many years ago, i worked at a place that made comps like that. took a look and they still do; i think most of them go for 5-10k or so. one thing they're used for is doing those video overlays at live sports games and such

that giant lugtop looks like a hollywood prop that Ludacris would use to hack an unhackable supercar from the back of a stealth helicopter flying at 200mph in the next Fast & Furious movie.

they should have used polycarbonate instead. like on the imacs and ibooks. acrylic is a lovely choice for consumer products unless you specifically want something that looks as close as possible to glass.

infernal machines posted:i mean, if i had to guess why it was selected it's a pretty marginal difference, though. the situations where you care about it are, like, a museum display case where clarity and optical quality are paramount but you want it somewhat lighter and stronger than glass. the clear imacs were polycarbonate and they looked fine. acrylic is just not a great material outside that one circumstance of replacing glass.

i sill remember having to explain to the fabricator my boss had chosen to build a UV lightbox for a bunch of UV reactive artwork he had just sold, why his lightbox with the acrylic panels didn't work. i felt a little odd about it because, like, it's this guy's job, and i'm just some schmuck who got roped into doing installs alongside IT work for the gallery, but yeah bud, that plexiglass is UV absorbent infernal machines fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Aug 12, 2020 |

the acrylic panels were UV absorbent, which is less than ideal for something meant to shine UV light

PMMA has about 95% absorption of the 405nm light used for curing.

it was probably something simple from a short comment stebe made, like he said "make it look as close to glass as possible" and that's what they did

actually as much as it looks neat it's a terrible design practically. only two USB ports, one of which you have to occupy with an audio-out to use audio. There is no 3.5 included. Video cables awkwardly have to route under. Mac minii is the good version
