aight
like the subject says, I'm going to a four day lan party in two days, and they're having a Worst Case contest, the winner gets a killer processor, new case and Radeon 9700 and something else.
the top panel of my case has rust all over it, including a sticker from the first one of these I went to, the right (from front) panel has a painting of gonarch on it, the left one is covered in stickers with rust creeping up, and the front is all scratched with stickers on it. (and two disconnected and crappy CD-drives, aside from my functioning 8x Coaster Toaster)
oh yeah, and my floppy drive is hanging from the IDE cable inside the case because I don't have a free spot for it.
anybody have any suggestions on how to make it look worse???
I was thinking copious amounts of duct tape
every bit helps :)

A hammer is good :p
-
shoot it
take it out back put up some tree limbs and burn it for a few hours
find a skunk and through it at it (you might be able to rub it on a dead one)
if that fails find the nearest sewer and through it in there
smell is an aspect that other people will probly not have thought of
jam one of the cd drives with a britny spears CD in it, when you put it back on
get a roll of duct tape, and seal a few (but not all) of the new holes
through it from a local tall building
-
mmmm, true, to where?
[ED] the computer has to be working, one of the requisites :D
-
well do all of what I have said to the case after you have taken it off, without the componints in it, the CD jam thing can be thought of as more of a cosmetic effect than an actual broken component
-
a shotgun would put a few extra ventilation holes in it.
-
i like the bullet hole idea, my friend has a gun, in fact.
I don't want to do the skunk thing, I have to sit next to it for four days :lol:
I like the idea of putting a few rolls on the side, then scratching them all to hell
burning works too, I was thinking about that, I could melt half a cd onto the top or something, any idea what to burn onto it?
-
roadkill
if you want to win you will skunk it and you will sit next to it. :nod:
-
get some steel-capped work boots (or a bat) and give it hell
-
piss on it
-
have some unidentified stain on the front or top (in addition to the three I already know about), you think?
-
glue a dead animal to it
-
And if you don't win?
You're stuck with this case.:D
Anyway, attack it with a belt sander
-
paint it bright pink.
-
Just **** on it. If they look like they're not gonna award it too you, threaten to throw it at them.
-
write on it. you know how you have that little "shopping list" erasable tablet on the fridge...same idea
start a corespondance between you and another member of your family, prefarable one who has not yet developed their writing abilities
-
drop it from a fast-moving vehicle...
that'll put lots of nice little dents in it...

find an old apple 2 and stuff all of todays components into it, that would actualy be kind of cool, in a "way more expensive than it needs to be" sort of way

[color=66ff00]*looks at bob's other ideas*
Hmmmm....
*looks at this idea*
Dude, that's just sick!

This is insanity... the good type, of course.
I'd twist the outer case (that you unscrew and pull off to reveal the innards) so that it's jammed onto the case frame itself. That way when someone tries to open it up they'll invariably have to pull so hard they'll mess up their knuckles on the rusty metal. That really sucks. ;)

1. Put can of shaving foam in freezer
2. Open PC case
3. Get can of shaving foam from freezer, cut open, remove solid cylinder of shaving foam.
4. Insert shaving foam into PC Case
5. Take to contest.
6. Make sure your PC case is tightly done up, so that the shaving foam expands and forces the PC case to explode from the pressure, infront of the judges
7. Enjoy your brand new Radeon 9700
Timing is very important here. If you put the foam in too early, it may expand before the contest.. too late and well it won't be a very eventful presentation.
PS. Be careful.

morning, I was thinking maybe have a piece of carboard in place of the right side, and have various tallies scrawled on it, BSoDs, TFC EMP nade kills, etc
the apple 2 idea is nice, I might just do that for nostalgia
belt sander is cool, I was thinking of taking a hammer to the front
and even then, so long as the computer works, I'll still love every single bit of her :)
oh yeah, her name is Claire ;7
(I hope I'm not the only one who has named his box)
the poo idea rocks, I might just pull some if I lose :D
-
[color=66ff00]Nah, but mine's called box 'o tricks.

Ahh! so you've heard of that one as well! Ever tried it with a car's glove compartment?

The computers on our network are Hex (mine), Euclid, Newton, Psyche and Fermat the Kazaa *****. Currently only two of them work.

