17" Monitor Case Modding -- The "iMike"

Posted by timothy on from the lots-of-time dept.

greyrax writes "So what does a Canadian cabinet maker who's a closet techie do during those long winter months? You modify a 17" monitor case to house your computer (think iMac). The blow-by-blow descriptions and pictures outline this three-month project. The only question that I'm left with is 'What is that antenna for?'"

      I think I counted at least 9 fans. It's a wonder that thing doesn't just float by itself.

    It may not look like an iMac, but it's just as ugly.

  4. not a farm implement by chunkwhite86 · · Score: 5, Funny

    This thing is a farm implement. It's a high-quality farm implement, and I admire his work ethic, but it's still a farm implement.

    I think that this compares to (in appearance anyways) to those silly rice boys who take a honda civic and lower it and put on a big wing and muffler and wacky paint job.

    The term to describe this look is the "angry kitchen appliance" look.

    ;-)

    But they certainly didn't ask for my opinion so I'll STFU now.

    So much time could be saved on Slashdot if people would put this sentence at the beginning of their posts, instead of at the end.

    That feeling goes up exponentially thinking about someone trying to discharge the caps without someone there who knows what they're doing to guide them.

    Don't worry, they'll have no trouble discharging the capacitors...
