Case mod for that Star Wars fanatic in your life

[conjur]

wow

Saw this posted in the Distributed Computing forum.

I would never use the term "Star Wars fanatic" and "life" in the same sentence.

And, yes, that thing is badass.

Why? Because of the stereotype placed on people that are interrested in things like starwars?

That's pretty neat. Creative people are cool. As long as they don't go Berkeley.

Well, actually, yes. Note the use of the term "fanatic", not merely "fan". If I am an Islamic fanatic, do you not think I would be perceived differently than one who merely practices Islam?

Berkeley in what way?

 

[TommyVercetti]

Is it just me or the Distributed Computing Forum a whole another dimension within the AT forums?

 

[Kenazo]

College for liberals.

Comparing two religions can get you in trouble. Especially when you choose one very loved religion and one very hated religion.

Based on my experience knowing a star wars fanatic, I don't think being a star wars fanatic precludes you from having a life. In fact, from my experience, I don't think star wars necessarily has an impact on the social life of anyone, even fanatics. Hell, the starwars fanatic I know (who I immediately emailed the link to ) has an interresting and busy social life. Kinda wierd if you place any credence in the stereotype.

So conservatives and people that choose not to put their eggs in one basket/limit themselves in the political arena can't attend? There goes my dream.

I'm grumpy, or other wise I would have just chuckled at your comment and moved on

But opening the hard drive and cuttiing a window into the case!

:Q

(I edited out the head up the butt anti-Berkely comment.)

 

[TheVrolok]

Wow... majorly impressive.

 

[EXman]

That is a DOPE rig! can you fit an Apple in a tie fighter?

I agree creative people are cool.

btw the other day I went to a comic book store for the first time last friday and they had a MF as tall as me hanging from the rafters wow it was huge. not to mention they had like every single star wars figure ever made for sale. probably tens of thousands of dollars worth.

 

[T3C]

In or out of the original packaging? If its in, where?

 

[Quixfire]

Very Cool, I wonder what other cases you could make from ship like Star Trek or other sci fi shows/movies.

 

[Atlantean]

That is pretty cool. Geeky, but cool.

You've gotta say that with a drunken slur, like Harrison Ford did at the movie awards...
