      What about its shielding properties?
      Don't know, got the pics from nV news and this is the only thing they said:

      Amazon International sends word that Akasa is set to release a clear acrylic case for those who are proud enough to show the world their hardware. The case also comes equipped with a number of Blue LED fans which give the case an eerie glow when the lights go out. An image of the case lit-up can be found here.
      (think I should remove the first pic, it's rather large ?)

        This case has no shielding ability at all... well except for maybe weak Alpha particles

          It's esthetically pleasing though!

            Is there a some kind of a very thin metal mesh that can be used to create a faraday cage inside it without ruining the looks ?

              Why not just use Transparent Steel (TM)

                  Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?

                    If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

                      Why not have some cool flat metal wires running accross the plexi glass in a design that grounds the whole thing? Kinda like the defrost wires on the rear windshield of a car? THAT would be cool!

                            I hate it.

                            Theres no way to hide all the extra length of cables or make the fact you've had to run an IDE cable in a figure of 8 dissapear.

                            Not to mention what happens after a few weeks use in an environment with the merest smidgeon of dust in the air.

                              You could buy copper screening and use that to shield it... same stuff used to block IR in windows... and the same that we used in our faraday cage when I was in the USAF


                              Personally think it's butt ugly
