Cool, but for that price, I'll keep buying $50 - $80 cases and leave the sides off.

It is an interesting design however is it practical for the price of

In some cases(pardon the pun), It may be perfect, In others no, It just depends.

If I wanted to install more than 5 PCs here(If I could pay for their Electrical costs per month), Two of those Antec cases would possibly fit on the Top shelf and another tower case would fit to the right of the Monitor(Barely).

If you switched your current cases to the Antec Skeleton Design cases you could have quite A collection of Puters :o)

He would only get 2 of them on the bottom shelf. They are 2 - 3 times as wide as the normal case as the MoBo is flat and rack mounted. The design also precludes stacking PC cases on top of each other, in instances where there is no shelving.

. . . actually - suspension [w/ guy wire suspension Towers - indoor for computers]

like a scaled Model of this Tower - and the 'cooling effect' would be greater -

and you could 'suspend' a whole lot of units - dependin' upon your Model Tower size ;))

Actually I've taken the time to see what the Antec Skeleton case size is and It's this: 12.5" x 14.8" x 16.50"[31.75cm x 37.6cm x 41.9cm] And since the top shelf is 48" x 24" in size and the printer isn't very big, I have about 30" x 24" of empty space up there, I do have another shelf, But to mount It would mean taking this all apart(Except for the bottom shelf) Oh and the rightmost one is not powered and is only sitting there and It makes the whole setup look a bit more impressive without using anymore juice as It's an AMD Opteron 165 PC that I built a while back before Quad cpus came out.

Is this really an enclosure that doesn't "enclose" anything?

Or a Dust collector for Someones Closet? In which case somebody who owns one and has It in their Closet, Will have a Skeleton in their closet. ;) LOL

I don't want live/sleep near a rig like this or an opened rig without sidedoor..
You know 'electromagnetic radiation'?

Actually, the shielding is in the motherboard design itself. We're also talking about non-ionizing radiation, that isn't the kind you get from "radioactive" materials.

I don't know if we talk about the same thing..
Or it's a translation prob..

I don't mean radioactive..
I talk about 'elektromagnetische Strahlung' (german).

It can disturb TV, radio or others.. and humans..

A PC must have a 'Faradayschen Käfig' (german).

TV and Radio, sure. Humans, not so much at the typical levels we're talking about here.

A "Faraday Cage" is one way to keep the noise down.

The basic idea, though is of a transmission line. If you have a conductor of some sort spaced away from another (usually grounded) conductor, you have a transmission line, and the signals tend to stay "in" the transmission line.

Traces on a circuit board with buried power and ground planes are transmission lines.

The main source of RFI from a computer is the various cables. Those are much better these days.
