Hmm, I guess its because people keep 'untouchables' in end table drawers.Quote:

Apparently, they 'think' they are going for creativity rather than style. Perhaps thats why. They group both aspects in a different category.
Though to be honest, a remote controlled tank computer, end table and vanilla LAN gaming rig are lacking in creativity. They don't fulfill a particular theme and act more like lego sets made by a child. Nice to look at, but not very aspiring. They seem to feel creativity in a custom building rig contest consists of the rig fulfiling a number of miscellanous functions. Its like asking a Van Gogh to be a painting with a somewhat practical purpose other than being heavenly for the visual sense.
I bet if I taped a toaster and coffee machine to a windowed Lian Li, filled it up with nice components, added a few red lights and called it 'The Toaster'. I would probably win. All I need to do is craft double housings that are attached on both sidesof the casing and give it some lateral lines to give a clean look. Then paint it some metallic colour. Or even better yet, buy a transparent casing. Then just put in lots and lots of water cooling and red/green/blue lights and blind the hell out of everybody. Thus giving it a practical function as a flashbang. Turn it on when the counter terrorists break into your living room.
To be honest dude, its like their insulting your idea of creativity. The others are made to fulfill some sort of miscellanous purpose and they consider your rig to be lacking creativity just because it doesn't do anything on the side. Many of them aren't full body mods or are just pre-purchased housings with woodwork or some cutting to make them fit together, all this just for the purposes of shoving a computer in something. No visual style, no creativity, just plain engineering brawn and some brute force.
Their saying its beautiful but lacks creativity because it doesn't do anything. Damn, Im repeating myself.
In other words, Im quite pissed. Some of them even rationalise by saying your work looks rushed. I mean GEEZ, of course it looks rushed in comparison to the others. The others weren't even built by hand ! Or are covered with something already pre-built.
One of the mods is even more incredibly stupid. Guess what, it uses a beer bottle as a water cooling resirvoir. Right, playing the blues indeed.
