i decided to go and spend some money on case modding
![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/01.jpg)
______________________________________
then i needed to upgrade but ran out of space
![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/02.jpg)
______________________________________
next i realized i wanted to beat chewy with overclocking and so i concentrated on efficient cpu cooling
![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/03.jpg)
______________________________________
been there, done that - new record
of course i couldnt let anonymez get away with his dual core so i built a dual board watercooled system
![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/04.jpg)
______________________________________
having mastered the watercooling i tried to overclock my 286 to be able to run an unreal tournament server - some heavy duty liquid cooling was necessary
![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/05.jpg)
______________________________________
the cooling was working fine if only Rex hadnt taken my calls for additional liquid cooling to serious:

______________________________________
i finally managed to set up the perfect system for my local lan party and some friends, neighbours and gods knows who came to join in
![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/05c.jpg)
______________________________________
no need mentioning that the 286 didnt run stable for too long - i had to use my newer machine instead

before this event i practised real hard for weeks and spent hillarious money on more equipment

______________________________________
i almost got into trouble when installing this system in the master bedroom
![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/09b.jpg)
______________________________________
spending too much time on stablity i didnt care for security and people showered me with complaints
blutach said his little fellow was murdered
![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/06.jpg)
______________________________________
lt. columbo, however, was able to solve the case fairly quick and the predators were found

![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/06c.jpg)
______________________________________
well, what was i supposed to do now?
i decided to provide those cats with a special show to keep them away from interfering again
![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/07.jpg)
______________________________________
after hours of hard work
![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/07a.jpg)
______________________________________
...we even came up with brandnew network security solutions
![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/07b.jpg)
______________________________________
i thought the problems were solved and all of us could concentrate on the funny part
blu got a new mouse and was distracted for a while...
![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/10.jpg)
______________________________________
...but the trouble wasnt about to stop
drf turned out to be a real messy - not only with his desktop
![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/11.jpg)
______________________________________
after some complaints we had to disqualify him for breaking the geneva convention but kept his keyboard as a reminder that life will develop no matter how hard its environment
![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/12.jpg)
______________________________________
for some days we enjoyed ourselves and time was flying
i didnt realized some folks got fragged to often and spent their time with creative work instead of joining the fights
![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/15.jpg)
______________________________________
it got worse when the security staff informed me that due to the bad air and foul smell some people had moved outside
![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/16.jpg)
![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/17.jpg)
______________________________________
we were, however, congratulated for providing superb equipment even on our wc
![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/18.jpg)
______________________________________
only the keyboards we provided wasnt the best idea we had
![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/19.jpg)
______________________________________
some guys messed up a good deal of our network
![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/19b.jpg)
______________________________________
we told them to press ctrl+alt+del but somehow they didn't manage, finally we came up with a decent solution for non-responding systems
![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/21.jpg)
______________________________________
the problem was, however, somebody messed up the lan-access and we were faced with this
![](http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/5884/userpass4ar.png)
______________________________________
pressing all kinds of buttons the end was near
![](http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/6546/bsodsized9wz.gif)
______________________________________
despite providing even better access to the help system...
![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/27.jpg)
______________________________________
...we finally gave up and turned some of our machines into something useful
![](http://www.digital-digest.com/~uncasms/lan/28.jpg)
______________________________________
well then, see you all next time
