This is a case I created for Sapphire to showcase their new "Liquid Metal" cooled X850XT.
They only gave me two weeks to do this to get it ready for E3 so the design is really simple.
The design was to match the Liquid metal "theme" when the PC is off. As you can see when the PC is off it looks more like a chromed metal cube than a Plexiglass case.
It also Matches the Blizzard guy too.
Then when it powers up and the lights come on the look becomes the colder "Blizzard theme".
Two themes in one case you could say.
The New Card will be added at E3 for now there is a X800XL 512mb inside it.
I was back and forth with the handle. Did I want it or not?
Eventually I gave way to the reality. For now they needed to open the lid every time the wanted to start it up because the "Pure" mobo is still just a prototype. So it was really Needed.
A newer board should be installed soon and they can hook up those
nifty Bulgan switches. They light up blue and the bottom one flashes to HD Activity
Here is a view of the back I/O ports. I added a little warning that say not to pic the PC up by the Lid.
I think it would do OK for a while, but over time might begin to crack.
and here you see it powered up
When they put the new mobo in they will hook up these bulgan switches. They light up blue and the bottom one will flash to HD activity
Sapphire should be sending me pics of the Blizzard card installed inside the PC from E3.
I will post them up as soon as I get them.
