Centurion 5 case? Must remember no to buy that USB stick.

[–]Drawer_Of_DrawingsDeadman 17 points18 points ago

Case brother!

[–]defcon151 5 points6 points ago

You want to be eskimo brothers?

[–]cortexstack 5 points6 points ago

Now Eskimo kiss!

[–]zaro27Spider Jeruselem 3 points4 points ago

Now regular kiss!

[–]Psythik 0 points1 point ago

Or just disable the power button from Windows' Power Options.

[–]isofat 0 points1 point ago

All of the some 200 computers at my highschool use that same case.

[–]ChristiaanH 0 points1 point ago

Upvote for Centurion 5!

Have had it since 2007, awesome. Can't get the power meter working though :(

[–]DrDoakDaredevil[S] 189 points190 points ago

Note: That arm is NOT adjustable. I plug in Iron Man and he shuts my computer down.

EDIT: People have stolen my photo! :(

[–]tdn 176 points177 points ago

He is adsorbing the computers power.

[–]Apophys421 77 points78 points ago

Good thing it wasn't the Hulk USB drive, your computer could be in pieces.

[–]branflaked 21 points22 points ago

or a Mjollnir USB drive, you would never be able to pick it up.

[–]bigwangbowskiIceman 13 points14 points ago

or a Hank Pym USB drive, he'd beat his wife.

[–]MollysaurusExcelsior! 5 points6 points ago

"Do you see Ultron over there? I built him. But do they call me Hank Pym The Robot-Builder? No. Do you see those kids over there? Those kids could have been Osborn's villainous minions, but I helped them achieve heroic greatness. But do they call me Hank Pym The Hero-Maker? No. But you hit your wife ONE TIME..."

[–]alsorobots 42 points43 points ago

POWER AT 400 PERCENT.

"How about that..."

[–]disastronaut 23 points24 points ago

Chop that fuckers hand off! That'll learn 'em.

[–]testbug0 23 points24 points ago

or you plug it in and he turns your computer on

[–]Bornork 4 points5 points ago

That's it, just shut down before you plug it in, problem solved!

[–]arenasmvp 1 point2 points ago

NO，if it stays 3 sec,it'll still power down....

[–]twitch1982Deadpool 59 points60 points ago

Fucking drunk asshole.

[–]kriggs5033 16 points17 points ago

Demon in a bottle usb.

[–]Dr_Doctor_McDoctor 19 points20 points ago

Tony Stark is a dick

[–]TheOven 9 points10 points ago

He was fighting piracy

[–]wadetypeHulk 14 points15 points ago

Put it into the left usb port, I have the same case. It shouldn't hit the reset button.

[–]apester 5 points6 points ago

They are all horribly designed but very cool looking I have the Captain America one and the shield sticks out further than the depth of the usb connector so it wont fit reliably an any tower I have tried so far.

[–]bobnine 3 points4 points ago

Just go to the start menu and type "change what the power buttons do", then change the power button to do nothing.

[–]SkyrimForTheDragons 2 points3 points ago

Then hit the switch button. Then be all Uh.....

[–]slightly_bald -2 points-1 points ago

Did Iron Man also tell you that what he did isn't trolling? That it was a prank? That, as a genius, he found your wanton misuse of the English language abhorrent? Because I feel like he would readily disapprove of you calling what he did trolling.

[–]mikerapinGambit 11 points12 points ago

If he can't be your computer, no one can.

[–]swoonfish 27 points28 points ago

Please, please, please... send this to the people who made this and get some tech-support answers to post here. Either meh or hilarious, I think, will be the results.

[–]B4ronSamedi 0 points1 point ago

As opposed to the third thing the results might be, of course.

[–]disposable-assassin 29 points30 points ago

I laughed so hard I choked on my own spit.

USB extension cable or USB hub should fix it.

[–]jm001Vision 22 points23 points ago

Buy USB hub and other Avengers USBs.

Write Avengers Assemble or something on the hub itself and pretend they're meeting up to chill. Maybe have coffee or the traditional Avengers poker game.

[–]NopeNotConor 6 points7 points ago

Or getting together for some shawarma.

[–]frosttenchi 28 points29 points ago

Or using the other port to the right

[–]disposable-assassin 20 points21 points ago

Don't think USB drives work so well in a firewire port.

[–]DasPuppetFunk 12 points13 points ago

How about to the left? I would hope he has more than one USB port.

[–]disposable-assassin 8 points9 points ago

Looks like it might line up with the reset button.

[–]LonelyNixon 4 points5 points ago

There are usually some in the back.

[–]JereHakala 1 point2 points ago

Might be that it won't even fit there because the arm is so long, I think that thing is made laptops in mind.

