look ma! no case!
This is what happens with a bored tech support guy and old parts.
It is suspended by cat5 for the main wires and cat3 for the little stuff.

Gizmodo calls it "the first caseless case mod we've seen", which means they haven't been around very long -- I've seen several, both suspended like this one, and wall-mounted. (And that's not even counting a long line of temporary desktop lash-ups at the Starport.) This particular mod raises the question of just how much of it actually gets used, as opposed to just being there because it's a traditional PC component.

Suissa: Suissa's Wooden Enlighten PC - Gizmodo

Like other Suissa PCs, the Enlighten's case is made of wood meant to last through many cycles of component gutting and upgrading. Unlike the others, this one is built around a MicroATX mobo. This qualifies as art, and is therefore above a certain amount of practical criticism, but I can't get over the fact that wood isn't going to dissipate heat nearly as well as aluminum. Did I mention it is $16,500?

The product page is here, where we learn that it's a limited edition. Of 10.

Wonder if he can sell that many?

... and entirely too much time on their hands.

Actually, the case-modding potential was the reason I bought my first Mini-ITX board. The other three were bought after I got addicted to the silence.
