Indiglo Clock Case Mod

WEEEEEEE writes "Just saw over at GideonTech where they just put up a new Indiglo clock mod for a computer case. With avid LAN party go'ers around here, seems like a easy to do mod to keep track of time while you're fraggin' away. More on it over the HOWTO area."

This feels like there is like one casemod story to many. - Ok, we get it. You can drill holes, put lights, glasses - etc. etc. in your cases. - HotRod Cars has been around for ages, nothing really new about em.

Only thing that happens is that /. will kill yet another cablemodem or overtraffic som poor bastards co-loc account.

Now all my system needs...

is an old CD-ROM converted into a cupholder, and a peltier-based beverage cooler. Swank!

Wait a minute... I saw this on H*R!

"So, Bubs... how's it coming?"
"Oh, hey Strong Bad. I think I'm almost finished. It took me a little while to figure out what I was gonna do. Then I duct taped an alarm clock to your VCR!"
"Duct taped an alarm clock to the VCR. See, I never woulda thought of that. Ok, there's some hairs that are seemed to be stuck in the duct tape here. Was that on purpose?"
"Oh. No. That's just left over from my first idea, which was to duct tape The Cheat to your VCR. He wasn't into that."
"Oh, I coulda told you that, man. Well anyways, thanks for your help, Bubs... and thank you, Cory Dewey-Smith. Sooo... join us next week when we'll be duct taping clocks to all kinds of different stuff."

Slashdot needs a separate computers MOD topic

[forged]

Did we mention that Slashdot needs to create a computers MOD section ? This would be attractive to many, i.e. even to you since you could disable this topic in your preferences if you didn't like it.

Such topic would also make grouping mods together very easy, in order to come back to them later for example at the time you need the most (inspiration, inspiration...;)

Re:Slashdot is just dying

They're the kind of people that glittery casemods attract, and they're the exact people slashdot should NOT cater to, as they're alienating their core audience.

And you think you're part of that core audience? You have a SID well past the half-million mark, which means, unless your account is a dupe, you haven't been here very long at all. I happen to be one of those "nu-geeks", who also happens to have been a member since '98.

Perhaps the core audience (re: key demographic) is somebody who reads the page, clicks the links, and buys the merchandise! Who better than those college freshmen/high school seniors with all that glorious disposable income.

If you think there's any such thing as a single community here, you're sadly mistaken. There hasn't been a single community since I started reading /. There are, instead, many communities, which /. happily caters to by posting stories that might interest people in those communities.

And who's to say the people who know more than "jack shit" don't happen to like casemodding and hardware news as much as your "nu-geeks"? Not everybody is as willing to pigeonhole themselves as you apparently are.

(OT) Finally, I'd just like to mention that I'm getting slightly sick of all the elitest snobbery amongst the "Linux Gurus" around here. I have 5 machines, all well used, running Windows, Linux, Freebsd, and (gasp) OS 9. That doesn't make my penis any larger, that doesn't make me live any longer, and that doesn't make me want to prance around like some kind of lord.

You talk about the people installing linux and using it for a week as if it's supposed to be a bad thing. At least they're trying something new. Maybe they'll try it again, maybe not. I do know this, though. If I'd seen people acting as piggish as the *nix elite around here, and hadn't had the support of the few people willing to help me surmount the ridiculously steep learning curve, I probably would have deleted it too.
