case looks fine, but I will not participate in raffle. What are my odds even if only 100 people participate and there is 1 case available?..

So beautiful case!!

Any other colours yet? Not sure a pearl EeePC would match a black case.

That’s pretty classy. What’s the side-protection like? Some of the folio-type designs are a bit lacking due to the number of cut-outs for ports.

The probability will definitely be zero if you do not participate.

@prob
Good idea to make such raffle here on eeeuser.com. I’m pretty sure, many people will buy something from this shop. I’m thinking about this case for my Eee as well now

I’m a cultural and visual anthropologist who works in East Asia. I’ve blown out a PowerBook travelling across the Gobi desert and I’m hoping my EEE PC with its lack of moving parts will fare better — especially if it had a nice case!

and apparently I can’t read directions!
Off to the forums to reply in the proper place.

running AES encrypted partitions that will scramble the entire HD if you fail the password challenge more than three times. It also rechallenges everytime there is more than 5 minutes of input inactivity. The more highly sensitive of my files are stenoed on a random block of data that appears to be an encrypted filesystem. My RAM is systematically written over with random bytes when ever it becomes deallocated; as is my HD when a file is deleted.
So my question is, how does a flimsy computer cover offer more protection than this?
