Loving this artical, i thought there were more deserving winners though. Personally loved Alexander's Space-Con!

I'm suprised the hypercube didnt the top 3.

Imo, he was robbed

Kudos to the winner for winning, but a case in a fish tank is a bit "meh" tbh.

That was excellent read, really liked the LAN truck myself.

3 images on the contender’s page go to the wrong cases
LAN Truck by Ant
Illumili by Mydogisgone
Lokicube by Loki

excellent article once again

Was a good read, looks like a lot of fun.

The_Pope · 4th May 2005, 15:45

Thanks Shadow - it has been fixed now

Joungne · 4th May 2005, 16:15

Hi guys,

just a little error in the article : the other cases that are shown were ALSO in the contest, but I couldnt find the owners of them to take their interview.
By the way, the mod with the rotating circles around the motherboard is also from Marc Voser (with his Coldfusion)

If you have any questions, just ask away.

Greetz,

Joungne

My favorite was the lan truck, stylish but functional. Really cool stuff. Hypercube in a close second

Infraggable Krunk · 5th May 2005, 04:11

id say hypercube then the aqua pc

people its a pc fully inclosed in water ( from the looks of it no air coming in except the bottom.

Ive seen the hypercube worklog... and well its just pretty

GigantoR · 5th May 2005, 05:25

^^ yup, all of that.

[WP@]WOLVERINE · 5th May 2005, 12:08

i simply cannot believe that the Hypercube didnt make it to the top three. No disrespect to the other mods since they were all great but i personally think that the judges must have been the three blind mice.

isho · 5th May 2005, 14:06

honestly besides hyper cube i thought that one chick computer was Sweet

. didnt really like the fish tank.

alextwo · 8th May 2005, 16:02

LOL I like the interview with yourself Joungne, I'm surprised Hypercude didn't make the top 3.

The_Pope · 9th May 2005, 03:47

Well, as stated in the article, there *were* no "judges" - votes were tallied from all the visitors to the exhibition. So the majority have spoken I guess

Etacovda · 9th May 2005, 05:00

Unfortunately, you have to think about it in terms of people that dont appreciate/understand modding - integrating a fishtank with a computer appeals to the masses because it 'hides' the technology - most people dont want to see their computers, let alone celebrate it like modders do.

Thats a very good point to be put across

Joungne · 9th May 2005, 12:17

and I have to say, the real fish swimming around the tank looked pimp, and they were a big eyecatcher. People were in love with the fish, especially when Robert decided it was feeding time ;-)

greetz,
