You are using that as a coffee table? You must be hot with the ladies :)
 
ha thanks, now I know which case this is :D ... I once bought an inner shell of some server case off ebay for like $5 and didn't have any use for it yet, it's that exact same case, though it's only the inner shell... hmm table... hmm ...me thinks
 
Nice one, I scavenged the same case ( 486 server ) and stripped it's innards out, now houses my fileserver, with room for more than 20 drives :)

What the hell did he do to it?? Did he take a chainsaw to that case?? Or maybe a 16lb sledge?? :eek:
 
Heh, I use dead laser printers when I feel like that... Got me a Lexmark Optra R ready for my next bad day. One sledgehammer later, you get lots of plastic shards...... :D
