Quiet Desk (Not Desktop) PC

Posted by michael on from the have-reciprocating-saw-will-travel dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "Rusty took a wholly different approach to PC noise: he built his XP1900+ machine right into the desk! While it may not make the PC industry scramble to define a new *desk* (not desktop) form factor, Rusty's inventive techniques will surely have computer hardware enthusiasts poring over his fine work."

    Props to the A.C. for being the first person I've seen use the word poring correctly on Slashdot.

    Actually, it's showing 12:58 PM because I did set my preferences. Had I not set my preferences, it would have shown something like 2AM.

    I'm using Australian Eastern Standard time. That's because I live in Australia. Notice how it's the middle of the day here, while it's the middle of the night in the USA. The comment I originally replied to was asking why people are reading Slashdot at the middle of the night. I was explaining that it's not the middle of the night for everyone.

    However, thank you. Your comment has brightened up my afternoon, as it's helped me kill off another few minutes as I wait for work to finish for the day.

    (Oh, and if anyone's interested, it's around 5PM as I post this...)

    Yes, it was a joke. I just wanted an excuse to make a hot wood reference... :)

    I love way the text has been translated - classic Japlish with a charmin folksy style.
