Case Modders - Think Small

sysadmn writes "Mini-ITX is a relatively new form factor for PC motherboards measuring only 170 mm x 170 mm. The folks at Mini-ITX.com have this page of interesting projects, including full systems built into 1/10 scale models of a Ford Focus Rally car and a VW Beetle. Another project recycles a SparcStation IPX from 40 Mhz Sparc to 800 Mhz Via C3. Not to be outdone, motherboard maker Via has its own Mini-ITX project page, with several cool automobile systems."

driving home

[Alien54]

In the old days of the Olde American Wild West, a cowboy going home after getting drunk at the bar could depend on his horse to find the way home while he snoozed off, etc.

Now what would be really useful would be a car that would drive people home safely after a night of safely killing of excess and troublesome brain cells.

A smal system like this would be a good first start.

You could use a doom or quake game engine loaded with a map of the local streets as a nav aid for the car.

I tell you, this could work.

Cars...

So, are you willing to buy the dual headed NeXTCube/NeXTDimension I've got sitting unplugged on the floor in my office? :-)
