I'm a student in Manchester over here in the always sunny UK. I can juggle, like cats and can't say the alphabet backwards very fast.
The Podcastle is sexy, listen to it.
Games have become a backward-looking medium. Because game designers rely on the language of cinema, they have not sufficiently developed a new form of storytelling based on the language of video games. - Daniel Radosh 28/09/07

Over summer, as some people may know. I was living and working in London as part of a summer placement. Now, not wanting to take my main PC down with me I decided to make a new one. I had all the parts I needed (left over from upgrade, scavenging etc) apart from PSU and case. £10 PSU and I had everything to make it run. I looked into getting some small cases, not wanting to carry a massive one around, but alas couldn't find one. Until I found the box. I think it is from Thorntons and contained, at one point, an Easter egg. That's not important, the important thing is that it was the perfect size. After 2 days of cutting, screwing and toying I finally had myself a fully working, fully portable PC built into a cardboard box. It lasted up until the very last day of my accommodation before the (very old) mobo gave up. Anyway, have a look at the pics*, they were taken on a crappy phone camera, sorry. Stats: CPU: 1.8 Celeron RAM: 256 MB Hard Drives: 20 GB HD, 40 GB HD (Removable via front) CD Drive: 16x CD-RW OS: Duel-boot Kubuntu, XP Case: Cardboard box, gaffer tape, stickers, screws, beer mat and black spray paint. What a beast * Didn't notice the way pics are displayed has changed, ah well, you get the point.

However its not the best setup evar so theres not much to complain about.
It's not like carrying that box around would be so much easier? :D
@brainderailment; try taking it on the London underground. Impressively, I didn't get shot. Mind you, I don't look foreign.
