To win one and have it delivered to your door via Royal Mail Standard Parcels...

you need to find the funniest picture of a modified PC case, and post it here.

So we will have 4 winners.. and I'll be judging them....... so live with it!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AND!!!!


And I ALSO have a THERMALTAKE MINI TYPHOON HEATSINK... it's the Value Pack version so it has two little extra fans in it and looks like this:
http://www.zen100376.zen.co.uk/data/...typhoonall.JPG
and
http://www.zen100376.zen.co.uk/data/...phoonclose.JPG

To win this, you have to find a picture of the funniest placement of a HEATSINK on the net and post it here.

Right... the compo closes on MONDAY EVENING at 8pm.....
DR has said HEXUS will pay the postage, so top man for that :) and I'll give the gear away cos I keep tripping over it!

On your marks.... get set.......

GO :)

Now... when you say funny can it just be the most awesome case mod or does it have to be funny?

PC case has to be the wearable pc

funny as in.. funny.

If it HAPPENS to be awesome too.. fair play.. but if I don't so much as smile.. you're chances are toast!

CHOOSE one though.. not two...

I am laughing already though :)

Is it just one entry each?

There was a really funny when this chap tried modding a Mac Pro case but I cannot find the picture now!! :(

http://www.craphound.com/images/weddingmod.jpg

I choose to read "funniest" as "strangest" in terms of both a heat sink and mod:

And yes, that is cooking oil being used as a heatsink:

From this article on cooling your PC using cooking oil:

I remember that mod too!!

The one I was talking about is where this chap tries to add extra cooling but actually makes a huge mess of an aluminium Mac Pro case.

The case on this webpage is worth a look at:

I like this mod:

I've found a really dodgey one but it comes with an 18+ rating so I'll leave it for now.

ever worried your HDD is going to get too hot? So did this guy!

Yes it's ice..pre-bagged ice found in the scraps at the back of my freezer, it was going to be a couple in a glass of Jack Daniels but it melted too fast so I wasted loads of JD, loads of ice and got very wet & whiskey smelling fingers!

OK... winners to make me laugh the most:
