    Default Cool Side Vent Design

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16856110069

    I was looking through some processors and noticed this case in one of their combo deals. Didn't really think much of the case itself, but I did notice the side panel vent they had. Its a sort of optical illusion, it looks 3D but it is actually just a series of different sized holes placed in such a way that it gives you the impression that its "popping" out at you.

    Isn't that a great idea!?
    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

    Funny, I love everything about that case except that vent, although I do think the vent is cool in the way you mentioned. I also don't like the use of a proprietary form factor, but I do love modding case to be ATX (or in this case I would make it micro ITX)

    It would be interesting to think of what kind of designs you could make.

    Black is the new Beige... but I'd still think this case would look good in black. Or lets get creative, and paint it metallic blue, or maybe a nice two-tone accent line around the lower part. And I concur that that side vent is the only thing I don't like about that case.

    I've got nothing against white, it's just that its almost beige. Silver is nice, any color is nice when used well. I just like black. Personally I think some cases need to be a certain colour. Could you picture an NZXT Lexa white, or silver? It would wreck the style of the case.
