Borg Cube Case 325
Steelduck writes "A person nick-named Xor'Arch at the CaseJunkies forums has made an uber-cool case mod. A Borg cube based on a Via EPIA-M platform. The project took them 9 months, in which they spent 250 hours of their spare time. In total, they used about 60 meters of steel wire, and 1,5 m2 cardboard.The Borg Cube is presented at Casejunkies website.

Great! We've only just gotten through bringing the iPod story's server [ipodlounge.com] to its knees, and now we've trashed this site as well.
I just knew when I read the word, "Borg," that this would be the case. We geeks are too predictable.
All we need now is a "Natalie Portman enrolls in the CS department at Harvard" story, and the whole east coast will go black once again!

3) Hmmm, might as well be a gamecube now.
4) If a Borg Cube server runs WebSphere, what is the volume of the resulting geometry?
5) Ice Cube and Dre are suing for copyright infringements.
6) If it runs linux, will the admin be known as Cube Root?

at 65 mph, apparently. of course, you'd have to pee into a milk jug and be cranked up on something to drive it straight through.
The speed limit for most of the trip is probably 70-75 mph.
But if you're gonna be driving from NY to LA 5 times, that doesn't leave much room to return to NY between each trip. Forget the police, I think some physicists would like a word with you.
