I've decided enough was enough. It was time to have a purpose built server for my mp3s/DivX stuff. I can also make serious use of my Rio Receiver i bought at the amersfoort meet last summer. The thing was my old machine is in a horrible server'esque case which takes up far too much room. So I decided to play musical cases, I bought a new case for my current machine and used that case for the old machine.

Whilst looking around I happened upon a nice CoolerMaster case for only £45. Once I got the case home and started transferring the innards when I read what was written on the side of the case. It read:

"Centurion" represents quality of Discipline, Honor, Integrity & Loyalty. Now you don't have to be Caesar to concord the digital world while feeling safe and proud.

What is all that about?

I think it's about the worst Japlish translation I've ever heard. I think they meant "conquer".

I think you mean Engrish.

However, that should be submitted.
Me.

I've kept these instructions from a cracker puzzle for about five years. Solving the puzzle is *way* easier than deciphering *that*!



I was gonna submit it to Engrish but somebody beat me to it.

I've just submitted it to engrish.com so we'll have to see wether they use it or not. They do have a computer section.
