Cool New Case: Dawrin: Hammerhead

[Langer]

I just discovered this really cool new computer company:

DarwinMachine.com

The Hammerhead HMR989 is a custom, high-performance desktop computer designed by DARWINmachine. Each chassis is made to order and is hand-built from brushed, anodized aluminum and ecoresin. With its unique design and functionality, it is perfect for the hardcore gamer, enthusiast, or for anyone looking for a desktop machine that is “out of the box”.
The components are laid out for easy access while the back panel is oriented downward for a clean look. The Hammerhead’s rugged aluminum chassis is designed to last as new components can be easily upgraded over time.
Like every DARWINmachine, the Hammerhead HMR989 comes with a unique serial number, and each series is limited to a few runs.

Looks interesting. From what I can see the build quality and attention to detail are excellent.

Interesting case - wouldn't be too hard to knock one up very similar from perspex

[Tile]

The case is made from aluminium and perspex. The concept is very simple yet masterfully executed.

I know I have no artistic ability now. I'd never have thought this up on my own.

I can't wait for someone on here to knock off their design, but do it 10x better.

If someone has cash to blow, it is a very unique case. I like it!

[Langer]

Actually this case isn't perspex, its some kind of eco resin.

I personally think the price is well founded when you consider the work involved.

I do agree about the design though. It looks like a mash-up of ideas robbed from the forums... but I still think it's very cool and I commend the guy for giving it his all.

I think it looks butt ugly

[hewi]

So basically you pay premium for mediocore components wrapped up in expensive plastic ? thingy with a cheap Thermaltake CPU cooler and onboard
vga cooling.....ehhh no thanks, lol.

The design itself is pretty cool, but thats about it. I've even seen cooler DIY
cases with similar desing here on the forums. Overpriced benchtable IMO.

Yeah. The price involves the idea, too. Plus this would work stylish and as a piece of art in a nice, well-decorated room.
