 		The registrants ph # goes to a Shu Lee and the address from the Google sat pictures appears to be residential across the street from a school. So probably nothing, but it is very coincidental in alot of ways.

So maybe the picture of computer internals does have some sort of meaning?


I don't think that it's a computer, at least not a PC. The cut holes for the fan module indicate some sort of space-optimized device. It's also a device that hasn't seen much use - note the complete lack of dust on any components, and minimal dust on the fans.

As for scale, the fans aren't that big. The board components in the foreground (specifically the crystal and voltage regulator) could be used to get an accurate measurement, but I'd estimate they're about 2.5 inch diameter.

The sparseness of the board doesn't necessarily mean that this is prototype or low-tech hardware. Something that needs as much cooling as those fans offer isn't doing nothing. However, the large caps (center), regulators (to their left) and what appears to be an inductor (far right, cut off) suggest that this is a power supply portion of the board. If that's the case, having lots of open board to maximize ground plane cooling and minimize RF interference makes sense.

All in all, I'd say that this could very well be the inside of an XBOX360 prototype. This might be on the way to the rest of what the Gamem8ker wants us to see.

 		I'm not sure if this is way off base, but if you look at the fans, they each have two little "dots" that seem to be drilled out a bit: one in the center, and one closer to the perimeter. If they were clocks, the fan on the left would point to the 6 and the one on the right would be around 2.

Those look like the residual imprint left over from the injection molding of the fans. I would say that they have nothing to do with the puzzle (but I can't totally rule it out, they could've been carefully positioned that way. Rolling Eyes )

 		On www.reset-reality.net, there is a quote from a Wade Davis [a National Geographic in-resident explorer], "Language isn't just a body of vocabulary or a set of grammatical rules; it's a flash of the human spirit, the vehicle through which the soul of each particular culture comes into the material world." This quote appears on this National Geographic page in a "Beyond the Movie" article on "Lord of the Rings":

http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ngbeyond/rings/language.html

Don't know if it means anything...

In the same vein therefore:

(425) 703-9321
Rolling Eyes OOG people, it's just a flippin' coincidence.

(-SPLAT-ed emails. And I don't see why it should be spoilered, it seems totally OOG to me.)

Edit: I didn't realise that Ms. Lee was a name of someone behind [r-r.net] Razz I think what I said still stands though, Vanessa Lee is a fairly common name.

 		Any proof that thats the same vanessa lee? The one from reset-reality.net is from chicago. The one on that page is from washington. Also superpages.com comes up with 689 other results for Vanessa Lee (mostly V. Lee). So I wouldn't jump to conclusions too quickly.

 		maybe this is useless, but the arrow doesn't seem to be pointing at the aaci, it appears to be pointing to the "right" or clockwise. maybe meaning it was ment to be viewed as a clock. The 4 and 0, well, maybe they are indicators for a date or time.

 		Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried looking for a message in the dots themselves? One possible way of including a message might be to look across the white spaces rather than straight at it (as we have to do on monitors.) Lay a printout on its side, and look parallel to the paper to see if anything exists. Just a thought.

Not quite true. Could be an intern.
