Where the devil can i get these brackets from?

[CU_AMiGA]

Hello!

I was cleaning and dusting my Amiga 1200 the other day and i noticed that a few cables were hanging out of the back of Amiga through the slots at the back of my Power Tower, these cables being the Silver Surfer Cable and the Blizzardvision cable. I remember thinking to myself at the time "well #### me! This Amiga looks like a complete and utter ####ing mess! I better ####ing do something about it quick! Before the whole thing ####ing blows up like a ####ing time bomb! Then i would be completely in the ####!"

I hope that everyone knows what i mean. I am not too good at describing stuff, but hopefully everyone knows what i mean, if not then i am doomed! :-(

Regards,

Do you type the swear words and wait for them to be censored, or do you type lots of #s?

You mean PCI blanking plates? You could buy an ancient PC (or get one from a skip) and harvest them from there, i guess.

You're not a Derek and Clive fan, perchance?

Yes! You've got the point! :-) But i can't seem to find any. :-( Are there any poeple that would kindly have any spares for me to buy off them or point me in the right direction as in websites. I guess another alternative is to look in boot sales or computer stores/shops.

IIRC, DoomMaster has helped in the past, 3M or Matsushita (don't recall well) in the development of that brakets.

Thanks for that, but where do i get these from? I am pretty desperate for these, as my tower looks like a complete mess at the moment.

One suggestion-

Put an add in your local classifies (Newspaper or Trading Post) offering to take obsolete PCs off ppls hands for disposal!
When the first usable case/machine appears, say "thanks", retrieve the TANGS, and any other usable parts, . . . .
What you do with the rest is up to you! ;-)

If you mean these blanking plates

Then There are loads of them in the technical department where I work.

If someone came in asking for one, I would give them half a dozen for free. They are just lying around.

Just check at you local PC builder, I'm sure they should have a few spare. At most they might ask for a few pence.

It would be cool if we could configure xoops to insert geeky/stupid words like "jeepers" or "crikey" when filtering out swearwords :-)

"zoicks!"

[GadgetMaster]

Anyone with a few PHP skills could make a hack to do exactly that. (If it hasn't already been done before)

Afterall where it is told to insert '#' signs you should be able to tell it to insert random words from a  list.

Like Gazoinks!!! :crazy:
Or
"Billions of Blistering Barnacles!! :madashell:

It would be realy hilarious ! :roflmao:

Oh yes. Please do this, it would be so great!

[GadgetMaster]

Nah!

 I know it wouldn't be that great in reality, it was only supposed to be a 'tongue in cheek' suggestion. :-P

[CU_AMiGA]

HHHMMM!!!

Maybe i will have a little search for some.

Thanks,
