Oh, and Unreal :smug: [editline]21st December 2010[/editline] You really suck :saddowns:
I mean like games released in the last 5 years. Imagine fitting a 9600GT into it for example. [editline]21st December 2010[/editline] fuck you :(

Odd, your browser normally refreshes the content when you press that. I wouldn't be surprised if their website is broken, but it worked fine for me.
[QUOTE=doonbugie2;26843199]Old CRT TV, Fit the motherboard in the back, have a LCD covering where the TV used to be. It would have to be flat on the front of the TV(Not the CRT screen its self)so you can fit in a LCD. Like the one below. It would be pretty cool.

Just pop a decent LCD in there and put some fairly powerful parts(Phenom II x4 955, GTX 460) and you have a pretty good LAN party case. Without all the weight of a CRT in there, it shouldn't weigh much at all when done, and comes with a handle.

[b]and again, would a case made out of lego bricks accumulate static electricity eternally killing the components within the case aka a plastic coffin![/b]
I've thought about putting my pc in one of these: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/aCe2E.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://imgur.com/aCe2E[/IMG] So if I go to a lan party they would be like "haha what a loo-wait what!?"

I could put thermite into the FDD and ignite it? and again, would a case made out of lego bricks accumulate static electricity eternally killing the components within the case aka a plastic coffin!

[QUOTE=EEvilMuffin;26851521]or guitar amp (I'm liking this idea).[/QUOTE] As do I, so I decided to pull a little 10w amp out of storage.

Also thinking about using the volume, gain, treble, bass, and middle knobs for fan speed control (just for fun, not like I would have several fans) or some such. It may actually be large enough to fit the entire build. The empty case: [URL=http://www.cubeupload.com/img/45984fbackgutted.jpg][IMG]http://www.cubeupload.com/files/thumbs/th.45984fbackgutted.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I'll probably tear apart a 120mm fan and mount it in the circular cutout somehow. Now I just have to hope that a job interview I have next week goes well so this project can get some funding. Ideas are more than welcome.

This was my idea for a [i]file[/i] server case I did last year when I was bored, [img]http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u101/JOVH/IMAGE_00080.jpg?t=1293009340[/img] If I had finished it and maybe attached another folder box to hide the front ports, dvd drive and for the psu to sit in, it could have been perfect to sit on a shelf with other files.
I'm surprised somebody has not mentioned a hollowed out book. It would be perfect for pico-itx. Well, it would have to be a big book... or maybe a router casing.
Can someone post that picture of that PC someone build on their wall? With every component exposed.

Got a feeling that everyone in this section is going to start a pico-itx build, thanks MacTrekkie.
Yeah, My amp is slightly bigger, but I might just build my own case unless I can't find something really interesting. I've been looking around my house and the neighborhood, and I'll post some pics of some stuff later.

Okay.
