once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

The lower one doesn't look anything like that IRL. Those images are just sooo over-contrasted. Second one is pretty nice, though.

But, *shrug*, that's such a waste of money. Function>Form. That's why I dislike Apple.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Difference between this and Apple is that these do have function. A PC modder isnt going to do it with some POS system.

Apple sent me an email just before advertising "Brilliant gift ideas! ..... Give iPod!"

A million dollar pc that will be outta date in 3mo, I find it hard to even spend $2000 on a computer. I can see why max spends so much, because he is actually doing something important with his, me on the other hand, the pc is a glorified video game machine.

Protip: They arent worth 1mill.

And Freezer we get it, we know you like function. I was just saying that these are probably better performers than Apples and look better.

Wait, so are you talking about Apple or a PC mod? If Apple, quite likely. If you think that a PC mod has to cost $5000, you are sadly mistaken. I modded my first gaming system for about $50 total for some CCFLs, wire wrap and zipties. I had a dremel and made some blow holes, cut off the ugly X on the window. With that, screwdrivers and time I made a case I was more then willing to show off at a LAN. It had hardly any difference from what you see on that website, sans water cooling and the Lian Li factor.

Even at the last LAN I went to, I saw an ungodly number of Antec 900's and other silly cases with no wire management, a couple cathodes thrown in there and a dinky, scratched window. They probably spent more trying to set that up then anything I ever did.

The idea of modding is to change something, not necessary create it anew though theme-from-scratch cases are the end all and be all of 'modding.' Just because something has form doesn't mean it can't have function, vice versa is true. Why you brought it up Max, god knows.

I, if anyone, should  know that. But these have probably had a lot more of money and time spent on them than $50. It's fun to mod and such, but I don't find going to that level very necessary. Your PC is supposed to be used, not looked at. It's a tool. You don't find people modding their wrenches

I know that guy has it as a hobby and such, and that's cool, but I find hobbies that actually fill a purpose (Like tweaking drivers or increasing case airflow) more appealing.
