I never really thought about the screws not being countersunk. That would
certainly look nice. What I do remember very vividly is being struck by the
ingenious elegance of the whole 2D fastener idea. That a very good, solid
case can be created with only 3 bends in the metal, and allow any of 6 (or
seven) sides to be pulled independently of the other 5 (or 6).

I'll take the screws sticking out any day. Engineering like that on the case
gives a good hint at what's to go inside that case.

If that's not a Wayne or Eric original idea, please hit CTRL-D.

You know, those screws almost kept me from getting a K2 since I equated
"sticking-out" screws with somebody's homebrew work.
