It better not be an enclosure contest.
[QUOTE=codenamecueball;26040439]So basically we could make a sexy case and then you give us a drive and ac converter board and shit[/QUOTE] Basically what's going to happen is that you have to make a container that will hold a Hard Disk Drive of given dimensions, as well as an electronic panel that converts AC power to SATA power and USB to SATA. Whoever wins receives a fantastical prize in which they will be granted a 262144000KB Data Storage Unit to place inside the famed creation.

:suicide: That one? [url=http://www.facepunch.com/misc.php]Here[/url] is the list btw. I'm down for alternate uses of (old) computer hardware or the case making. Why do I feel like either way I'm going to be using old computer parts?

Idea: most heinous misuse of hardware. Using something for purposes it was never intended to. For instance, using a heatsink and cooling fan to chill a beer.
Actually I would much rather see a case mod contest. Sure it would be limited to people with extra cases lying around/people who can afford to buy a new case and to people with the proper tools to do it. Sure most would get away with a dremel but if you wanna do something cool it's gonna cost. Still, if we had something like that which ran for a few months we could see some pretty interesting and down right amazing entries, probably mostly from folk who already do this as a hobby. Perhaps it would work better if there where two levels to it, a professional level where people with money/tools/time/skill get cracking to make art and an "average forum user" level where cardboard cases are acceptable entries (and could win if done right).
