Apple have lodged a patent for what they describe as a chamelionic computer casing which basically uses banks of tiny embedded LED's to actively change the colour of the computer itself either by user preference setting simple patterns (like tiger stripes presumably) or to visually show the state of the computer's health like red if it's in trouble with something. who cares if they only have 4% global market share - they still continue to dominate in the style stakes although it's unclear what this would be used with - possibly the G5 iMac or the tablet Mac which they have also lodged patents for this month.

Awesome :)

So our caedes site may have to move into 'all-over' wallpaper as well???!!!

now that would be trippy, wrap around desktops :-)

Well I hate Mac computers -_-

and?

wow, do u mean the actually color of the case? That would be quite odd.. Maybe for a gaming PC (which are generally not mac, even though they could kill any PC) but i dont know.. But I do have it right, right? You mean the color of the case?

yep the whole case can change colour even patterns chameleon stylee

Wow thats crazy. But i think i would have to see it before i can say one way or the other. But it is interesting

how much farther before we're working on three dimensional boxes (LED's on all sides).. imagine the crazy desktops you'll need then..

My PC beats a Mac on style hands down :p

(My taste of course, not for everyone.)

ph34r my p00ter!
(& it's not even finished yet) >:]

I assume you are either a computer science major at a tier 2> university or still in hs, no?

Style is in the eye of the beholder. I have an IBM T40 that I think is one of the best looking machines I've seen, yet there is no color on it except black. It's simply thin and black. :)

*My PC beats a Mac on style hands down* oh dear - have you put 22" spinners on it as well?

:-)

Xentrik - I have to agree with you about IBM - I'm a big fan of their black geometric styling. It must be their long running partnership with Apple that has rubbed off on them.

Assumption is the mother of all f**k ups. ;)

Neither actually. =P

& no, no " 22" spinners on it" but I will be adding Cobra UV cables & an internal strobe light if that counts? >:]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAH!!! "oh dear - have you put 22" spinners on it as well? " wow, that was funny..

haha, my machine is a flat black with blacklights virtically up the front, with a blacklight inside the box, with a glass side w/lit up fan
too bad she's having issues right now..

apologize to paws, that was rude
perhaps you are simply 33 going on 16 o_O

I didnt want to do this, but I guess I'll have to. Allow me to show you a real PC

Noob's PC: The Beast

The powersupply that doesnt fit and missing side casing come standard. I threw in the missing floppy drive shield in the casing and the hanging shelless wireless receiver.
I'll probably throw in some balled up lecture notes and maybe an old pizza box to match the mellow yellow as the semester rolls on. But those are purely for aesthetic reasons.

l33t pwned

....and?

The beast is better, because its better looking, notice how it wasnt included within the tests. I didnt see any "The Beast 450%". Thats called the Apple Skew.

Heh, the Beast looks like the old wreck I used to have.

& I am 30 & enjoy being different so therefore my PC reflects that. I also like something pleasing to look at while I work. Especially as I spend a lot of time at my PC. (:

if by "old wreck" you mean "new and innovative technology and design", then I could see the resemblance.

& if you mean it looks like it had an argument with a JCB when you said "new and innovative technology and design" then we agree. ;)

(My old wreck had a fight with my 25" Sony TV {I dropped the TV on the PC one day, word to the wise don't do this it is a bad idea} & came off worse so looked like yours does)
