P.S.

If they want to save on shipping cost, now that they have a case, sell use barebones kits. Case, motherboard, DVD burner, and power supply.]]>Nov 4th 2008 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-introduces-vento-ta-f-foldable-pc-case/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-introduces-vento-ta-f-foldable-pc-case/
Other than cheaper shipping, there are NO advantages. In fact, it'll probably be flimsy because of the added joints. And as far as the feature of tool-less, you're still gonna have to take out a screwdriver to install the motherboard and PSU, so you might as well as screw in the drives and cards while you're at it.]]>Nov 2nd 2008 10:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-introduces-vento-ta-f-foldable-pc-case/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-introduces-vento-ta-f-foldable-pc-case/
Just make it good and solid. That's what is most important to me. I'll wait to see reviews before I pass judgement on this case.]]>Nov 2nd 2008 10:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-introduces-vento-ta-f-foldable-pc-case/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-introduces-vento-ta-f-foldable-pc-case/
Yeah the main advantages are cheaper shipping and easier storage. My question is why not? I'm sure that there are people who's lifes would be made a lot easier by having this. And why would you screw in the drives and cards if you don't have to? Getting the screwdriver out is not the most time consuming part. You sound like a grumpy tool. (Who's just jealous cause these cases are making you obsolete.)

Well, from a standpoint of being able to do it's job probably not all that strong for most of us. But personally I want my computer case to feel strong and solid. It's a perceptual thing and I believe it matters to most people.

Asus and retailers will like it. Its not really there for the consumer's benefit."

It is potentially a consumer benefit if it means shipping cost savings passed on to the consumer. I can't say that it would be a cost savings passed on to the consumer but the potential is there.]]>Nov 2nd 2008 11:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-introduces-vento-ta-f-foldable-pc-case/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-introduces-vento-ta-f-foldable-pc-case/Nov 3rd 2008 5:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-introduces-vento-ta-f-foldable-pc-case/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-introduces-vento-ta-f-foldable-pc-case/Less packaging.
