      Nah

      I think it would be cool to lug that thing in the airport hidden in a bag to fly down to the latest quakecon or doomcon convention! Wouldn't you agree?

    I forgot to buy a case... So I carved out holes for the video card, and mouse/keyboard out of the cardboard box my motherboard was sent in. I don't leave the thing on overnight in case of fire though.

      A friend of mine has built a server by nailing all the components onto a simple piece of wooden plank. The server is also called 'plank'. He said: "Who needs a metal case anyway?". So we replied: "Those that care about electromagnetism damaging our components."

      So now he has chicken-mesh over it.

    is the R2D2 case. What detail! Someone must have freeze framed
    Starwars frame by frame and blown up all the images of R2
    and then measured the photos. Bet that case could win a scale
    model contest.

    The toilet case was real shitty. (sorry about that chief!).

    On Crushridge i was buying crystals for 12g and then transmuting(paying 5g for the transmute) and auctioning off the bars for 30g. Had that going on for about a month till people realized they could do the same and price of arcanite bars normalized to around 18g.
