Just received 3 $4000 switches for my lan party at the end of June. I hafta give them back when I'm done, but they're mine until then!! muah hahaha

Anyway, I've been trying to think of something funny i could do with the 3 switches and take a picture of it.
If I had a little sister with a tea party set, I'd dress them up and go from there but I don't have a sister so I can't ;)
If I had tons of spare/old cat5 laying around i might make a big wiremess between the switches and tangle myself in it. I only have brand new cat5 in spools tho, don't want to waste that.

Just trying to think of something I could do that'd be funny, if you have any thoughts I'm all ears!

Ima post the pics to my site afterward

Rip off furnitureporn.com and dress the switches up in various states of undress. Then, take 'naughty' pictures.

Just a thought, but if these $4000 switches aren't yours, you might want to keep them out of any situation that could cause harm to them.

Word.

Also, who in their right mind would loan some one $12K worth of equipment for a LAN PARTY? Me is :confused:.

That said, do this:

1. Find a "Monster Truck" or 18-wheeler that is parked.
2. Put one of the switches under a tire. Take a pic from a distance showing the switch under it, then w/Photoshop, show a "closeup bubble" pointing at the switch under the tire, with a "magnified view" showing the thing clearly under the tire.
3. Right next to pic #1, show a smashed, crumpled piece of metal that may or may not be said switch.

I dunno...sounds kinda stupid, but it's typed, so there. :p

Good luck in your quest to give whoever put their @ss in a sling to loan you this stuff a heart attack. :D

there would be no harm to the switches, except for the smell

;)

You could make a fake electroencephalographic cap (they look like this.) It would be easy to make a non-functional EEG cap out of an old bathing cap and some scrap wire, and take a photo showing yourself hooked up to the "neural net."

lol, a few ideas i might need to try ;)

anyone else too?

btw - Don't worry. I wouldn't risk anything by putting the switches into any sort of situations that could go bad and damage them ;)
The 18-wheeler idea is...and idea. I could take an old hub or something relatively the same size and try to make it look like it. Unfortunately the Cisco switches are a dark color, unlike most other old hubs

Still lookin for more ideas.

You wanna freak out the people that lent them to you or something? I don't understand why you're wanting to do this.

Anyways, you should paint nekkid ladies on some of them in Photoshop, or maybe turn each one into a superhero. Suggestions would be the logos for Superman, The Flash, Batman, or Spider-Man.

Otherwise, I guess I don't understand what you're trying to do.
