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

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

    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!

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

    Well, that's my idea quota for the day...
    I'll procrastinate tomorrow.

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

    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.


    "Technical neglect is one of the worst kinds of neglect, won't you sponsor an octal or adsl2 card so they can someday grow up into big capable adsl2+ cards? random celebrity does."
