My luck my mom would get in her got to cleaning moods and toss it out. I dreaded the summer camps or weeks with Grandmas. Come home and room would be in a new color, clothes and toys given away. Even now she CAN'T resist the urge to box and hide my things. :D

I was thinking that with the lid closed, it won't be much tempting for a potential thief, but it depends in how hungry the thief is... :)

Of course you can use cheese as glue to keep the components from moving
around. What do you use for connectors: ethernet, usb, etc ? Mini green peppers? :lol:

One of these days I've got to upload the photos of a set of computers I built. They're not quite Pizza Box Laptop awful, but they're pretty close. I called them the Paper Tiger series... silly me...

Lotsa pix tho so it'll probably get its own thread.

They are going to Latin American Countries that need vehicles.

Ford Pickups are a favorite. My 67 was stolen and stripped and burnt in Mexico.
So was my 71 cherry red Chevy Nova. I keep my toys now behind a big white fence guarded by 6 dogs.

It is still the wild west out here. :lol:
In Oregon, that towing setup would be illegal!
I know because I checked into it once thinking of towing more than one vehicle.

No, no. I saw the photo and made me smile so I thought that you may find it funny too.

I saw the photo as a bullet here http://www.fabio.com.ar/6151

Advice: some bullets might be a little NSFW.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

And you don't need to know the language. Unless it's a picture of some text. :wink:

I couldn't read any thing on the page Galbi gave but can understand the pictures no problemo. :D

Shucks.
It did, but not as much as project photos would have.
I would enjoy seeing some projects involving "alternative computer cases"...stuff that does not look like it would be a computer.
(And thanks for pointing out where it came from, but I'd rather avoid NSFW stuff.)

An idea I keep thinking about is a wooden-cased "luggable"--with a knife switch for the ultimate reset.

Few days ago I saw photos of Google's first server. The post said due to lack of money they built the startup's server with lego bricks and some plastic sheet. I don't know if it's true but seems ok.

Thanks for the URL, Galbi. I understand Spanish a little (just a little!).
Interesting concept, for a site!

I thought this one from the "ruletta rusa" list was quite telling: :shock:

Sorry musher0, I didn´t catch this:

You mean something related to the said: "the one that comes from the right, has the right to pass."

Hi, Galbi.

Not quite, although in the context, it could be funny...

What I mean, bluntly: If that picture is not from Australia or Great
Britain or some other country where the driver of the car is seated on the
right-hand side of the car, the driver of that car has most likely been
killed by that tramway... :(

The driver is the "logical being" and the accident is the
"substraction" (Gee, I'm complicated!)

On the same dark humor note, in my country, there is a highway/street
regulation that says that a pedestrian is always right, even if he or she
has been squished by a car... As I said... dark humor. :twisted:

BFN.
