anyone else put their case facing backwards?

[LloydChristmas]

Lot of people ask why my computer faces backwards.
For easy access to cables and plugs.

 

[Insomnium]

What's the point of having access to plugs and cords? Do you really unplug/replug stuff so often that you need that kind of access to them, while making accessing the floppy drive and cd-rom drive more difficult?

 

[LloydChristmas]

I like to switch the audio cables in and out when using headset and stuff.
and its easier to install stuff

 

[Supradude]

hm... for stereo plugs, you could always get a stereo splitter for like $3... i use on too to switch between headphones and speakers...

 

[ApacheXMD]

what, do you not have a need for drives?

[jimmygates]

How the hell you access your CD-Rom/DVD then?

i would say, if you want easy access to headphone plugs, first kick yourself in the ass, turn your computer around, and jimmy rig the headphone jack by going to radioshack and getting a splitter and an extender and bring THAT to the front.

or you could goto a computer show and get one of those nifty gadgets that will allow front access to your soundcard jacks for about 8 dollars

...or be like me and run it all through a stereo receiver!

actually, I know one person that copies me.
I also have to screw with the tv cable on my tv card to get better picture sometimes.

I used to have two computers, a tower on a desktop, both backwards and I could switch fast between them by switching the monitor cable from one to the other.

 

[Ulfwald]

get a live drive. you can get one in the FS/T forum sometimes fairly cheap.

 

[Modeps]

You shouldnt have to screw with a cable to get it working properly, either make or buy a new one, its obviously shorting out.

Buy a switchbox, they are about 10 bucks and you can switch 1 monitor between 2 computers.

these are all possible solutions to something that should never have been.... some psycho that turned his computer around because he is trying to be cool.

(i almost guarentee the guy who copied you is trying to be cool too)
