Iris Indigo Case Mod

  1. Case mods...off topic by TeldakSS · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Maybe you should make Case Mods a seperate category of news. I mean, lately there have been about 1 a day. that should be enough, considering some categories come up RARELY (Amiga, MacOS, etc).
    Just a suggestion.

      a quick search for 'Case Mods' down at the bottom of the screen turns up dozens of subjects that have more to do with court cases than PC cases.

      That said, 99% of the casemods, radical overclockings, unique PC hacks I read come from slashdot. Why not make a 'Hardware Hacks' (Suggestion: Hacksaw Icon) area that deals with things like this and then keep the Hardware area pure for people who are interested in reading about new kinds of hardware, or the recent 'Intel likes DDR Ram' stories we've been seeing.

    SGI has a log history of cool mods.

    While I was working there, folks pointed out the Espressigo.

    How about instead of 3-4k posts of "This doesn't belong here" on _every_ single article, you people simply send your complaints to the editors?
