Designed by Loop, the Noir chassis
takes a slightly different approach to low-cost case design.
Effectively sitting on top of a steel chassis of undeniably budget origins, the Noir uses a wraparound plastic shell to create a mini tower that looks - and feels - a touch more expensive than the ~$29 price (sans PSU) the company would charge if selling to the public.
Rather, Loop is focussing on the OEM market, and if one particular MESH Computers representative's appearance on the stand is anything to go by, expect to see a Noir derivative in their range this summer.

The plastic is cut in such
a way that
the buttons themselves are pushed and thus make contact with the
microswitches underneath. The overall effect is one that's slightly
quirky.
The flat top is perfect for
placing
peripherals and USB-charged devices, according to the firm's CEO, and
that's why you see the rear-facing port on the very top.
Would you buy this chassis if it was retailing for, say, £29? Or is it just too tacky for your liking? As always, comments are welcome.
