This Teenage Engineering Computer Case Is Truly A Thing of Marvel

thegamer.com:

Here’s a confession: I’ve been in love with Teenage Engineering, a Swedish electronics company, for a while now. Its brand is synonymous with a high-end, minimalist design of portable synthesisers and speakers, including a line of ultra mini synths called Pocket Operators that are a sheer joy to play, too (one of them is Street Fighter-themed, which lets you make Street Fighting sounds). Gamers, on the other hand, may be more familiar with a console that the company has helped design: the Playdate.

More than just the Playdate, however, Teenage Engineering is gradually moving towards beautifully designed consumer electronics, beginning with a computer case. That’s the splashy orange chassis, humbly called the computer-1. You may want to keep your eye out for this case, too; when it was first released in October last year, it was sold out pretty darn quickly. It has since been restocked—so if this is something you would like to have when building your own PC, it’s available right now

But before you go ahead and fit a hefty gaming rig into this case, do take note that this is very modestly-sized. Like, it’s pretty tiny actually. In fact, it’s a mini-ITX case, with a dimension of 170 x 190 x 322 mm (width x depth x height), which doesn’t give you a lot of space to cram a whole lot of horsepower and GPU inside. What’s more is that the case is also build-it-yourself since it will come completely unassembled, with aluminium pieces so thin that its assembly guide has a gentle warning that implores you to “think twice, bend once”. So yeah, don’t go bending the case too much. At the same time, it’s also an eye-watering $195—a steep price