[–]beanso 4 points5 points ago

That's a Firewire port. You can see the extrusion on the right.

Proof: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119068

Look at details and front port.

[–]frosttenchi 0 points1 point ago

Oh derp. That's what I get for using my phone with brightness way down. Can't see details like that for crap.

[–]Totaltotemic 2 points3 points ago

On Windows 7:

Start --> Control Panel --> System and Security --> Change what the power buttons do --> Profit

[–]Froggypwns 0 points1 point ago

If the stick holds the button down, it will still shut the computer off after several seconds.

[–]almighty_bongholioDeadpool 5 points6 points ago

i blame it on that sometimes lousy stark tech

[–]krispekremy 3 points4 points ago

we sell these at officemax hahahaha

[–]DrDoakDaredevil[S] 2 points3 points ago

That's where I got it! :D

[–]hepdd 0 points1 point ago

Nice Try Computers Warehouse!

[–]overused-meme-alert 1 point2 points ago

Nice Try Computers Warehouse!

wee-oo-wee-oo

.

[–]RazsterOxzine 3 points4 points ago

Lord, my work has a hundred of those PC cases... I most find that and give it to the IT... muahahaha!

[–]Insane_muffin 9 points10 points ago

It's the master plan. Hide yo children.

[–]WoefullyAdequate 8 points9 points ago

I laughed way too hard at this.

I mean, it sucks that you can't use that flash drive on your computer, but, still hilarious.

[–]rabad1988 1 point2 points ago

Looks like someone got their karma stolen. This ended up being the top post on reddit.

[–]Snoosnoo89 4 points5 points ago

Fighting the urge to make a "I cant let you do that, Tony" joke.

[–]latarian 9 points10 points ago

TROLLED. LOL TROLL YOU GOT TROLLED BY THAT TROLLY TROLL OP

[–]natjo 1 point2 points ago

I have the same computer case. http://i.imgur.com/6bm4y.jpg

[–]RazsterOxzine 3 points4 points ago

They're the best cases.

My work has hundreds of them, this is all we use at our workstations.

[–]souv 2 points3 points ago

No you were not "trolled"

[–]BearPack 1 point2 points ago

Use the other USB port. Or Cut Iron Man's hand off.

[–]teaspoon83 -1 points0 points ago

Hello fellow case brother! I too have that same computer case. So good!

[–]theksepyro -1 points0 points ago

I have that case!

[–]SexualCasinoSpider Jeruselem 0 points1 point ago

Sorry that other dude resubmitted this and got to the front page. Don't worry, I downvoted him for you. That'll show him.

[–]eyereport 1 point2 points ago

Good form, Jack.

[–]chamberx2 1 point2 points ago

Looks like they have a whole series of these. Not the best design...

[–]OP_is_a_f4g 1 point2 points ago

Is that a Navajo basket next to your computer?

[–]DrDoakDaredevil[S] 0 points1 point ago

I'm not very familiar with Navajo basketry styles, but I got this at a Shoshoni festival over the summer.

[–]OP_is_a_f4g 1 point2 points ago

Either way, very nice! I'm Navajo and it just caught my eye.

Have a great weekend.

[–]foozuu 0 points1 point ago

seems you need a USB Hub

[–]JorgeGarrido -2 points-1 points ago

Awful title.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]DesertWolf978 19 points20 points ago

Not all towers are that way.

[–]jm001Vision 5 points6 points ago

But it seems like something they should accommodate for.

'Don't have something sticking out further than the bit you need to plug in.'

It's a pretty essential design idea. Sure, not all towers are that way, but most still have the USB slot near the bottom, so even if the button isn't there his hand won't fit because of the solid casing and you can't plug it in at all.

[–]overused-meme-alert 0 points1 point ago

Epic fail

WHOOPWHOOPWHOOPWHOOP

.

[–]Deseao 0 points1 point ago

Solution: slide computer to edge of table, insert upside down. Plot twist: USB can't be reversed. Tower falls off, implodes. Iron man survives. Cause Downey Jr. doesn't care about you.

[–]Ska-jayjay -3 points-2 points ago

Cool, so if I glue a <random object> to my ordinary but oldish and small flashdrive, I'll have a "<random object> flashdrive"?

Have you guys seen my rock&duct-tape flashdrive? It has a rock. It's taped to my flashdrive with duct tape.

It trolls me by breaking shit when coupled with small amounts of downward acceleration.

[–]dontkillamber -5 points-4 points ago

Epic.

[–]youonlylive9times -1 points0 points ago

assuming it's made out of plastic you could heat his arm up and bend it in a different direction.. or just plug him up in the back
