WTH are you building a Mini-ITX gaming server for?

Just kidding, what's the rest of the specs?

Something like this would make a great game server...

The server doesn't require a super advanced GPU, or anything of the such. I want it to be portable, and be able to be taken along with my main rig, so as to be able to have a switch embedded that everyone can plug into. Basically, just a Game SERVER, nothing being played.

I was thinking a scale(miniature) model of one of those arcade style game cabinets.

You could do a scale model of a cardboard box...all you'd need is a box.

Or, at the other end of the spectrum, you could do a 3D hologram case where the gear is mounted to a frame and, when powered on, it projects the case around itself.

You could throw it in an old, non-working NES! If you destroy a working NES for that though, I'll hunt you to the corners of the earth!:evil:

Or, you could make it look like a delicious sandwich...I could go for one of those right now.:neutral:

Well, that's my idea quota for the day...

Make it a Mountain Dew 12 pack or cube and it'd be perfect for a lan box. :whistler:

Here's something I've been booting around in the brain pan for a while for a portable gaming pc. How about a med kit from your choice of game. Here's one from left for dead.
