Build Your Own Heavy Metal Server

Posted by michael on from the vroom-vroom dept.

MC68040 writes "Well, this has to be one of the weirdest computer mods I've seen this far. The heavy metal pc takes compting to maybe not a new but different dimension. Computing on wheels, and we're not talking a car computer here. Have a look for yourself, 2x3.2 GHz on wheels, it's sure worth seeing if you're interested in mods."

    I wonder how effective a lawsuit against slashdot for the bandwidth costs + lost revenue would be.

    Not very. The courts have ruled that links are not illegal. If you don't want people to visit your site, your best course of action is not to have a site.

  11. Great machine... by FunkyStickman · · Score: 2, Informative

    This machine was actually completed over 6 months ago. Yes, it exists, you can track it's progress on the 2CPU.com Forums. Make sure to bookmark the site, once it's back up it will be well worth a visit. I don't think Corrugated will mind the extra attention. For now, you can read the thread HERE and see some of the specs on it (and people's reactions). No pics, as they're linked to the same poor server. The original thread is HERE. It has a handmade aluminum chassis, wing, go-kart wheels (the racing kind) and a working CPU-load tachometer. And lots of chrome!
