Take a drive over to home depot and buy yourself a nice 18v cordless drill (~$350). Bring it home and throw away the drill, charger, instructions, etc. You should be left with a nice hard plastic case.
oh he's breakin' heart throwng away an 18 volt cordless drill.Man you'd think he'd at least keep the drill for parts.
here's text as its already/.ed
Materials:case_closed
* 1 Toshiba libretto. (or similar sized laptop)
* 1 GPS receiver.
* 1 collinear antenna. (www.guerrilla.net)
* 1 dewalt drill case.
* 1 sheet 1" plastizote.
* dallop of contact cement
* little bit of velcro.
* a bunch of speedy rivets.
* 1 1104 box w/ receptacle cover.
* 1 duplex receptacle.
* nothing better todo on a weekend

Take a drive over to home depot and buy yourself a nice 18v cordless drill (~$350). Bring it home and throw away the drill, charger, instructions, etc. You should be left with a nice hard plastic case. Using a sharp knife cut away all the platic baffles leaving only the one compartment on the left side of the case ( its the perfect size for the laptops power supply).
Now take your plastizote (a very dense closed cell foam) and lay it on a large flat surface, like a table;). Open the case and make a depression into the material. Quickly cut away the impression that you made and repeat. You will need two inserts for both the top and bottom of the case.
Glue the first two inserts and install one in each halve of the case. You can then layout and mark your hardware on the other two peices. Using your trusty, very sharp olfa blade cut out the patterns you made and carefully glue and secure in their respective halves.
To build the antenna follow the instructions on http://www.guerrilla.net. This design can easilly be made sectional by solering pcboard stand-offs onto each of the peices so that they can be threaded together. You can then build your radome in two pieces using a 1/2" TA fitting -> 1/2" threaded coupling scenario. Securely fasten the bottom half (glue) while allowing the upper half to float (make sure it is supported within the tube)
The receptacle was added so that while driving i can plug the case into my inverter and utilize the extra outlets for the antennas amplifier.
Technical:
The laptop is an overclocked (75->100MHz) toshiba libretto 50CT with 32M ram and a 10G HD. It is running FreeBSD 4.8-Stable. Kisemt, and GPSDrive are used for wireless activities. The GPS is a Garmin GPSIII plus.

If anyone is planning to do this, you can get the foam here (main site, search for unifoam).
It's known as computer foam, special in that it's nonconductive and doesn't create electrostatic discharge, which is probably why they chose it for this purpose. You'll find hard drives often encased in it.

I think wardriving is a stupid term. The first time I heard it, I pictured a bunch of college kids in hopped up rice burners (with the performance enhancing belly lights, of course - think "Fast and Furious") tearing down I-5 trying to run each other off the road. So, wireless wardriving... huh? You mean they used to use some sort of wire to run each other off the road, but they became obsolete? I'm confused!
And what do you call it of you hop from cafe to cafe on foot with a laptop trying to connect to wireless access points? Wireless wardining?
Hey, if GW talks to Rumsfield on his cell phone, is he wireless warmongering?
If you had not already said it, I would have done so myself. Note my name.
The English subjunctive mood's ailing health is a linguistic tragedy, but it hardly compares to some of the language's other maladies. Email and chatrooms seem to have somehow brought many to the conclusion that punctuation is only needed when ending a sentence with question marks and exclamation points(and that multiples of these marks is acceptable), that the shortest, most common words are the ones that need to be abbreviated, and that emphasis is a proper use for capital letters.
Teenagers and adolescents are turning in essays in English class containing gibberish like "w/e," "alot," "b4," and "ttyl i g2g." After March of 2005, the SAT I will have an essay section. That will be quite interesting.
Mutterer, I always find it amazing(amusing?) how clueless people are about their own language. Even after pointing out their error, they fail to recognize it. Whenever I point out a sentence where the subjunctive mood should have been used, there is a high chance of getting a response along the lines of:
"But James Bond isn't plural!"
You dolts! Haven't you ever ever even seen the inside of a grammar book? I sometimes wonder.
Slashdot Mirror
Bond is not a pathetic loser
James would knot have this.
:)
1) It's not in an Aston Martin
2) It's a fricken breifcase. he'd just put it in his watch
3) it requires more than a twist & push of a button.
So no, this is a geek case, not a james bond one.
As a rock-in-roll Physicist once said, No matter where you go, there you are.
A website that goes by the name of penix.org? That just seems *wrong* somehow? :-)
It appears the site is slashdotted already, so I figure this mirror should work fine.

Sigs are like bumper stickers.
We have a highly-regarded, modded-up post that misspells the word 'not'.
You would think that, wouldn't you. But it turns out that, unless you like to see crap in a rebuilt plastic tool case, you would be wrong.
I'm an American. I love this country and the freedoms that we used to have.
They slashdotted my penix!

Mcguyver was into wireless wardriving?
He'd use a paperclip, a battery, and one LED.
