Bit like this guy has....

I think it would be quite a cool challenge for the hak.5 crew to do. Try and make the slimest, most feature-rich (allow pictures to come from many sources usb sticks, sd/xd memory cards, etc) and to it as cheaply possible! :)

Watcha think?

You can buy a case that looks like that its called a Raidmax Ninja and it's around £50. If you wanted to make a case that looked like that you would need injection moulding or vacuum forming equipment which is not cheap.

Yeah... I've seen them cases knocking around... http://www.xcase.co.uk/acatalog/Raidmax_Ninja.html although they are £70.

You wouldn't happen to know what the power supply is like that is bundled in with the case? If it's not that much of a reliable PSU then thats an expensive case :cry:

:shock:

I think the hak5 crew should try and achieve this look on a cheap case.

I don't have the money to spend loads on an alienware system JUST to get the case. And they aren't sold seperatly - and similar looking cases are expensive.

good luck

[Connecting mobile to home LAN]

My Treo 650 does this fine via bluetooth. How it works on my phone is you set the data (ie GRPS/WAP) to a bluetooth connection and use internet sharing on a bluetooth enabled windows box to hook it into your lan.

But seeing as your phone most likely cannot do that, you easist option is to use a DynDNS account, port forwarding and your phones data plan to connect from the WAN side. I used to do this with a cheap ass LG flip phone; no problem. My advice is to tweak your end of things to be extreemly low bandwidth (ie text only), to save you money on your cell phone data plan.

I'm suprised I cannot find any information on this on google or any other search engine. Do you need any kind of special software?

The w810i is a new phone and supports wap/bluetooth etc.

Hey

I can't find any tutorials or guides on the internet to be able to connect a mobile phone to a home network to receive free internet. If this is possible - can the data be sent via bluetooth? :shock:

Thanks
