But you definitely lack those ultra-fancy, Fast & Furious-style buttons for the CCMOS.🙂

We definitely need to throw some more ping-pong balls on the chassis... just to make it look... totally overkill.

At least throw a disco ball on there. 😵Maybe then it'll actually look intentional.

Why don't you guys just slap some wheels on it so we can actually roll it around??

That thing is clearly intended for LAN parties, for crying out loud.

You could pretty much strap a lawnmower engine to it, sit on the chassis, and just cruise straight to the next LAN party.😁

Heh, yeah, and at least you've got your own ride too.

Man, when I think back on the transportation situation, it was easily the absolute worst part. Getting somewhere is one thing, but trying to figure out how to get back home... it was a nightmare until my driver's license finally arrived 😁; just in time for me to be able to drive myself.

It’s actually pretty simple enough to get out there, but once you have to head back home... well, let's just say things got tricky until my driver's license finally arrived 😁—which happened right as I was officially allowed to get behind the wheel!

Hey, does anyone happen to know how I can finally get rid of these messy cables? They’re just cluttering up my desk way too much
Does anyone know where I can pick up something like this http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/2...lovinjero6.jpg
Razarach, please forgive me for using your photo—I honestly couldn't find any other decent ones online!

One could simply purchase a length of water hose, slice it open, and wrap it around the cables.

You can find similar narrow plastic tubing in various colors at Spotify, and they aren't nearly expensive enough to $13 justify the effort of digging through all those cables!!!

Well, you went ahead and picked those translucent blue ones, didn't you?

I honestly don't see where you guys are coming from—you can keep all those fans! Personally, when I start feeling the chill, my solution is much more direct:
underfloor heating
on a mesh substrate, 2.2 mm diameter, perfect for retrofitting
into both new builds and existing homes, with a power output of 135 W / m2
heating area 1 m2 = $390, $0.00
heating area 2 m2 = $590, $0.00
heating area 3 m2 = $790, $0.00
SKU 107859 - 13472831
Price: starting at $390

Maybe I should just throw in a radiator too

600 x 600 mm = 364 W = $63
600 x 600 mm = 1012 W = $96
600 x 800 mm = 1346 W = $130
600 x 1000 mm = 1683 W = $163
600 x 1600 mm = 2693 W = $263
600 x 1200 mm = 2020 W = $196
600 x 1400 mm = 2356 W = $230
SKU 103210 - 13472109
Price: starting at $189

Available at Home Depot
(Just kidding, obviously!)

Pevec? 🙏 Please. Zivic is the gold standard; they have everything you could possibly need. I picked up my own supplies there for $0.80. (I'm being dead serious)

I usually secure my cables using plastic zip ties

Using zip ties is fine, I guess, but if you’re running a clear case, it looks like absolute garbage unless you actually take the time to tuck all those cables out of sight!

You could always just use black or UV zip ties and handle the job neatly.
