The Funniest Places for Hardware Stickers?

Posted by Cliff on from the mischievous-locations dept.

Nice2Cats asks: "So after buying another piece of computer hardware, I am stuck with more of those stickers that some silly person in marketing actually thinks I'm going to slap on my computer. The problem is, I'm running out of other places to put then (throwing them away would show a lack of creativity, and is out of the question). I already have one on my drill ('Sound by Hercules') and my table saw is 'Dual BIOS'; I also probably have the world's only vacuum sweeper and lawn mower that claim to be made by Apple. I don't want the stuff on my car, my wife draws the line at our toilet cover -- where have other Slashdot readers put these stickers? Where is the most awesome place you have seen, say, that white Apple?"

  2. Best I ever saw by zogger · · Score: 2, Interesting
    ...was at a concert back in the 60s, saw a shapely lass walking around with two STP stickers on instead of a normal top.

    Although I am not sure if this is classed as hardware or software....

  3. Going Mach 1 straight up by DynaSoar · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I put an old rainbow Apple sticker and and equally old Elephant Memory Systems sticker on one of my high power rockets, and sent them past Mach 1. The (vinyl) Apple sticker came back on the rocket. The (paper) EMS sticker is still up there for all I know.

  4. On a $1M Tandem.... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My former employer DC'ed some Tandem (Now HP Non-stop) servers, called Himalaya K1000's.

    VERY expensive machines when new. Nice black roll around case about 5 feet high, 2 wide, with a swing open front door. I took it home, gutted out all the internals, and now it contains not only my PC internals, but also an HP/UX 133MHZ system, and a beer cooler in the bottom.

    And a nice Intel Inside sticker!

    Here is the pic!
