The kind folks at Apevia have donated this case to the winner;
Take a good look, because the X-PLEASURE case is also the base for this challenge. Apevia has donated the case. It is the X-Pleasure-BK with _no_ power supply. MCE.com has donated $100 to help defray the expense of shipping this case.
Challenge:
The Modder's Challenge starts with the prize. Use the X-PLEASURE case as the base of your design and create a vandal proof computer. Protection from the elements will be provided. The hard part is protecting the computer from the humans. That's your job. Think of it as a public computer with flair. Be reasonable though, Heat guided Taser charges may not be fitting in a public place...
Budget:
Again, keep it reasonable, but keep track of what the rough costs are. Don't worry about shipping, taxes and labor, just the cost of the items.
Restrictions:
The final case must be recognizable as the original. Keep the look of the X-Pleasure case and build upon it. Extra credit for designing input devices and a monitor that fits in with the design.

Designs will be judged on the following criteria;
- Originality
