    So I usually sidestep the digg-vs-slashdot debate by stating that I believe the two sites cater to different-enough niches in the tech-news market. Digg can't kill slashdot, because it can't aim at it....

    Having said that, this story has been the top dugg article at digg all god-damned day. Yes, they also successfully provided a link to the damn article as well.

    /. is gonna be in serious trouble if they keep following digg, and so poorly and late. I imagine this is not the first 'digg-dupe' and i doubt it will be the last.

    Digg (or any site) can't have a monopoly on cool tech links, but they are really starting to get the drop on /. more and more...

      But the comments at digg are even more pathetic than here at /. We have plenty of retartds and trolls, but they seem to have an endless supply of high schoolers and nothing else.

      I like the story system over there for promoting articles, but the comments and community have a long way to go.

    The microwave one is actually very convenient. I'd love it if I could get to the innards by just grabbing the screen and pulling.

    Seems relatively easy too, compared to other case mods.

    Where did I see this? Hmm, let's look at the /. writeup again...

    Not that much work apparently since it isn't a case. It's just a lifesize plastic anime girl with PC components bolted to its back.

    If it hadn't been made for a magazine, it probably would have been much more creative. As it is, it's just a sculpture in front of some hardware.

    Very disapointing IMO.

    Has anyone made a realdoll case yet ?
