    I'd think god would have steadier hands with a dremel tool....

  2. Call to MS X-Box support... by Realistic_Dragon · · Score: 5, Funny

    My XBox DVD Rom drive is broken.
    <MS> Ok, no problem sir, we can replace it - is your warranty still valid?
    <owner> Well, it's in date...
    <MS> Have you done anything like adding a new hard disk sir?
    <owner> Errr, no... not as such... just some small comsmetic changes in fact.
    <MS> Stickers? Those are covered.
    <owner> Not exactly.
    <MS> Paint? I think we can live with that.
    <owner> Well, I sort of ripped it apart and made a new case for it.
    <MS> ?!
    <owner> Which glows. But thats not why it's broken! I never went near the DVD with the hammer when I was taking the case apart.
    <MS> !!
    <owner> Hey, when you take it back for repair, you will be careful not to scratch the pexi glass right? Or break the soldering on the new LEDs.
    <click - call terminated>

  3. Quick Capsule Review by Nathdot · · Score: 5, Interesting

    To quote the late great Bill Hicks:

    "Quick Capsule Review: 'Piece Of Shiiit!'"

    Seriously. It's fucken ugly. There's a reason more manufacturers out there aren't investigating clear perspex. Computer insides are not aesthetically pleasing.

    So the next time you're thinking about modding your boxen stop and say to yourself: "Can I do better than simply dumping my computer's insides into a fish tank?"... The answer, if you're wondering, is a resounding yes.

    Most ultimate is more bester than just plain ultimate.

    Give the dude some credit now. It takes talent to turn a $179 computer into a $600 computer.
