While Teenage Engineering is best known for its synths, it constantly finds ways to surprise its suckers. Its rearmost release is no different, but that does n’t make it any less instigative. It has blazoned an ITX PC case it’s calling the Computer-1. The company says it has been working on the design since 2014. “ It’s not a ground- breaking PC case, but we like it, and use it every day,” TE says on its website. “ Now we ’d like to partake it with you.”
The case is made from 1mm-thick greasepaint- carpeted aluminum. Like TE’s recent synths, it comes in a figure-it-yourself flat- pack design that involves bending some of the panels. “ Suppose doubly, bend formerly,” the company warns humorously. With chrome handles included, the case stands 322 mm or about a bottom altitudinous. Width-wise, it measures 170 mm or just over six elevation wide. Outside, you have enough room for an SFX power force, a binary- niche GPU that measures under 180 mm long and a CPU cooler that’s about 120 mm altitudinous. It’ll be intriguing to see what thermal performance is like on the Computer-1 since the side panels do n’t feature a mesh design.
At$ 195, the Computer-1 is precious, but about what you would anticipate to pay for an ITX case from a small company. You ’ll find further affordable options in products like the NR200 from Cooler Master, but you can fluently spend as important as$ 200 or further on a Dan A4 or FormDT1.However, you may have to stay to get your hands on one, If you ’re interested in the Computer-1. It’s presently vended out, but you can subscribe up to get a announcement once it’s available.
