Default Alternative computer ideas
Why pay for those expensive flashy computer cases, which must cost a good 20 bucks or so, when you can simply make your own! Choose from your favorite shades of brown, and even make it look like you have sponsors paying for their logo on your computer!





Also, we can now present the new Eurofordclub.com Server, based on Apples G3, this new server now offers what every good Server should! This should end the Apple vs PC debate once and for all! See picture below.

Very classy.

Perhaps combine the 2 ideas and have a cheapo cardboard box which serves beer.

the beer server looks great but, as much as I love beer, it still wouldnt be enough to convince me to get an Apple.

I like to right click...lets see you do that on an Apple :

One of my mates built a computer case out of lego, don't know if he bothered putting anything in it though.
