The "Spider Case"

Kadagan AU submitted linkage to one of the more impressive case mods I've seen in awhil, The Spidercase. It's not really an option if you don't have much desk space to spare, but it sure is cool.

I could use this by SirLantos · 2003-09-30 02:23 · Score: 3, Funny

I have this one user who destroys a computer everytime he walks within 10 feet of it. He also hates spiders....maybe I can keep him away from the computers if they all look like that.

I don't think I've ever seen an "awhil" for that matter.
I think that th problm is that his '' ky isn't working proprly (th ky btwn 'w' and 'r').

Cation Strongly Urged by Doesn't_Comment_Code · 2003-09-30 02:30 · Score: 1, Funny

New Users are strongly cationed not to sneak up on Spider Case, as it seems to sense danger moments before an incident. Accordingly, powering off the machine and taking back the CD's you placed in its drive are particularly difficult.

Also, please cover all media and other damagable items as the Spider Case occasionally squirts a very sticky weblike substance that has the strength of a steel cable 10 times its diameter. Not to worry, this will disolve within several hours.

Also, if you walk into your office to find the the Spider Case on the wall, or on the ceiling, PLEASE DO NOT RETURN Spider Case. This is a FEATURE, not a malfunction.

After waiting 10 minutes for the page to load I realized something... Some people have way too much free time on their hands.
Yes, you do. Get back to work or you're fired. -Your boss.

When you say "some people have too much time on their hands", are you talking about the guy that made the case mod, or the guy that spent 10 minutes waiting for pictures of a case mod? ;)

The red lights on the front count 7. A spider has eight eyes. I'd have thought he could have managed to get that right
