Case Tweaking

Posted by Hemos on from the pretty-cool-hack dept.

A reader writes "I don't know what they were smoking, but these guys decided that the G4 case makes for a great LAN party box. Of course, without the G4 and all that yucky Mac hardware -- just the aesthetics. They go about hacking and modding the case, turning a low power (aka, weak) x86 box and toss it into the G4 casing, and don't end up destroying the case to make everything fit. Lotsa pictures and explanations of every step in the process"

    the case serves as an encryption device; by removing the insides of the case and using them for your own purposes, you are violating the DMCA! And you don't get any Fair Use here, because the hardware itself isn't audio. ;)

    I have a rackmount 4U AT (not ATX) case with 5.25" drive bays. Unused, nothing in it but a power supply. Anybody have any ideas on what to do with the thing?

    At least since he was 53, and that's just here on Slashdot.

    I see even classic Slashdot is now pretty much unusable on dial up anymore.
