just came across this while I was looking for a cheap PC case for a system I'm building.

now there's cheap, and there's cheap. then there's this:



I reckon that's just a little too cheap.

wouldn't want to use it with a water cooled setup would you!

could be a prob if it heats up a bit.

If I'm looking at that right it says the price is 9,800 Yen which is just over 70 euros?

Quite pricey then for some ugly pieces of cardboard

huh? couldn't get www.xe.com/ucc (currency converter) to do the maths for me, so just assumed it was a really cheap case given it's made of cardboard.

ohwell.

would still be funny though, turning up at a lan party with that under your arm.

9,800.00 JPY = 77.3228 EUR

Japan Yen Euro

cardboard box = .3c
selotape = .4c
labour = .74c

profit = €75.88

buying a cardboard box from the Japanese for 77.32 Euro
Priceless

ah but that's no fun, for casemodding ya need a jigsaw, hammer, a welding device of some sort , a drill, and chainsaw (depends on what ya want to do with it )

the powertools are the fun part, oh and i almost forgot, an angle grinder

Don't know why people assume cardboard boxes are cheap. A simple triple walled cardboard shipping crate can set you back €10 and that doesn't have all the fancy furniture that you need for a PC case.
