Aluminum Server Case Review

Posted by michael on from the space-age-materials dept.

Anonymous Coward writes: "Hi guys, Here is a review of the Lian Li PC626, which is a server case made entirely out of aluminium. Unex from Belgium :)" Or aluminum, which is the only proper spelling, of course. Are these cases actually worth the premium price? I may be having heat problems (for the first time) with our latest PC purchase, so I'm suddenly more interested in cooling...

    As a proud member of the strongest english speaking nation around (America)... I must say that these little spelling wars are pretty damn good entertainment.

    America, and Americans, by their birthright, and history have a DUTY (not just a right) to fudge "proper" english spelling.

    For one thing, it clearly identifies our differences from you Brits/Scots/Welsh/Whatever the hell you're calling yourself these days.

    For another, it's fun, watching you all get your "knickers" twisted in knots over something as stupid as the lack of a letter "I" in something.

    And for the last, we have smart bombs. Lots of em. You use your white out, we'll use our white PHOSPHOROUS out. So there. Take that.

    And for a reference to our national differences, let's take a look at just WHY we spell things differently/call things differently than you Brits.

    1. Bobbies. Calling cops bobbies over here in the US implies little pink dresses and such. Hell, we call GIRLS over here Bobbie. Nothing wrong with it on YOUR side of the pond, just don't expect us to follow suit.

    2. Picadilly Square. What the HELL does that mean? Times Square, Madison Square Garden, etc... But what the F$SK is a Picadilly?

    3. You say Clotted Cream. I say put it back till it's finished clotting. That's some pretty damn sick shit.

    So go on, and stick your nose in the air about how superior your country is. Just don't try to sell us any spell checkers.

    krystal_blade, burnin karma...

  2. Why the inferiority complex, Euro-trash? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    You guys take this crap really seriously, dontcha? You do realize that we're just messing with you dumb-asses, right? Nah... You fools are breaking out the entire freakin' history of the periodic table.

    Maybe I can help you fools with the translation of the previous paragraph:

    English (slang) = dontcha
    Queens Babble = Don't you

    English (slang) = freakin'
    Queens Babble = bloody

    BTW: Who's speaks the more advanced version of the language? All Brits can understand Americans, but it doesn't work the other way around. All of your stupid accents just pollute the language. We speak a much cleaner language. (We dumb it down for all of the stupid immigrants)

    Alright.... I'm sorry guys, you do have some pretty good beer! (A little warm though)