Tools you will need to complete this project:
1) Hammer
2)Chisel
3) Welding Iron/ Blowtorch (prefered)
4) Gun
6)Beer
7) Duct Tape
...and probably whatever you do to your poor case with those (make sure to make it have that authenitic beer smell! ;)), will get you the gold :D
Oh, ya, and have fun banging up your case. It sure sounds like you will :D
-
Spill stuff on it, foods like curry are good.
Break blades on any fans.
Got a metal heatsink on the cpu? Corrode it somehow.
Shove candy in holes for speakers, headphones, network cable etc.
Scribble on it with crayons.
Try a failed case mod, like a really scrappy window mod, or leave the CD drive hanging out by its wires to the side, and whack a dusty old fan in the hole where it would be.
-
Replace every side with either clingfilm or tinfoil (preferably a combination of both).
Replace the screws with chewing gum or blu-tace.
For extra marks, place unusual looking hairs in the chewing gum.
Drop a day old (part sucked)boiling sweet (rolled in the carpet for extra hairiness) or two down into the bottom.
Place a dollop of honey somewhare and leave it open outside on a warm day, so it can fill with dead flies.
Try to boil an egg on the motherboard, but fail miserably.
Drop seaweed inside.
Submerge it in the sea and allow a small barnacle colony to form.
Organise a mass collection of belly button fluff and sprinkle it liberally inside.
Add a small potted plant.
Set fire to the metal parts that aren't rusted.
Replace as much as possible with lego and / or meccano components - particularly if you can use a rubber-band powered fan.
Attach a lightning conductor to it, and leave it outside on a thundery day.
Place dogfood in the open case, and leave it next a park (where dogs are being walked, obviously)
Pour sawdust into it.
Use the CD drive as a coffee cup holder, or shove toast (with jam) into the floppy drive.
Attach kitchen magnets to the HD (which I think will erase it...not sure how poerful the magnets have to be)
Liberally dab it with prittstick or some form of (super?)glue
Pout hot oil / toffee / treacle onto it, then burst a feather pillow over it.
...right i'm done........
-
wire adisposeable camera into a taser, and put billions of burnmarks on the case... thats what i did to m locker... :D and then i ducktaped my friends locker shut from the inside... ;7
-
Have a bacon sandwich, or other similar warm snack food, keeping warm on the psu.
-
Here are some sick drunk ideas that came to my head:
1. A big plastic dildo sticking out of a hole in the side.
2. cover case in sugary gelatin then run sweaty socks on the gelatin to get good fungal growth. (takes a while to grow and very unhygenic) for added color, suggest using stuff from under finger nails, around sinks and pond water.
3. Buy a pigs rib-cage as a case. (might cost a bit)
4. Keep all essential componets in a big paper bag. with some rough holes in it for ventilation.
5. Paste a small poster of "Glitter" on the side.
6. Stick some meat around the case, so its totally covered. Get some maggots and let them feast away.
7. Puke on it once a day for a week until case in covered in a good yellowish crust. for added effect eat pizza with ham and/or spaghetti before each regurgitation session for a good texture.
8. Bring no case and explain to the judges that its in fact an invisible case.
:blah: .... Yeah, I'll just get back to drinking now...
"BLuaaaargh..." *burp* *passes out.*
-
Turn the CD drive upside down, then screw/wedge it back in.
Replace wires with bare copper wire, no plastic on it or nothing.
Light a candle and hold it next to the case. The soot left will look like burn marks.
-
well you could go to all that trouble. OR you could find dirty pictures of the Olsen twins, paint/paste them onto the case, then Put R. Kelly in the back ground....
-
...thats the second time i've heard the olsen twins mentioned today...
:nervous:
*fires up google image search*
-
Am I going to get away with mentioning the Olsen Countdown website?
-
just out of curiousity, are they still illegal?

[color=66ff00] :wtf: Even if they were legal, they're damn creepy.

-
glue/duct tape up all the vent holes...
jam stuff in the fans so they turn real slow, and when they turn, they make lots of noise as the blades hit on pieces of paper and stuff.
-
get a female dog, rub it all over your case. rub it more. put the case in a street. let the male dogs do their job. don't ever try to put anything to your case anymore, btw.
another stupid advice tomorrow, if you want.

well, yeah, but I wanted to know. It'd kinda ruin my joke if they were, ya know.

"checks on google"
mmh, that's two girls. good looking girls, in fact. what's creepy about them? they worship Satan? they have incestious relationship with their auntie? they listen to mariah carey?
they wouldn't own one of those yorkshire dogs, would they?
-
Pretty sure it all of those. They're more stupid than creepy if you ask me.
For the inside of you case, you need to put it near a heavy smoker. It takes a while but the insides get covered up in a coat of yellow dirt and filth. If you're short on time, take it to a bingo hall and let the toxins do their stuff.
-
Write Vogon poetry on it.
-
Nah, Vogon poetrty would not be terrible enough, if you were to write some of Grunthos the Flatulent's work on it, then it would be utterly horrible.
-
That would be almost criminal...
-
Indeed it would.
If you could fit some sort of speaker system to actually read the poems out, then you'd win simply out of the judges' fear.
-
Yeah. Hopefully before they collapse from severe internal bleeding.
-
Exactly.
But then of course there's always Paul Neil Milne Johnston of Redbridge.
-
burn it a bit
-
maybe drape it with computer cabes that you took the protective rubber coating off or just take any old tape cassetts you have that you don't like and take the tape out of those and drape it over
