Added :D

Wow! lots of work was put into your companion, I dont know how I missed your project log in the past?! I really like what you did with the LED's too.

Lies! Fake Cake! Need real ones! anyway still 11/10 for ingenuity.

Absolutely love this mod! 10/10

Thats pretty amazing, looking to sell it? lol

Really nice, i remember glancing at the project log.
I can appreciate the hard work put into projects like that.

10/10 here. Practically perfect design and form, just wish it had a little more power than an Atom :/

I already told you how great this is in the worklog, so I'm leaving you with a perfect 10/10. Actually 10/10 does you nowhere near justice. It should be ∞/10.

That is outstanding.

Mad props. Beautiful work with the LED's too.

WOW is really all there is to say.

perfect! 10

That is some kind of wonderful. 10/10

Well, get on mass producing these would you...we all want a companion

Flawless

Thanks! The original purpose of the cube is that of a media server and firewall/router. So I went for quiet, low power and decent performance. The Atom 330 dual core fitted the bill :D

Wow!!! 10/10

grandmaster work of art :D.

10/10 superb!

Is it a wireless router / firewall / media server? lan socket seemed to be obstructed

Yup. In the worklog I also commented on that, the back heart will normally not be removed as the server won't be needing a screen (but it's removable if I have to attach a screen for troubleshooting and installing new software for instance).
The network cables will be plugged into the sockets and bent 90 degrees down into the cube, coming through the spacing between the heart cover and the panel at the bottom towards the switch and WAN connection. So there's not going to be any wires on any side of the cube except the bottom :D I didn't want to cut a big hole anywhere on the cube for wires so this way all the sides look identical.

Haha, of course you're entitled to your opinion, but I'm just wondering if you're normally this pessimistic or do you just have very high standards? :D "Awh, that's absolutely awesome! Nah, I'll give it a 6". Haha

10 .... out of 5 ...

Although you're entitled to your opinion, I can't help but notice that there's always one guy voting 1/10 for most of the really great mods in the gallery? I'm not saying it's you, but one can wonder... ;)

Jealousy? I mean I wanted to vote 1/10 too, but I clicked the wrong number :D

I voted 10/10 because that was as high as I could vote!!!

That's just poor really. How could one of the most memorable game characters ever be considered ugly?

I bet you are the kind of person to throw your companion into a furnace just to get out a door!

No cake for you.

awesome mod, truly


ignore calibre: he's a troll and just goes around voting cases down to 1/10 because he suffers severe penis envy over his duct-tape PC

Your 1/10 vote was "real mature" to begin with.
But lets not bust out a fight.

I don't usually vote on projects, but from conception/design through execution, you did a superb job. 10/10

It is a metal cube that appears in the game "Portal". It is an aid to solve the puzzles in the game. It is implied in the game that this cube is your only friend. Its tragic death touched the hearts of many, thats why its so popular, thus the build.

Im not trying to continue a lame argument m8. Just stating that people shouldnt really comment on things they dont understand. But then again, the net is full of idiots, no one can change this.
