So, recently this was delivered to my house:
"Hm," thought I. "An enclosure for containing microcomputer components. What an interesting curiosity." And I went back to watching Corner Gas reruns and basking in the glow of sheer laziness.
Yesterday I got an email from NCase World Headquarters asking me if I was happy with it, and if I was, to post some pictures here. "The what now..?" I mumbled to myself, my head dizzy with Canadian humour. "Oh, right... I suppose I'd best do just that."
So, to drag out an already not-very-interesting story, I did just that. I unboxed the NCase, dutifully taking pictures of it while doing so. And then, in a surprise to no one, I uploaded the pictures to the [H]ardforum, where they (and I) were very warmly received. You can see those pictures in the NCase thread (http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1717132) either at the beginning, or starting on page 294.
Then what? Well... of course I'm going to have to build a computer in that case. I went to the spares cabinet and found some parts. Okay... I had another mITX project that I was dragging my feet on (it was a rehab of an HP case that will likely go to the Goodwill, now) that I basically grabbed all the goodies from. This stuff:
...video card? Why would I put a video card on it? Oh, right; because the NCase was designed around having a honkin' big vidcard on your mITX board!! Gotcha. How 'bout this one:
An MSI GeForce 560 Ti Twin Frozr II that didn't agree with my other computer.
More to come, as the story develops!
