They didn't even bother aligning the edges! ๐
This thing really does get worse the more you look at it, I can only imagine how bad the insides are ๐
Seriously, I'd say there's a zero percent chance this takes off, but luxury fashion is baffling to me, so who knows. If people will spend $500+ for a zip tie, maybe they'll spend it for this, too.
What the actual fuck
At least the names they give this shit are accurate: "AMBUSH" and "FARFETCH"? It almost feels too oniony to be true (not doubting you, it's just that obscene).
That is literally insane.
Such a boring unremarkable PCB. May as well be a TP-Link 2.4GHz PCI network adapter from 2006
Edit: if you look at the teeth it's offcenter from the resin, if I was blowing that money I'd expect it to be parallel. Shoddy workmanship
Double edit: I mean, it's pretty cool for a 200 dollar Etsy thing but for a luxury priced item whoever made this is delusional
This is one of those things where you only need a couple of idiots to buy it, and you've made a tidy profit.
Sure, it's almost all profit, but at $500, you're going to need to sell more than a couple.
This is the kind of shit you'd expect from a cyberpunk video game, not reality
So they just glued a fan to a plastic case and called it a "purse"?
And they went with a cheap Gigabyte one...
This is literally garbage.
I can imagine neither the point nor appeal of this...It's not even interesting.
I actually really dig stuff like this
WTF. Gpu purses is not something I ever expected. There can't be that many women who love computer hardware enough to wear a gpu purse.
