thank god for USB and audio on the lower front, my previous PC's thermaltake case had USB ports on the middle top, on a slant, which was awkward and annoying to get to.

i've strategically placed a tissue box over the blue LED otherwise it's aurora borealis with the lights off.

It may have succumbed to fashion but in a reasonably flat city single speed (maybe not fixed so much) can actually be fairly practical.

Practical is a stretch, but it's at least enjoyable. Fixed or not, riding without a brake is a death wish.

Got this finished today. I figured I should get a tattoo of my favorite manga. I should probably get some more.

Well I will say that I'm not a fan of the tattoo in particular, the tattoo itself is well done.

Tattoos are very personal things so one can only really judge the product itself, not so much the content :P

Yeah, fair enough. I've been prepared for most people to not know/like it for quite some time, which is understandable.

I'd like a pic in 40 years though :P

Made another trip out to Disneyland this past weekend, and picked up another one of these character sketches. I've got three of them now (The other two were posted earlier in the thread here and here.)

Drauch, I freaking hate tattoos, especially on women. That being said, that Nausicaa tattoo is badass. Wear it with pride, until you're about 60 or so and it starts looking shitty. Until then, it looks great.

I quite like that one. Nice price too. A bit frustrating to mod, but makes for a great compact stick with many a choice of button layouts.

Only 200 after all said and done, which is quite the deal for the amount of detail and the size (like a little over 6"). Super awesome guy and I will definitely go back!

The PS Hori Fighting Stick ain't too shabby as well -- picked one on the cheap from a local Funcoland many moons ago. The original Hori PC Fighting Stick is the genesis of them all with it's all-metal casing (something that neither the SS or PSX FS arcade stick variants don't have).

Awesome tat! (tats or gtfo?) For me it would have to be Mononoke.

Snagged the Fela box off Amazon for $113. This is 46 albums (on 26 CDs) + a dvd, so it is a very good deal if you don't have any fela. I already had several albums but it was still very much worth it. The packaging is not fantastic, but you are here for the music, right?

Can I ask where you managed to grab it? I'm looking an inexpensive stick/case to mod, and I've heard these are very easy.

Easy as long as you have access to a Dremel.
Bought it from a Danish webshop, so that's not helping you, but I'm guessing it's available much cheaper where you live.
