They forgot a few things...

* unecessarily large subwoofer taking up most of the space in the case
* Low-riding CPU
* Hydraulics
* Shiny Chrome Body Accessories

haha, it has an apple sticker, and an intel inside sticker. That's great. The only thing he didnt do was put a single wiper blade on the monitor, and he forgot the yellow paint too.

Because, as we all know, yellow is the color of speed.

What, no ground-FX?

And ya gotta remove the feet off te case in order to 'low-rider' it.

Also, there has to be room for one of those pissing Calvins somewhere on the screen.

From www.riceboypage.com

"The Original Rice Computer"



"This is actually my computer. I was really bored so one day I put some stripes on my computer. And some other things.

Notice how the LED display shows 133 MHZ. In actuality, this computer only runs at 100 MHZ! But now it runs at 133 because it says so!

Also take note of the "Intel Inside" Pentium Processor sticker, which was stolen off a computer at Computer City. Stating the obvious makes my computer go faster... HONEST!

And even though this isn't a car, the VTEC sticker increases high end performance!"

(this is not my computer. That's a quote from the web page)

A computer becomes slow only when you decide it is. One of my friends has a PPro 200 Mhz box and insists its "just fine."

I just don't get the idiots that buy a $1500 neon or civic and add all that shit to it. i have heard of some tards buying some piece of shit chevy impala and insuring just the aftermarket wheels they have added on to it.
people just don't get it.

I sorta like bizarre idea's like that.

It's funny because I've seen a variety of vehicals similar to that kind Someone takes some old junker and decorates it eccentricly with all sorts of weird things.

Two of the funkiest I've actually seen in my local town were some old VW Van with multi-colored "furr" lining on the entire exterior.

Another time I saw a more recent looking American Made Van with actual CD's lining the entire exterior.
