A link would be nice...

This is slashdot... nobody follows the link anyway.

I used to do this

... And I am still using my last built one. I build them for reliability and performance now, unlike before, when I was building just for looks(and to show off my e-penis power) Even though some of these case mods are very odd, doesn't matter, as long as they are reliable and cheap-decently priced. The only people who focus on doing so are what we so gracefully call "n00bs" in computer games, but I must admit, at least they are taking a road to understand IT, unlike many people I know. I forever will suspect we will be a proud 'deviant' few who understand and take interest in computers, contrary to popular belief that everyone will know about how to use computers.

Cheers,
Happy Holidays

Nothing innovative here, move along

A few weeks back slash had an article on weird USB drives. My comment for that is the same for this one, you can carve space out of ANYTHING and turn it into a PC case.

Case modding is like, the car with a lawn on it. The scene is mostly filled up with cheesy ricer neon mods with everyone trying to see who can make the weirdest case possible.

I think the last great innovation I saw in a case was on the blue apple G3 tower. I hate macs, but man, the swingout motherboard on that case was sweet. Actually, the shuttle cases and form factor were pretty innovative, but they are sort of hard to work on being such a cramped space.

Cases can be an extension of ones personality, but between the toilet bowl case, and the manga bit boobie girl, you have to wonder whats goin on in these folks minds.

Anyways, I hope folks stop going nuts over these lame cases. It's getting old.

I followed the link...

And I wish I hadn't... I'm ok with most of the fluff posts as I find them vaguely interesting. These mods are all really stupid. Most of them have already been posted on Slashdot before too... It's basically a no link dupe, amazingly enough.

The New "Slashdot Interactive"

[Rick.C]

We're listening to you, our loyal Slashdot audience. You said, "Stop Slashdotting small, defenseless sites, you big meanies!" And so we have.

Here's the deal: We publish a story without any links and you get to search for TFA. (Of course, many Slashdotters who never read TFA will see no difference, but it does cut down on the mindless link clicking by those who are just bored.)

This new Slashdot feature is available to both subscribers and non-subscribers, but subscribers get to start searching first!.

I know you're joking, but what's wrong with global stories? So you don't live there, and it doesn't concern you, but someone lives there, and it for sure concerns them, and given the large amount of users on Slashdot, some of them probably live there too. If you don't like it, don't read it.
