Themed box for SM-LAN 07

[the_technocrat]

Hey!

I'm using SM-LAN_07 as an excuse to build a gaming rig. If you've got a theme you want to see, I'll see what I can do. (I'm bored with the 400 gray boxes I play with in my 9-5... or 7-3... whatever.

Throw a bunch of ideas out there, and I'll put a poll up, winner in the poll decides the theme of the box. :D

[the_technocrat]

...and yes, I know I'm asking for it...

but I like the challenge...

[Clutch]

Yellow and black lights, lots of them. Because yellow and black have to be like the most badass of badass color combos you can ever have.

What are your case modding capabilities? :)

[Mt_Goat]

How about a Jenna Jamison case?

[the_technocrat]

fairly significant. Feel free to go nuts. :D

[the_technocrat]

hehehe, might make for an interesting place to stick a usb thumbdrive

[primesuspect]

a Snuffie case :p

[the_technocrat]

a Snuffie case :p

:) (I had to google 'snuffle'... I assume you're talking about your dog, and not the fetish related to cartoon-inspired "happy" snuff films...?

Or perhaps a mixture of both... hmm....

Or maybe a snuffle-mountable rig? How big is the dog?

[QCH]

;D Ask Prof ;D

[profdlp]

Holy cow... :rolleyes:

[QCH]

All love Prof... :D

[Lincoln]

It's Snuffie with an 'I'. Search the forums and I'm sure you'll find pics ;)

[profdlp]

Yeah, put that on your case and bring it to the LAN. :grumble:

I friggin' dare you! :rarr:

(I bet Q had something to do with this. Just wait - you'll get yours, pal. :ninja: )

[QCH]

I bet Q had something to do with this. Just wait - you'll get yours, pal.Huh? ME???? :bigggrin:


No really, I did NOT have anything to do with the above. Actually I haven't indoctrinated Techno to the "RED ROCKET" jokes!!! Now I have too.... :p

[GHoosdum]

a Snuffie case :p

That was my first thought the instant I read the request.

It has to be Snuffie! :bigggrin:

[CB]

A case that looks like a stack of Geography textbooks.

[profdlp]

What's this infatuation with that Prof-molesting pooch? :werr:

[primesuspect]

"Peter's leg" being a possessive, you should have put an apostrophe on that gravestone ;)

Dick! :mad:

I did, but it didnt (sic) work. (http://www.jjchandler.com/tombstone/) :rolleyes:

Did Kwitko put you up to this? :shakehead

[primesuspect]

indirectly, yes.. You could say "Inspired by Kwitko" ;D

[the_technocrat]

Alright LANners. Only idea so far is a Jenna Jameson case, and if I did that, it would definitely be NSFW. Prob not a good idea if I don't want to find my possessions on the lawn when I get home.

I'm hearing that we'll be doing some BF2? Q? Yes? Any other inspiration anyone wants to see? I'll probably auction/sell the machine off afterwards, so any requests?

[QCH]

There will be an announcement coming regarding the LAN. More of an info post really.. But, yes, Battlefield 2 is one of the games.... :D

[Buddy J]

I wish I had a system that can handle BF2... Anyone up for some hardcore Scorched Earth action? lol

My advice: Nobody else bid on the_technocrat's box so I can get it cheap :D

[drasnor]

My lappy can do 1942 and mods but not BF2.

I will play Scorch with you. Are we going classic or new school (http://www.scorched3d.co.uk/)?

-drasnor :fold:

[Buddy J]

I've played both. I don't think my little Macbook can handle Scorched3D, so I'll have to play classic. Graphics intensive stuff owns me.

How about an Icrontic-themed box? :cool: I'd give you a sneak peek so you could get started...

I think that would be fitting seeing the occasion and all...

cheers :jared:
