the bottle is what went into it! not connected whatsoever. I call it stealth cause you cant tell from the outside.

the server is hanging from the celeing to free up bench space, inverting it makes the optical drives accessable to short folk!

I can see that you've put the drives in upsidedown so that they are the right way up! LOL

That case has been around since the gateway p60 days in various configs but I dont ever think it had the cover on it. I would guess its seen at least 8 mobos,5 psu's and a dozen floppys

its been running most of the time since it was new except for vacations and upgrades

I'll have to see if I can dig up the recipt and see when that was...

The surlyjoe lab is a versatile one. Enter and there could be a number of things going on, including obviously case mods but also plumbing, motorcycle fabrication, construction upgrade and repair, and of course anything to do with PC. Surly's talents are endless.
My aforementioned water-cooled pc is currently running and in tip-top shape. Only maintenance required are it every 3 months check on water level and full machine blow-out, to remove all the feather dust bunnies from my bed's comforter. All of which is again performed in the SurlyJoe Lab!!! My hats off to you my friend. And I guess I'll tilt my cup as well.

Thanx man! as for next weekend.... I kinda told the fam that I would be painting the house if they spared me the indignity of Disneyland.

Had I not been so terrified of giant rodents, I might have thought to break away and booze it up with team robbie while the rest of em were gettin their mickey on..
