Beautiful Case Modding
Miles S.F. writes "Thought you guys might appreciate this little project I've been working on.
This is what happens when the left and right brain get bored and start talking with each other." Excellent case mods, entertaining reading, good ideas, and a solid site design. Worth a read if only to see the case modded to include a furby.
What's the advantage of having to click your case to get at the power supply?

I'm sorry to disagree with the modder, but to WAKE a furby you shake it. To make it COO, you turn it upside down. The fact that I know this is quite sad.

I am now boycotting www.designmethod.com.
Apparently I am too, since the site is slashdotted.
right now i'm working on building a custom little case small enough to fit underneath the passenger seat of my car, an lcd monitor, a mini keyboard, and i can watch divx on the road, which, in all reality, would be an improvement over my normal driving ability!

Maybe you should check your browser / plugin can handle flash movies before visiting a flash only site?

> Thought you guys might appreciate this little project I've been working on
is he ASKING to be slashdotted? what is he, insane?
"Be sure to wet the towel first as they tend to catch fire rather easily"
Was this something you found out from personal experience or just an old case modder's maxim that you're repeating for the sake of posterity?

No, schizophrenia is what happens when the left and right brain get bored and start talking with each other.

Cogito ergo sum in Slashdot.
I've heard that in the sequel, Vin Diesel hooks a supercharger up to his case fan on his laptop.

You thought wrong.
He spends all that time modding multiple cases and a monitor, and there are no Legos in sight! A truly sweet case mod without Legos is like a peanut butter sandwich without jelly.
I think I've discovered two constants in the universe.
1) Slashdot will post just about any case mod "story" that gets submitted.
2) People who submit case-mod "stories", even with the knowledge of what the Slashdot Effect is, will gladly let their web-server burst into flames just so people can see what shaky-handed work they did with a Dremel tool and a piece of aluminum.
I plan to over the winter build a PC into the base of a sofa - iwill act as main file server for mp3's. Makes alot of sence as there is plenty of space and any heat would only act as a heated seat :D. There is also the aspect of having one hell of a noise sepretion unit aka the sofa itself. Of coarse one vigarous romantic fling on said sofa would risk the chance of actualy crashing the server, so a strong sofa will be procured forsafty reasons. I appreciate that it wont have many flashing blueled fans and the like with disco lighting extreme inside but it does pose a pratical use of space and natural sound proofing without excessive costs in uber expensive magneto electro fans with climate controlled RPM and in built drivers for most games - but thats half the fun isn't it.
Of course it's overloaded. Here's what the guy did:
1.) Create web page with huge multimedia files.
2.) Submit to Slashdot story cue.
3.) Sit back and watch everything work.....smoothly?
Like making a raincoat out of toilet paper.
A better analogy would include gold plated cases that jumped up and down on hydraulic feet.
Um, Isn't it a little dangerous to take the cover off of your power supply? I've never tried it myself, but I've always heard that it was bad. I guess it's only dangerous if you touch it though. Good thing he put that handy little finger hole for the kids right in front of it.
What have you done to Stephen Hawking?
Noooo!!!!!!
Back in the day I modded my Furby so It would power on when my comp started up. It was annoying as hell, but it was kinda fun at LAN parties.
However, one of my buddies tried to copy me. Unfortunatly he didnt consult me first and ended up killing his new hard drive cause he had hooked up leads the wrong way.
The moral of the story is dont mess with furbies.
That is soooo wrong!
And a lil PS to all the whiny bitches complainin' bout the site. Boo freakin hoo, cry me a river. Flash may suck, but so did Java, and that didn't stop everyone from mounting it like a rabid dog, eh? Stop yer complainin' and enjoy some resonably-decent mods, wouldya?
If I knew the wedgies I gave you back in 6th grade would have resulted in this . . . I might have taken a moments pause.
I got into modding a few months ago and even got my wife tricking out her box.
Erm... Dare I even remark on the last half of that statement?
I haven't felt the need to shoot my box since canning WinME in favor of RH7.3.... Bye Bye Lexan...
OMG! he probably has ppower outlets in his house to!
sheesh. Assuming the child using the computer is at least 4, at worse hell get shot acros the floor and through a breaker. probably teach an important lesson.

Could you post a picture of that?
think about it, on his resume he can put:
"wrote flash program viewed by over 100,000 people!"
and
"/. did a story that used my flash skills"

Heroscape, it's like legos combined with anachronistic wargames.
Exactly. Which is why somebody needs to call up TLC and pitch them the idea for the show...

Just like a market sprang up to take advantage of idiot teenage kids by selling them coffee cans mufflers for $300 a piece, I'm sure an industry will also spring up to sell heatsinks engraved with Wozniak's autograph and licked by Torvalds' pet goat for $500 a pop.
No wait, how many of these teeny bopper leet-freaks even know who Woz is?
