COMPUTEX 2007: In a sort of lovechild between Lian Li and Cooler Master, Foxconn makes a concept case to die for. Well, maybe not fatally injured for.

Second case looks ugly as hell, but I would DEFINATELY buy the first!

Even if you don't like the minimalistic look, imagine the possibilities of the mods that could be done.

They make plenty of things for Apple, why wouldn't they rip-off their designs?

That's just the G5/Mac-Pro without Mesh.

Looks sexy, though I hope they keep the same quality in terms of inside layout too, because no matter how pretty the outside is, if the inside is a nightmare, then no thanks

DXR_13KE · 6th Jun 2007, 12:01

they look cute, me hopes they are cheap and good.

[USRF]Obiwan · 6th Jun 2007, 12:07

Put that sliding door mechanism from the second case on the first case please!

I just HATE doors. I hate them so much. I dont even care if it is the most beatiful case in the world or if i would get the most expansive case in the world for free. If it has a door. Keep it.

Redbeaver · 6th Jun 2007, 14:09

its not THAT ugly, the 2nd case, but yeah, 1st case is very nice... keep it comin Foxconn, and maybe even Silverstone can up the notch too

yakyb · 6th Jun 2007, 14:24

damn was going to reply with G5 anyone but someone got there before me

chaosbringer · 7th Jun 2007, 16:42

the first case looks cool but still need to see the insides, anyone know were i can see it?

Jipa · 7th Jun 2007, 16:47

The first is pretty awesome.. Looking forward!

chaosbringer · 5th Jul 2007, 12:20

so.. no news on these cases? not even their name?

specofdust · 5th Jul 2007, 12:43

As with everyone else I think the second case sucks. The first one though...I'm not so sure about. I can kind of see why some might like it, but it just seems too bland to me, and that's coming from a P180 owner/lover.

Amon · 5th Jul 2007, 13:49

If this is as close as it gets to the G5 chassis, then I'm sold.

I've heard nothing, after all they were prototypes. I'll badger our Foxconn contact for more details though

Bindibadgi · 5th Jul 2007, 14:56

OK bad news folks:

Unfortunately these cases on show were just concept designs and will not be manufactured. Just to show what Foxconn is capable of manufacturing and designing. Im sure aspects of concept ideas will filter through to mass produced products.

Sch**sse!
