Because waiting until next year for an Xbox one is quite frankly for chumps. And chumpettes. Back at E3, Microsoft got flak for duping folks into believing that they were playing Xbox One games on the actual console, when it was a similar-specced PC all along. Still consoles rule in my opinion. And if you can’t beat them, why not join them?
One Chinese site is offering just such a hybrid solution, as they’re selling external Xbox One casings. Casings which you could throw some PC parts into, and pretend to have your own Xbox One.
It’s not clear yet if these are spare cases off of the assembly lines where the console is being put together, or really well fabricated duplicates, but hey it looks good to me. And here’s something else that will make the critics happy: None of these shells come with Kinect.
You’ll have to ask Miss Nancy Zeng for the price though. I’m not getting involved with a dodgy Chinese deal again. That’s the reason why Geoff has the film and television rights to my life story right now.

Why would you do that to a PC? Torture is banned under the Geneva Convention.

For a PC case…. It’s so ugly… but guess it could look worse… could look like a PS4 case.

Come console jockies… you can do better than that.
Its like oval racing… going in a circle, over and over for years and staying with the same car for years. (console)

I’m assuming the mags are the PC components.
Admiral Chief of Rivia
September 17, 2013 at 13:23
Nope, the turbo, branches, freeflow, NOS system, and chip would be PC components.
Mags don’t make it go faster Trev

Nothing makes an Uno go faster, other than gravity as it falls off a cliff.
I used to work opposite a used car dealer. They had an Uno, that if you judged speed by number of fins & body mods, would be the fastest car in existence.

Wow I just remembered. My first car was an old 1.3 Ford Escort, developed a hole in the exhaust so took it in to be fixed, guy told me he could give me a new stainless steel free flow exhaust for R100 more than what it would cost to fix – it really did make a big difference lol

My first car was ’96 Corsa Lite nogal, I popped the original engine (I blame booze and ex gf). Got branches, freeflow, chip, GSI engine and PHAT sound.
Good grief, I was zef those days 😛
