Seen people do stuff like that before, just never that complete before.Cool.I especially like the way he's managed to fit in the optical drive.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

It's just like a shuttle PC. It would be very nice as an entertainment center PC. Having the USB ports on the front like that would be very handy, especially for the wireless keyboard and mouse dongles.

what, is that a mini-itx board?

I wonder why he didn't just go all out with nano-itx board and some solid state storage space. Would of reduced size and temperature a lot. Shit he wouldn't of needed that massive fan on top.
