  • Jorlwind, on 10/16/2007, -1/+203Hell, if it gets the job done who am I to complain?

    I just hope it has good cooling. He basically wrapped potentially hot parts in a tinderbox and sealed it with duct-tape.
  • timjbart, on 10/10/2007, -2/+157Isn't that a fire hazard?
  • m3t00, on 10/10/2007, -1/+111pic of a booted shell prompt or it didn't happen
  • chris9902, on 10/10/2007, -5/+101lol. A girl using Linux. good one.
  • CraigCarlyle, on 10/17/2007, -2/+95Apparently Linux users only hate two things, Microsoft and Mormans.

  • wedderburn, on 11/07/2007, -2/+91damn wish i could afford that mod :D
  • ninxmz, on 10/10/2007, -2/+89Dugg for hilariously atrocious handwriting.
  • smacksaw, on 10/17/2007, -2/+84I've always been perturbed by the Mormons irrational hate of Open Source and their constant alliances with Microsoft.
  • thinkingserious, on 10/10/2007, -7/+80damn, this made me lol... good description
  • raynar, on 10/10/2007, -1/+72Ubuntu Feisty: 0$. Cardboard box: 0$. Duct tape: 1$. Lifetime supply of girl-repellant: priceless.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+63Make your own, you lazy dumbass.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+61I give it a week before the case finally catches on fire
  • Disjunto, on 10/10/2007, -0/+57how often is your computer made of cardboard?
  • raptordrew, on 10/10/2007, -1/+58At least when he talks about his "linux box," he's being quite literal
  • caled, on 10/10/2007, -4/+60are we talking macbooks or dells, here?
  • sirber, on 10/10/2007, -2/+58It can be shipped in it's own box!
  • Powerdrift, on 10/10/2007, -0/+47Haha, it's even got tools in it!
  • smedrick, on 10/10/2007, -2/+46I love the screwdriver holder. Every case needs something like that.
  • DrStrabismus, on 10/10/2007, -3/+46"Screw Mormons"

    I wonder if he means Mormons like this: http://googlegirls.files.wordpress.com/2006/02/mormon.jpg
  • bronkenwrists, on 10/10/2007, -0/+38Great "out of the box" experience... huh... wait...
  • CrazedGeek, on 10/10/2007, -0/+37It seems like sarcasm, but appears to be sincere.
  • raynar, on 11/06/2007, -1/+38just means she's large and smells like Doritos
  • geoboy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+36Mormans? That guy is such a moran!
  • Random832, on 10/10/2007, -0/+33Just about every case _except_ this one needs a screwdriver holder. This one needs a holder for a spare roll of duct tape.
  • Jonny0stars, on 10/10/2007, -1/+33Reminds me of pizza box Linux http://www.linuxjournal.com/articles/lj/0070/3796/3796f3.png
  • RedRummy, on 10/10/2007, -6/+37why?
    how often does you computer burst into flames?
  • NJank, on 10/16/2007, -0/+29which, without proper ventilation, will just add to the heat load... my convection oven has a fan, too.
  • RedRummy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+28I'll get you one for £50
  • mindsnare, on 10/10/2007, -0/+27cmon now we've all made ghetto boxes in our time when your super fancy case hasn't arrived yet.
    here's mine http://www.spiraloz.com/unrelated/ghettobox2.jpg
  • wedderburn, on 10/10/2007, -2/+28you're a ***** on so many levels.
  • Seph7, on 10/10/2007, -2/+28So who else is so tempted to build one of these right now?
  • xtmno3, on 10/16/2007, -0/+24So, all case fans are magically frictionless and 100% efficient? If not, it generates additional heat.
  • Frecklefoot, on 10/10/2007, -7/+30You can tell the guy's a real Brainiac. Not only does he hate Mormons, he can't even spell it right.
  • Trax91, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23Poke holes?
  • phr0ze, on 11/07/2007, -0/+21The money he saved, he just spent on bandwidth.
  • orvtech, on 10/10/2007, -3/+24lol ... look at my $79 server :D http://orvtech.com/Photos.html
  • Stitzu, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21Haha, this isn't as bad as my server... doesn't even get cardboard box... just a bunch of hardware lying on the floor under my desk ;)
  • richardiscool, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19Hahahahahahahahahaha.
  • geminitojanus, on 10/16/2007, -1/+20You paid for it even if you pirated it; Microsoft doesn't care if the few pirate their OS, you're just re-enforcing their dominance.

    It'll come back to bite you in the end though; one of these days they're going to slip some crap into Windows that starts forwarding Microsoft details about your hardware, Windows Genuine Supreme Convenience Package, and when they come knocking at your door asking for a check*, it's going to be a lot harder to deny them their payout.

    *:only in America.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+22Get a
    BRAIN!
    MORMANS



    GO USA
  • penno, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19there's other things in the world to hate?
  • diggsIt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17That's nice, but I need a smaller form factor. Can I get linux in a shoe box?
  • ScottMaximus1, on 10/10/2007, -3/+19go USA
  • init100, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15"Even Hotmail, owned by M$ is run with Linux."

    Correction: It ran on FreeBSD, but it no longer does, according to reputable sources. It nowadays runs Windows Server 2003.
  • usherzx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16I like the way you talk.
  • winmywii, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16You can beat that Google ad at the top of this page on digg. "Mature PicFree to Join. 1000's of pictures & video's of Beautiful Senior Singleswww.SeniorPeopleMeet.com." Now that's targeted.
  • m3t00, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16Polygamy not only rhymes with monopoly they are the same ideology, one applied to computers and one to biology. Open Source must seem like what happens when Mr. Mormon leaves for work and the wives invite the milkman in for cookies.
  • mark579, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15But what does he even need tools for? He doesn't need them to take it apart..
  • eggo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15Yes, but unfortunately, his fire prevention system is also made from cardboard.
