"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences.

Seen it.

Looks untimely cool but I'm not planning on getting HL2 when it comes out, so, uh, it's a very fine work of art...

Agreed, you can really see effort has gone into that one - it has really captured the "aged industrial" feel of the game...

...that said, I'd like to see one done up in the style of the bad guys - the name escapes me - a large black shining monolith.

Carbon fiber would do the job ;)

Hmmm? New bad guys in HL2?

I really don't know how they're going to top the original HL. I played it practically nonstop over three days...I can still remember the taste of the chicken pot pies I had for almost every other meal while playing it. It really captured the feel of being alone in a research base, or (even though I hated it) an alien planet.

Everything I've heard so far has been positive, but therein lies the problem...HL2 is so highly expected, it's going to be one of those high-priced games. So unless it turns out to be complete crap (which I doubt) it'll be sitting up on the High Shelf of Fity Dollar Games for a long time to come.

I wouldn't be so sure - I think it's being marketed at normal game prices (I say normal, I mean along the same lines as Call of Duty or any other current FPS). It certainly shouldn't go up into the price range of the Microsoft flight sims and so on.. and if it does? Well I'll probably still buy it. Having played the alpha I can echo that it'll be worth the waiting for.

Seriously, that case is ugly. It's... different but still ugly. Even though I do like the buttons, I despise the fact that it looks like a rust-fest.

But that's probably the intention :p I just think it's butt ugly.

Meh, I don't like case-modding. I want my case to be silent, small, and out of the way.


This one is nice though, but I hate the stuff he did to the keyboard.

Thats true, as a work of art (so to speak) it's very well done. But in the usability sense it's not much good at all.

Me? I've no problem with having a window and some lit fans in my case... but that's more or less where it ends. I can't say it's silent but it is more aesthetically appealing than a large biege block on the carpet.

Edit:
Sandwich, how the hell do you change any hardware in that thing? There's so many cables!

Doubt it, there is generally no space to play with.

You can off course simply grab a can of rust finish, cover the screen and keyboard, fill up the ports with something rubber, and let loose. I doubt it would look good though.

I might do watercooling in my next case, but if I can get silent air cooling, I'm fine with that too. Whatever is the cheapest and most reliable.

Meh... watercooling seems the only way forward. It should be compatable with any upgrades you make to anything else... and you can't get much more silent I don't think!

Dunno, you still need to cool the water.

And I'd hate to wake up and find my graph card sitting in a pool of cooling liquid. Or not find out untill I powered my machine on and saw a cloud of steam rising up out fo my case......

Thats exactly why I've not switched over to water cooling or something similar, all my life I've been taught that:

electrics + water = destroyed electronics

It's a hard feeling to shake off, and every time I moved the case or went to a LAN I'd be worried that something would get shaken out of place and pour liqued all over my computers innards.
