I know, just thought I'd give the idea a new "twist". Everybody else has.
Twist at the neck more like it
I know, just thought I'd give the idea a new "twist". Everybody else has.
Exactly my point. If its an office computer no one wants to see it, but if theres something to look at, something you yourself have done, odds are others wouldn't mind looking at it. If it is something weird and totally custom you should not only post it but give a step by step on how to do it.
No one is going to mod something, make it worse, and post it. Like my old vga cooler for example, I read on another site how to make a diy vga cooler out of a spare 80mm fan and a pci bracket. It didn't look the best but it worked and others wanted to know how it was made and what kind of gains it provided. I know at least 3 people took my idea and changed it, modified it, and made it work for them. It also looked better after being tweaked.
Hell if the computer in question is a beige $5 case, yet the high end parts inside idle 5c over ambient I want to know what they did and how to replicate that sort of performance myself. That is something unique and interesting, to me at least. If it isn't a factory style computer it belongs in the case gallery. I'm still going to hand out my share of low votes to those whom I feel deserve it, but I may just learn something from a beige box and wires everywhere.

I say switch to a thumbs up or thumbs down system with comments. Have the forum parameters post the rating next the rater's name. The dominant rating is displayed where the average score would be. That would be a lot more simple, and the rating would not be allowed without submission of a post in that thread. I dunno if they could do it here, but it sounded like a good idea to me.
Why don't we just make it a requirement to post when voting? If you are going to give a case a vote that isnt 10 why not tell the person what you think of their case? if you are going to give them 10 just say why. it bugs the shit out of me when i read peoples posts with 8's 9's and the votes without posts are the low ones, with no explanation.
doesnt that solve any issues and make everyone accountable?
I voted 5/10 because:

Haha, this reminds me of this bloke I knew that would go around to those 'am I hot or not' style webpages, and vote "1" on all the girls.
