The Bender PC Case

malorkus writes "This Norwegian site details the process of building an awesome Bender (from Futurama) case mod, complete with an Optical drive in his mouth that you slot CDs into! (Be sure to click the link at the bottom of the page to see the next page in the sequence)." This is one of the most impressive DIY cases I've ever seen. Props to the artists behind this one, even if I can't read any of your words!

So which is it?

You know, a part of me says these guys need to get a life.

And another part of me says this is a really cool waste of time.

a part of me says these guys need to get a life.

Sometimes I wonder what people mean by this phrase. "get a life"-- what does one need to do to qualify as having a life? I'm assuming that this is the stereotypical checklist for those seeking a life:

• Job
• spouse
• house
• 401K plan
• kids

People like Jeff Hornby (no flame intended for the parent poster) must look at these Norwegians and assume that they're not sufficiently burdened by the items on this list such that they have free time to pursue hobby activities like this casemod. Perhaps when people say, "get a life," it's out of jealousy from the perspective of someone who feels bogged down by their own life and they wish for others to become similarly restrained.

I personally think all of our lives would be less interesting if everyone had "a life."

you miserable bastard. the guy mirrors articles for the benefit of the community at large, and you call him a "karma whore"?

Because of course everyone is just desperate for karma, i know i personally wouldn't even get out of bed if i wasn't going to earn slashdot karma for it - its a big part of my life.
