I built a box that is 8 inches by 7.5 inches by 3 inches. I also designed and built my own custom power supply. This could be useful to people who want to take linux into their car. It is also useful for solar powered battery operations." He sent some pictures, too, of what the 2nd case looks like, an overview, including (!) police report number (the 2nd revision was stolen), more on the power supply, and the third iteration.

    Here come the california fuckpigs,
    look how they walk, all wonky and disjointed
    Here come the california fuckpigs,
    with several leaders, beaten then appointed

    My will is bigger than my willie
    but it's pretty small
    and if I had a thousand reasons
    I would eat them all
    My life goes blurry like a donkey
    with a bandaged head
    Where are the caterpillars?
    sorry, they're all dead

    Here come the california fuckpigs
    look how they walk, all sad and out of step like
    Here come the california fuckpigs
    with several leaders, 'cause they do not have to hitch-hike

    I saw a drunken bishop standing
    over by the stairs
    He puked into a metal ashtray
    after eating pears
    And laughing silently he turned
    to me and waved his cock
    It was all covered in shit
    he'd just been up the flock

    So you've got a computer with a clear plexiglas case.

    That ain't nothin. I'm wearing clear plastic trousers. People keep congratulating me on my " miniature components."

    Personally, unless the computer supply is linear (which they stopped using since the original IBM PC) I have my doubts as to wether this would blow the battery up or not.
    You need to get a clue. Thanks.
