There's these things called "LAN PARTIES" (LAN = Local Area Network) which are great for playing games on the same fast network, and sharing files with friends and total strangers. Some LAN Parties are pretty strange! I saw a project page where a LAN Party-goer was fed up with hauling his computer around all the time and having it getting all dinged and dented...
He used a 20MM ammo can, gutted his computer and mounted everything in there. Looked really nice, but I don't know if he had an MV to transport it! I've thought about painting my PC camo, or OD. I saw a nice WWII warbird/bomber style paintjob on a PC case a while back at www.lanparty.com

I believe its been done. Patrick Norton (or was it Yoshi??) of
TechTVs "The Screensavers" had a computer made from a .30
ammo can. Definatlly has a cool factor to it! Even thought
about doing it myself. LOL..
