Engineering can have side effects too. Have a look at the following conversation between a software engineer and his wife.

Conversation between a software engineer and his wife

Husband – hey dear, I am logged in.

Wife – would you like to have some snacks?
Husband – hard disk full.

Wife – have you brought the jeans for me.
Husband – Bad command or file name.

Wife- What about my TV?
Husband – variable not found

Wife – but I told you about it in morning
Husband – erroneous syntax, abort, retry, cancel.

Wife – at least give me your credit card,
i can do some shopping.
Husband – sharing violation, access denied.

What shape do you associate with style?  Scimitar Computers claim that pyramids = hip & stylish, and so they’re claiming that their handmade pyramid-shaped computer cases are “the solution to the conundrum of how to be a computer nerd and hip and stylish at the same time.” I thought Apple’s already solving that problem.

Okay I was just kidding . Called Vertex, the laser-cut aluminum case measures 10.24? x 16 ” x 16?. It comes equipped with a LED-lit power button, Scythe Kama-Flex sleeved fans, and hard drive suspension. Each case also comes with a Micro-ATX motherboard, Flex ATX power supply, a slim DVD bay, side-mounted USB, Firewire and audio in/out ports, and a “cross-flow cooling system”, comprised of a fan at the back and bottom of the pyramid.

The Vertex comes in three colors, blue, red and black. In my opinion, its the colors that make it … not stylish. They’re very flat and basic and end up making the case look like a work in progress.
