The teenage engineering computer-1 is not meant to be a detached chassis. Instead, with its unique flat-packed design and the need to bend and build it yourself, the result is a fused, single unit that provides the functionality you need, and after going through the whole experience of unpacking and building it, the result is mesmerizing.

The InWin Airforce is the flat-packed vision of an ATX chassis from InWin. While available in a more subtle "Phantom Black," the colorful "Justice White" variant really brings home that modular aspect and results in a functional and spacious, albeit slightly simple chassis that could just be worth the whole assembly experience in the end.
