- Adolescent engineering has produced a new PC case
- The computer-2 is a sequel to the computer-1, but it is free
- It is made of plastic instead of aluminum, and unfortunately exhausted at this time
Are you thinking of building a new computer? What would happen if I told you that you could get the free PC case? You probably didn’t believe me, right? Well, you can, with a couple of notable warnings, but this is still fundamentally a gift.
The Verge reports that adolescent engineering (more typically associated with the ingenious audio hardware) now has a sequel to its PC Computer-1 box. Can you guess what is called? Yes: The computer case -2, in an impressive blow of creativity.
The key difference is that, unlike the original case, which costs $ 149 in the US, the follow -up is free. Another remarkable change is that instead of aluminum, it is made of plastic, which is obviously a measure of cost savings.
In fact, it is a single semi -transparent plastic sheet that folds in a PC chassis (using hinges and fast hooks). Not screws are needed, and the motherboard can simply push and click on its place, adolescent engineering informs us.
It must be a (small) mini -it motherboard, mind, since this is a small case of form factor (SFF) for a compact compact of PC. It can be adapted to a SFX power supply and a double groove graphics card (7 inches is the maximum length for the discreet GPU).
In addition to the plastic sheet that forms the chassis itself, you get bits and pieces to accompany it in terms of several energy cables, fasteners, feet for the box to stop, etc.
Analysis: What about those catches?
Well, then return to cost is a round figure, literally, how can this PC case be provided for free? Well, it can’t, and adolescent engineering is charging shipping to cover computer sending 2 as it could suppose (and probably a little of that is to cover the cost of production). Of course, that is quite fair: it means that it is obtaining the components for free.
The other capture is that Computer-2 is already marked as exhausted on the official website; You can only click to receive a notification when the shares enter again. However, you can still examine the instructions to better understand what construction implies, and exactly what you will get.
According to all the accounts, the computer -1 is a great case for a small compilation of PC, and this new version of plastic of the formula looks equally great, especially given the price here (or the lack of it). Anecdotally, I have seen a shipment report that costs $ 16 (in the USA.) If you ask exactly what could end up paying (when I will be in stock).
Regarding reflecting on buying a cheap case in general, you can get some excellent products at the end of the market. Just be careful with air flow problems, especially if it is a PC for games that you are building, and be sure to consult the reviews to ensure that you are not collecting a doubt (and also our best guide for the purchase of PC cases will be useful).
