I've got a question about Ricing....

[hpkeeper]

Many people on this board think that ricing a car is stupid and it makes a car look dumb. Now... today I've seen two threads that have been closed because they advertised an auction on Ebay that the seller was auctioning off Athlon stickers. Granted that you can do many things when ricing out a car, but what says you can't put some cool accessories on your box? I have a friend who has done some crazy stuff with his cases. What makes ricing your car less cool than ricing your box?

 

[warcleric]

ricing your box is lame too.

 

[hpkeeper]

I didn't say that I did it... I'm saying that it seems like it's more approved on the board.

What's the definition of "Ricing" your box?

Painting the case?
Blow-holes?

amish

 

[warcleric]

EA: functional blowholes are not......neon and plexiglass is.

 

[mk52]

maybe using spoilers for aerodynamics

 

[cjchaps]

An example might be putting on an AMD sticker with only intel is inside!
Or an AMD Type R sticker with a regular AMD chip running things.

 

[hpkeeper]

yeah I'm with Warcleric on the ricing your box... (I.E. - Stickers, Plexi-glass, Neon lights, etc.) One of my friends made a box out of a shop-vac... I think he may still have the pictures from when he did it... it came out good... It worked.

 

[Electric Amish]

WHEW!!

I was worrying that I might have overstepped the "Rice" line.

Paintjob, blowholes, Rheobus.... that's about it.

amish

 

[hpkeeper]

No one has really answered the quesiton "What makes ricing your box more cool than ricing your car?"

 

[Electric Amish]

Nothing. Ricing your box is stoopid.

amish

 

[aolsuxs]

lol Cj has it right, what exactly is the point of putting a huge sticker saying powered by Honda on a civic or any other obvious car made by honda?

 

[StrangeRanger]

<< I have nipples MOD, could you milk me? >>



Dood! I almost pissed my pants laughing at that! I fu*kin' love it!

[huypham]

I'm in favor of both

(patiently waiting for my plexiglass...)

huy

 

[Pastore]

neon lights are phat on a nice case

 

[warcleric]

a shop vac you say? *thinking about airflow possibilities*

 

[ThisIsMatt]

So am I riced? (it has red superbright LEDs inside, too )

 

[hpkeeper]

I only brought this thread up because many people seem to be hypocrites, they post in threads about people doing stupid rice jobs to their car and then go work on the neon lights on their case...

That's just my opinion.

 

[bigd480]

worrying about what others think is &quot;cool&quot; is lame... if you want to put a plexiglass window and a neon tube on your case, go the hell ahead... it's your thang, do what u wanna do...

same as if you think your car looks better with a spoiler/rims/bodykit, whatever... go for it...

the ppl who talk isht are a bunch of judgemental pricks that don't have the brains/balls to determine/do what they feel like... therefore it makes it a lot easier on them if some other moron tells them what's cool or not... i prefer to think of them as &quot;hataz&quot;

if i had the extra cash sure i'd like a pimped out case with blowholes and professionally rounded cables, etc... and though everything done may not really be worth the money as far as &quot;performance-enhancing&quot; goes, it'd be something that I think is cool, so fvck everyone else...

Compu-rice:
Color matched components
Excessive paint schemes (ie: flames)
Lights inside the case
AMD Athlon case stickers on Duron systems

Not compu-rice:
Fans
Large HSFs
AMD Athlon case stickers on Athlon systems
Basic black paint schemes


Items that need to be taken on a case by case basis:
Orb HSFs
Cases made from other items (ie: shop vac, scanner, beer box)

bigd: your freedom of self expression end where my expectancies of comfort begin.....a coffee can exhaust going through my neighbourhood at 3am makes me want to kill every ricer I can get my hands on.

hpkeeper: As for my cases, they're just like my car, factory original. Well except that the sides almost never get put on them.

 

[bigd480]

<< bigd: your freedom of self expression end where my expectancies of comfort begin.....a coffee can exhaust going through my neighbourhood at 3am makes me want to kill every ricer I can get my hands on. >>

did anyone say anything about exhausts or comfort levels? i believe your words were:

<< ricing your box is lame too >>

how does modding a case affect your comfort level? or even ridiculous spoilers/stickers? str8 h8in...

if a harley or a muscle car went through your neighborhood at 3am what would it make you wanna do? probably nothing? possibly envy them? let me guess, &quot;that would never happen because harley/muscle car drivers are <insert ignorant blanket statement here>&quot;... whatever...

 

[Bignate603]

If your computer shoots flames out the tailpipe it's been riced to much.

 

[Viperoni]

Compu-rice would be putting a TBird sticker on a Duron box
Besides, all that light stuff is dumb IMO
I'd rather spend cash on making my machine fast
