Notes on software, systems, engineering, and things

6 Round 3

Round 3 is all about the look. Every design has the same parts inside as round 2 (5), the five boards, the power supply and the two blowers, and passes the same checks, but each one takes its style from somewhere different.

It came in two halves. First, three themed rounds of five: Neo-Braun, sysadmin and Apple. Then five batches of three, where each batch started with research into real design, and the designs came from that.

Theme Designs Claude's pick
6.1 Neo-Braun N1 to N5 N2 Vitrine Tower
6.2 Sysadmin S1 to S5 S1 Mini Rack
6.3 Apple P1 to P5 P2 Clear Cube
6.4 Supercomputers H1 to H3 H1 Loveseat
6.5 Teenage Engineering T1 to T3 T2 Synth
6.6 Architecture R1 to R3 R1 Capsule
6.7 Nature E1 to E3 E3 Skep
6.8 Retro-futurism F1 to F3 F2 Totem

That's thirty new designs, and with A2 and B2, thirty-two that pass every check.
