Mini-ITX PC in an Atari 800

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.

With all the interesting things in the world...

...do we really need *another* story about some idiot cramming a crappy PC into a crappy case that wasn't designed to hold it?

It's not like this wonderful conversion will actually do anything a normal computer can't, except it will look crappier and work worse. And quite frankly, if people have money to spend on this type of bullshit maybe they should consider joining Greenpeace or World Vision and putting their money somewhere where it will do someone some good.

Alternatively this individual could use the money to get some life counselling sessions and work out why doing something this pointless is meaningful to them. Of course we must ask... who's sadder, the sad-sack who builds the PC in the Amiga case or the sad-sack who voluntarily reads about it and then writes a diatribe about how it is a pointless waste of time and money...
