- Teenage Engineering has produced a new PC case
- The computer-2 is a series of the computer-1, but it’s free
- It is made of plastic rather than aluminum, and unfortunately out of stock at the moment
Are you planning to build a new computer? And if I told you that you could get the PC case for free – you would probably not believe me, right? Well, you can – with a few notable warnings, but it is always fundamentally a gift.
The penis reports that teenage engineering (more generally associated with NIFTY audio equipment) now has a series of its PC Computer-1 case. Can you guess what’s the name? Yes: the computer -2 housing – in an amazing creativity line.
The main difference is that, unlike the original case, which cost $ 149 in the United States, follow-up is free. Another notable change is that instead of aluminum, it is in plastic, which is obviously an economy measure.
In fact, it is a single sheet of semi-transparent plastic that folds in a PC chassis (using hinges and instruction hooks). There are no necessary screws, and the motherboard can simply be pushed and clicked in place, informs us the engineering of adolescents.
It must be a (small) mini-itx motherboard, mind, because it is a small factor in shape factor (SFF) for a compact PC construction. It can adapt to a SFX power supply and a double slit graphics card (7 inch is the maximum length for the discreet GPU).
In addition to the plastic sheet that forms the chassis itself, you get the pieces to accompany it in terms of different power cables, ties, feet so that the case is held, etc.
Analysis: What about these catches?
Okay, so go back to the cost being – literally – a round figure of nothing – how can you devil this PC case be provided for free? Well, that cannot be, and teenage engineering invoices on shipping to cover the sending of the computer-2 as you can guess (and probably a little of this is to cover the cost of production). Of course, it’s fairly right – it means you get the components themselves for free.
The other catch is that the computer-2 is already marked as sold on the official website; You can only click to receive a notification when the stock is back. You can always examine the instructions, however, to better understand what construction implies, and exactly what you will get.
According to all the accounts, the computer -1 is an excellent case for a small PC construction – and this new plastic socket of the formula seems just as cool, especially given the price here (or its absence). Anecdotal, I saw an expedition report costing $ 16 (in the United States) if you are wondering exactly what you could end up paying (when it is back in stock).
As for thinking about the purchase of a cheap case in general, you can get excellent products at the end of the market on the market. Just be careful about air flow problems – especially if it is a game PC that you build – and make sure you consult opinions to make sure you don’t take a failure (and also our best PC case purchasing guide will be useful).
