Case Mod Avant-Garde by Eduardo Pinheiro
Here's for all the sissy Apple lovers out there... This is the ultimate design for my old Duron, which faithfully downloaded well over one terabyte (mostly movies, 1300+) always on 24/7/365 over the last four years. It also runs Apache and is a file and printer server, as well as a router for my home network (with four, also damn old and beautiful computers). Sometimes I dust it off with a vacuum cleaner.

Sadhana: At Cidade Baixa, inside the apartment of a fat bastard, lies an old towel over which stands a wood board. He arises majestically on it, lying down on his right side, endowed with a Duron 1.2 processor, 256 Mb of ram, a 80 Gb 3.5" hard drive locked loosely by two screws and with two fans, one of which sometimes roars voraciously in the night, awaking fat bastard for a little kick of recognition. Another smaller 10 Gb 2.5" hard drive, laying on top of a slice of paper, stays completely and unabashedly untied to anything other than the data cable. Both propel the holy dharma at thousands of RPM. A DVD burner sensuously bends its way through twisted metal while the dusty floppy drive boldly rests obliquely, held by one screw. The power source is held by a slice of bent metal, and stays mostly outside of everything. It has no monitor, it has no keyboard, it has no mouse. Remote Access takes care of all input necessary. Staying open to whatever air or dust may come, his HD activity led, replaced for a blindly bright optical mouse led, shines over all, destroying Hollywood with each blink.

(Thank you veddy much! Elvis has left the building!)
