Damn, well. I gotta take some pics of Ashram and Ghim tonight. Hopefully they'll inspire people w/ scraping skills and no budget whatsoever (ie: sub $5 for the entire casemod)
Anyone can build a nice case by putting a couple hundred bucks into it. It takes a real man to take $2 in screws, $2 in metal plumbing straps, some computer parts that were laying around, an old equipment case, and an old case w/ not enough drive rails, to make a neat system that can be carried easily w/ one hand and is 100% concealed w/ the exception of a monitor (yes, KB+trackball+speakers and all are inside)
