The only comment right now is that it's a REALLY... REALLY... REALLY,REALLY,REALLY,REALLY,REALLY bad idea to be cutting with a Dremel with your electronics just sitting in the open air. The metal dust is probably all over your PCBs. I recommend stuffing it in anti-static bags until you are...

Honestly, I think you'd be happier if you did. Imagine setting everything up only to find you have a bum chip that dies in a week. :p I'd think it would make upgrades a lot easier, unless you have no frequent plans for this like some of us freaks do :)

I think NASCAR is a waste of so many things, but I will say that you have created one damn fine case mod, sir. Nice job.

Damn that's sexy. Would you be willing to do one for me?

A case is designed to protect your components from the random crap floating around your room. While a computer can work without one, why the HELL would you pay nearly $2000 for a computer and put a risk on it like that? Get a case. PS: Your post is freaking annoying. We don't need to...

yeah, most annoying thread ever, too.

Yeah, exactly. Easier than you think, it would just take some time and only a tiny bit of skill.

Wow, that makes you a serious ASS.

On smaller parts like that you will want to do only a couple thin layers of paint on them... remember that paint adds thickness to objects, so when you are painting buttons and such don't lay so much paint on that it will stick or not be able to got back together after you paint.

Ahhh. They must have sold out or stopped selling them since last week. :-x Might be worthwhile to check back from time to time.

Yeah, it was a bit tricky to find. From the main page instead of going to buy XPC on the left, go to "Buy accessories" in the middle... or just use this link http://us.shuttle.com/buy.asp Bottom left is where you wanna look.

PM'ed

My guess is a card reader.

Depending on what generation it is, shuttle sells the bare cases they have scraped from RMAs on their website for $10 each (mostly to cover shipping) Might wanna check if you can pick one of those up for a quick fix.

yeah, except it's really hard to hide the fact that you don't clean your desk on a regular basis. And that whole "weight limit" thing can be bad, too.
