  1. Duh, PU Foam! by aardwolf204 · · Score: 1 · on Really Stylish PCs and Peripherals

    You know, nothing says stylish like a polyurethan foam case. I hear they're big with the ladies too!

  2. Case? What Case? by colonslashslash · · Score: 3, Funny · on How Cheap Can A PC Be?
    Even for word processing, you will need a decent size ram, hard drive, motherboard, ethernet port, case.

    Cases are for whimps! ;)

  3. Re:Why waste $3.00.. by Graff · · Score: 3, Funny · on Melamine Ceiling Tiles and the Quiet PC
    you can get a can of Expanding Foam for $2.79 at Home Depot. Just stick the nozzle into the fan grille opening and fill 'er up till foam comes out the floppy drive slot and all 8 corners.

    You mean like this guy did?
  4. Slick by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on 17" Monitor Case Modding -- The "iMike"

    This is pretty nice, but still not as good looking as this one.

  5. Re:Am I missing something? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Beautiful Case Modding

    A wooden case isn't as crazy as encasing a system in what the modder describes as an inflammmable blob of foam. Granted, the material used was indeed non-flammable, but would you trust someone who would write, "It's heat resistant up to 100C and more or less in-flammable (ie. fireproof)," to do your case mod?

    I find it startling that he still hasn't discovered the error, even after the initial burst of publicity.

    You may want to have a look at the 'caseless' computer. Dunno how cool it runs, but it appears to run.

    This is probably a good start...

  8. The solution by Drunken_Jackass · · Score: 1 · on Computers That Thrive in Salty, Humid Environments?

    You could always go this route. I think it would solve the watertight/vibration sensitivity issues, plus i'd be willing to bet it floats too!

  9. Never have to leave? by handsomepete · · Score: 3, Funny · on Jacuzzi with 42'' Plasma TV

    Now all you'd have to do is mod the tub with a computer and wireless internet, and you'd never have to leave!

    Good thing that the NHP 200NC "case" floats (although not completely waterproof)... might destroy the look, though. Now if only I could fit this thing into my parent's basement... oh yeah, and could afford it.

    Personally, I think this one is much sexier ;-D

    Ok, the foam is an obvious issue, but..

    He's running Windows (cheap shot)
    It's an Apple HDD (look carefully at the label)
    Is that a Voodoo in there? (check out that classic loopback cable)
    That's an old NIC (planning on using a transceiver?)

    Yeah, I know his specs are listed at the top of the page, but I guess it was just kinda fun to point the out.
