Voted for Filimon's, even though we don't really know what it is yet it looks awesome whatever it is and steampunk PCs look great. Although that granite PC is seriously good.

What are you doing up so early on a Saturday?

gigik · 31st May 2008, 07:49

hey, we had a pc case from "something like granit" too :-) more info http://www.zive.cz/default.aspx?article=132256

Go Go Tiny HTPC. The granite PC comes close with its rather major unique-ness, but I just like practicality a bit too much to vote for it. The HTPC is the one of this bunch that I'd like to have. Simple and functional design. I love it.

bentleya · 31st May 2008, 10:16

tiny htpc for me as well

ch424 · 31st May 2008, 10:33

Tiny HTPC is awesome

donnie · 31st May 2008, 10:50

The steamPunk looks cheesecake, its just something about that kind of look that screams wicked.

pistol_pete · 31st May 2008, 10:50

I was gonna vote for Tiny HTPC on the basis that it looks so elegant, but then I saw the custom CPU cooling solution. That's very impressive!

Voted Hephaestus for the plexi work!

Kenny_McCormick · 31st May 2008, 11:12

Tiny HTPC cheesecake!!
I'm not saying the others aren't good, but the one I voted its better. Great desing, finish and integration.

badje · 31st May 2008, 11:24

Some nice cases to vote this month, I voted Tiny HTPC it is so clean. Nice mod.
the Granite case is awesome too, just like the others.

modgodtanvir · 31st May 2008, 11:24

I really like the execution of Hephaestus....

DXR_13KE · 31st May 2008, 13:00

brazuca!! you have my vote!

Cupboard · 31st May 2008, 13:51

Shame we don't know what Claudia Unit is - I would have voted for it if I knew.

DXR_13KE · 31st May 2008, 16:40

All the entries are awesome, but I'm voting for Hephaestus. A gift bag from ACRyan may be the only way Yemerich can get the UV red plexi he needs to finish.

Hey man,

try this link -- original page is in Czech, but translate.google.com works with Czech language for a couple of weeks
Of course, translation wont be correct and there are some missing words, but i think you will get the point out of it.

All very good, but I chose Tiny HTPC. Looks like many others noticed the sheer tight-tolerance work there as well. Congrats and good luck to all the nominees!

BrunoPortela · 31st May 2008, 18:55
