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.

Since the site is already very slow for images, I cached the large version of the final image here. Enjoy!

Techtv case mod contest by I+am+Kobayashi · 2003-09-30 02:27 · Score: 5, Informative

Techtv Just had a case mod contest. This article is about a mod that was too heavy to qualify for the contest, at the bottom of the page under "related stories" are links to the 4 contest finalists. Some pretty unbelievable cases IMHO.

Mirror of HardOCP forum thread by Rufus211 · 2003-09-30 02:33 · Score: 4, Informative

I remembered seeing this a couple of days ago on HardOCP's boards. I mirrored the thread about it (as /.'ing a bboard is not too nice) which has quite a few pictures and some talk:

(and yes, I did just download the 4 individual pages and cat them together =P)
Minor suggestion: by Stephen+Samuel · 2003-09-30 02:41 · Score: 4, Insightful

If he plugs the upper middle hole, it should look more like the 'spider' has two eye groups. Like this (GIMP edited image).

Spidercase, Spidercase
It's proactive and in your face
Crawls the web, really quick
It kinda looks like a bloated tick
Look out, here comes the Spidercase.

Crawled up the network pipe.

This ain't about you. This is about him. You want a boring box, he wants a work of art. More power to him.

Wearing Gloves by lefticus · 2003-09-30 03:44 · Score: 5, Informative

As someone who has a decent amount of woodworking experience, I can say DO NOT follow this guys advice of wearing gloves when working with table saws, routers, etc. If the glove gets caught in a machine (and proceeds to pull your hand in) you are going to be in a whole lot more pain than a little one stitch nick with a table saw.

#1 Rule: Always were safety glasses
#2 Rule: NEVER wear things that can get caught in the machine, neck ties, necklaces, GLOVES. Some people even take off thier wedding rings.
