Grew up during the era of see-thru plastics. Wasn't a fan then, still not a fan. I'd even prefer a case for PC that didn't have a window.
bregma•7mo ago
No window? How can you see the friendly glow of the vacuum tubes?
justmarc•7mo ago
Very nice! But I came to see see through electronics, not cases.
5-•7mo ago
closer? https://x.com/tomstokes/status/1938626898915193272

https://jlcpcb.com/blog/jlcpcb-launches-transparent-fpc-see-...

justmarc•7mo ago
Much better! thank you, but that's see through PCBs.

What I'm really looking for see through electronic components :)

Nevermark•7mo ago
Have you tried a device called Vision Pro?

You can feel electronics on your face, unfortunately, but you can see through them.

justmarc•7mo ago
I think I'd mostly feel the weight of electronics on my face then.
janpmz•7mo ago
I've heared the part of the processor where the actual processing happens is so thin (0.2-0.3mm) that you might be able to see through it.
IAmBroom•7mo ago
Silicon seems to absorb 10^-4 per cm in the center of the visible band, so it would still be 99.5% opaque, even if printed on glass.
greggsy•7mo ago
Sangean have been manufacturing several clear radios for the correctional industry for some time now.

Google ‘prison radio’ or ‘inmate radio’ for pictures.

IAmBroom•7mo ago
Again, these are ordinary radios with transparent structural components.
RossBencina•7mo ago
Is there a way to have a transparent plastic case that has RFI shielding and/or avoids accumulation of static charge?
myself248•7mo ago
Indium Tin Oxide.
myself248•7mo ago
I wonder if this is hitting the frontpage today because of the interest in Lorde's most recent release, which is an entirely clear CD.

It looks like the protectors that would come at the top and bottom of a spindle of blanks, but there's music on it. (And very, very tiny printing around the edge with some copyright info.)

IAmBroom•7mo ago
So, the antithesis of the picture albums occasionally released in the 1970s? Cool!

I see Gakken Electronics EX150 Denshi Block, I upvote!

https://www.are.na/block/27428352

This was the first 'transparent' electronics device I ever owned, back in the 70's .. it was always quite important to see the component in the Denshi block, a very nice touch. I think in this case, the transparency actually had a function - unlike many of the other cases.

Simulacra•7mo ago
Reminds me of my time teaching in a prison. Typewriters, calculators, televisions, all clear plastic.
zombot•7mo ago
This looks damn cool, how was it done?
IAmBroom•7mo ago
Vacuum-formed clear plastic.
woleium•7mo ago
Weren’t transparent cases required in prison so it’s harder to hide contraband?
