As I write this, the contest page is uploading. 5 MB of tar file to be unzipped on its arrival. The page? www.systemsalchemy.org/slashdot/.

As with Fort Knox's former contest, I'll start a thread for each, where we can begin guessing. I don't know any but my own either, so I can be a participant, too...woo! Well, here goes...

  I vote for this workstation as the most creative one ;-) Looks like the UK, by the beers and the license plate in the background.

I think this one wins the "most o'reilly books in one picture" award. A tricked-out case with a compact workstation area. If it weren't for all the linux books and desktop, it would just scream LAN party box.
