    This is a scurrilous accusation, and actually isn't true either.

    Although it's not a bad idea - I could call my old PC Pikachu, since the f*cking thing has a screwy PSU and keeps electrocuting me. smile.gif

    Main pc is called Beast. Its called that for a very good reason..
    Its an old 486 Full tower Server case. In the process of altering it to fit a ATX MB, i broke 2 drill bits(probable still imbedded in the wall..) and a hacksaw blade. There now exists a jagged hole in the back through which keyboard/mouse/modem are connected. The machine has also developed the tendancy of having its case going life with 120V. I prefer to think of this as an Anti-Theft Feature, and stay out of Arcing range. The twin exhaust fans mounted in the front panel produce a blast of chilled air, garanteed to cause hyperthermia. The case itself is made of heavy sheet metal and doesnt fit correctly. This results in a loud rattling noise due to the vibration caused by the many fans in the system.
    And that is why it is called Beast.

    the other two are called Pax and Ouster.
