe, etc)...

Great find, Target. I went a good ways toward building my own case for a computer once, but gave up too soon. The design was a flat box that had only fine mesh as a cover on one side for easy access and venting. Fans were external to the device and controlled separately.

building a case is one thing, but this guys taken it to whole new level...

The page was slashdotted yesterday, so it's not until now I see pics etc. The case looks very sweet, but the hardware is... SO... underpowered. Which is of course the whole point, but still. I would've went for an ARM cpu or such, that could as least be useful.

This made me laugh:
