Themed box for SM-LAN 07

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.

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.

How about a Jenna Jamison case?

(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?

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

It has to be Snuffie!

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

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?

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

My lappy can do 1942 and mods but not BF2.

I will play Scorch with you. Are we going classic or new school?

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.
