Mini-ITX PC in an Atari 800

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the retro-look-with-brand-new-feel dept.

tgeller writes "As case mods go, this one's not the weirdest, But it has its own retro charm. Musician and geek Andy Hutson slipped a Mini-ITX motherboard into an Atari 800 case... and used an old cartridge as the mouse! Too bad the original keyboard's not functional." This almost makes me want to tear apart my old Apple //c and see what I can make. Almost.

    Walk with me, oh my Lord, Through the darkest night and brightest day. Be at my side, oh Lord, Hold my hand and guide me on my way.

    Sometimes the road seems long, My energy is spent. Then, Lord, I think of you And I am given strength.

    love this hymn very much :)

      I would like to express how deeply saddened I am to hear of the death of Laura Sadler. An actress who I grew up with on Grange Hill who blossomed in one of our best loved shows. As her heroine, Marilyn Monroe, she has been taken from us so early in life, but will be remembered in her work and will no doubt be looking down upon us. My deepest condolences to her family and all who knew her. To a rising star, now shining from above.

      Rest in Peace.

      God Bless X

    I feel so sad for the tragic loss of such a talented person. I love Holby City and watch it religiously every week. Laura was such a brilliant actress and really won the hearts of thousands of viewers. My heart goes out to her family, friends and colleagues alike. I know she will be deeply missed.

      Truly tragic. Was there foul play involved?

    She died on Thursday evening at the nearby Charing Cross Hospital.

    I am tired of talking with you. You are a senseless, unintelligent amoeba who has somehow, most likely due to the intervention of a holy being, gained the ability to comprehend the language known as English and type it.

    I don't understand why the goatse.cx guy won't reveal his identity. Is it because his wife (check out his ring-finger) would not understand?

    Or is this guy a business genius? First he waits until he's become a legend and then he'll crack down on every site featuring the famous picture (or a link to it) demanding royalties.
