A site that would attract an absolute buckload of traffic would be something like http://www.amihotornot.com.au... they are raking in the traffic.. in my experience it's always the simple, useful concepts that pull the traffic... like this site for example

We're on track for over 150,000 unique visitors this month. Thanks to everyone so far for helping us grow (and for increasing our server costs :P hehe)

I had a great idea (or at the time it seemed great!!) to follow in the footsteps of Big Brother...

I found the first series in the UK rather dull...the highlights were good, but if you ever took the time to sit down and watch them live during the day....it was like watching paint dry.

Anyhoo... my idea was to make a website called Big OAP (Old Aged Pensioner) and make a "spoof" site. I registed www.bigoap.com but never did anything with it.. now I have lost the host name and password etc!! ..

I was going to put "live cam feeds" to different rooms -- these would simply be still photos though, as old people dont do much...

and like big bro...they say no-one is allowed in or out of the house.. it is the same with nursing homes... people tend to stick their old members of the family in, and leave them for weeks on end! (or so I am led to believe!)

every day I was gonna post new news, like "Ethel got up, changed the tv station, and sat down again" -- you know, like stupid dull crappy news!!!

If anyone knows how to get a domains username/password, they are welome to build the site!!

A site idea that i really want to do is make a gamers site, with articles about casin moddin, games, consoles, upgrading, new gadgets! (oi! dont steal my ideas mkay!) basically everything a 16-24 gamer could want. plus a babes section. ehehe

but case modding is really taking off, ive sprayed my case reef blue and black! (wicked combo) im planing on putting in a window, few more fans, neon light. and im starting to get my friends into it as well.

theirs my ideas, (dont steal em)

Wow! Some of those sites have some pretty amazing things!

But I must say, that one site fakker provided with that foam... that's one ugly beast!

I've always been interested in modding cases, but I have no idea where to start. Anyone have tips for beginners?

my case has a window with a neon blue light. it looks real cool during the night when i turn off lights in the room. I also have neon blue lights in my room so it matches perfectly.

Thumbs up

That's a nice name. I would be interested in it if I had the time to start (another) gaming site.

sweet case... I am not sure whether to spray mine yet...

I have bought a blue neon tube, blue window, sticker (atomic), blue fan and a hurricane fan grill.....

I bought them from www.theoverclockingstore.co.uk .... but that will be no use for you being in Aus...

maybe try http://www.pcmods.com/ -- that site looks awesome... I would have bought from there... but it is too expensive paying in UK currency (getting it converted to US dollars)

My girlfriend is loosing all faith in me now... she says I spend too much money and time on my <bitchy quote>f*king computer</bitchy quote> and not on her.....

oh well!
lol!!
