Bubble-Plexi Case Mod 193

injuring yourself while attempting this mod, so have fun but don't bitch if
you lose a thumb ;)

NO! VOYAGER IS DYING! (Score:0, Interesting)
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *Voyager community when last month Nielsen confirmed that *Voyager accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all viewers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that *Voyager has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *Voyager future. The hand writing is on the wall: *Voyager faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *Voyager because *Voyager is dying. Things are looking very bad for *Voyager. As many of us are already aware, *Voyager continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. Tuvok is the most endangered of them all.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Star Trek: Voyager producer Rick Berman states that there are 7000 viewers of *Voyager. How many fans of Tuvok are there? Let's see. The number of *Voyager versus Chakotay-specific posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 Tuvok fans. Tuvok posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of Chakotay-specific posts. Therefore there are about 700 Tuvok fans. A recent article put Seven of Nine at about 80 percent of the *Voyager fanbase. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 Seven of Nine fans. This is consistent with the number of Seven of Nine Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Paramount, abysmal ratings and so on, Star Trek: Voyager was ended as a series and the syndication rights were sold to another troubled company. Now that company is also dead, its corpse turned over to another charnel house.
All major surveys show that *Voyager has steadily declined in the ratings. *Voyager is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *Voyager is to survive at all it will be among hardcore Star Trek nerd fucks who are hoping to see Seven of Nine in a bikini. *Voyager continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *Voyager is dead.
Fact: Star Trek: Voyager is dead.

You'd think those LEDs would be everywhere, but so far all the ones I've managed to find have been scrounged from old cases. Even Radio Shack doesn't carry them (and I even looked through the catalog).

Why do PC cases continue to be "difficult"? (Score:3, Interesting)
I have a B&W G3. When I want to add something, I pull the ring and swing the side down. Everything is open and easy to access. 2 seconds. A child could do it. And my G3 is over 3 years old.
I have yet to see a PC case out there that approaches the ease of access that Apple had 3 years ago. Am I just not up the market? I know that alot of manufacturers were adding colorful plastic sections to their cases. I've seen the neon additions and clear windows from the modders. Why hasn't even one manufacturer tried to make the case an easy thing to work with?
this? impressive? i think not. (Score:4, Interesting)
I like case mods, but to make it onto slashdot, i would expect it to be somewhat impressive, not a "why the hell did this make it to slashdot" kinda thing.
