A few years ago, I saw an article about “artsy” computer cases, one of which was shaped like a DNA molecule (with the slots offset by a few degrees going up the tower, resulting in a double helix). Does anyone have any idea where I might find such a case online? I’ve found lots of sites with PC cases and lots of sites about DNA through my searching, but I can’t seem to find any with the two terms actually related to one another.
Barring that, does anyone know what it would take to build a PC case? Any links to tutorials might be helpful (but, honestly, I can’t imagine I’d ever actually get around to it )
There are very few manufactured PC cases for sale that aren’t the standard desktop tower/mid-tower/mini-tower configuration. Slashdot showed only one once that looked pretty cool, it was shaped more squared, like a box with the two vertical front edges cut off at a 45-degree angle, and it had everything arranged better internally (I thought, anyway–better airflow, the internal components were more accessible and the drive cables didn’t have to be as long) but it didn’t have as many drive bays as I needed. It was shown on a Japanese-language page also; I never found out how to actually order one. I saw it on Slashdot though.
After I saw that one, I asked around on a few PC forums for any links to ohter “alternate” cases, and got not one single link. Nobody knew where to get a case that was anything other than the typical PC tower style.

Hmm. I actually was talking about the slots, but maybe I’m recalling incorrectly… or maybe it had a specialized motherboard, I’m not certain.
After further searching, the closest I could find was the Intel Twister, which was supposedly revolutionary, but looked like a standard box with a nearly-imperceptible twist. Sigh, looks like I’ll either have to build my own (not likely) or wait until at least the next upgrade…
