Teenage Engineering Orange Computer-1 PC Bag is back on sale

You can finally get your hands on the very small and completely orange Computer-1 PC case from Teenage Engineering again, months later At first it was sold and sold. If you’re really hoping to buy a small bag of ITX $195, you can Go to the company’s website And add it to your cart – but before you do, it’s probably worth updating yourself on the properties of… Computer 1.

This means that pulling in them can be a long forearm exercise – not exactly the experience you’d expect with such an expensive piece. (High quality Mini-ITX bags range from Under $100 to about $200 – but those are usually pre-assembled.)

And while there might be better ways to spend $200 on a flat orange computer frame – TE . Play History Designed with panic sound very fun And plenty of style too – you don’t have many other options if you desperately need a computer case that looks inspired Half-life suit HEV. Just be prepared to spend so much for something that you have to bend over and build yourself up; Beauty does not come cheap.
