Specs are for sissies. Modding is for men.
Here is my WIP

I call it the "rAgecrawler"


I'll add more pictures as I finish it.

That better be remote-controlled.

How's it going to turn? The rotating wheels are on the front, but the trolley/suitcase handle is on the back. Better put in a handbrake as well.

Nice rig but just so you know, if possible try NOT to get the ROCCAT headset.
I had it myself but after about 6 months one ear broke off. It's not that I was murdering the poor thing it was just ... flimsy.
Right now I've got the Corsair Vengeance 1500. It was cheaper, is more sturdy and provides 7.1 usb sound instead of 5.1 analog.
Try Prophecy.co.za
Best of luck

Well i am hoping to see some stands selling Asus or EVGA graphics cards, but i don't think they will as they think most people won't buy them cuase of how much they cost :(

[SH4TT4]

They most definitely will, they did last year and the year before. People were purchasing them left right and center, as the specials were insane.I saw people purchasing multiple components to build new PC's even! No need to worry, they will for sure. Need to get the compressor out to clean the dust outta my PC. :/

[=GSG=Shadowstep]
