 |
|
If you look in my signature, you will see "Custom Case: Ford Aerostar".
Actually, that is the case my board is headed into.
The inspiration: My uncle and I were playing around on the Apple website, configuring the Powermac. We got it up to about $32k. My uncle: "I would rather buy a car than a Mac!"
(No, he and I weren't mocking Apple prices; we just were noticing how... pricey they are at the time.)
I know what you're thinking. I combined the two. Close.... but I DID combine computer and car. No, I didn't turn the van into a computer (it would be powerful though   ). But I'm getting my case to look like it!

Now, I started it before I decided to take pix. Let me tell you what I have done so far.
I inherited two (really) old P1 200 boards and cases. I figured, I'm not gonna get much oomph out of these. So I take the boards out, unscrew this, saw that, unrivet, bend and saw some more. Finally, I got to near unriveted cases. 
I figure, while it's unriveted, spray painting the case. So I get metallic blue can we have. Turns out, it's nearly empty.  Good color, just not enough.
And this is where I'll be finishing this story...

Sorry for the delay....
Got school, so finding time is tough.
Main case:
The top/front panel area (thinking of putting LCD here)
All I need is 2nd board to put in there. Getting it.
How it goes together
Sorry for it being so dark.
While I'm at it, and since I enjoy casemodding, I am going to show a couple others.
The 810 is in there.

STILL no pix
However, the Labtec PS/2 laser mouse I have with it is in the process of being modded. Gloss red L/R buttons.
In honor of the vehicle that inspired it (RIP  )

Good news!
I just found out, if I mount the board vertically, I am able to use a full ATX form factor board!
So I might be updating my sig soon...
Bad news:
My camera is at a loss of batteries. And I still haven't bought the spraypaint.
