The Bender PC Case
malorkus writes "This Norwegian site details the process of building an awesome Bender (from Futurama) case mod, complete with an Optical drive in his mouth that you slot CDs into! (Be sure to click the link at the bottom of the page to see the next page in the sequence)." This is one of the most impressive DIY cases I've ever seen. Props to the artists behind this one, even if I can't read any of your words!
....if when you inserted the media into the mouth, the eyes indicated a play, paused, ff, or rr sysmbol.
Add a humidor and a couple of cigars and it would take it over the top.
Even better is that when DRM material is inserted, "Bender" would output "Get bent"
Nice work
"Look Lois, the two symbols of the Republican Party: an elephant, and a fat white guy who is threatened by change."
Damn, you could go nuts with this thing.
- Turn the eyes into drive indicator lights
- Put a speaker in the head so it can make witty Benderisms on power-up, etc.
- Make the arms semi-rigid with steel cable shielding in them for action posing!
- Stick a popcorn maker in the head
Unfortunatly as long as the motherboard and ps have to sit in the body you can't add a beer cooler in there. Condensation and electronics don't mix.
Now the guy should make a Leela PC with ultra-realtisic silicon body parts.
It is by the juice of the coffee bean that thoughts acquire speed, the teeth acquire stains. The stains become a warning
I hope you didn't read my post and interpret it to mean I was knocking having all those things. In no way did I intend for my comment to come across that way, but I can see how it might. I was mostly just responding to the conformist view of what adults are expected to be doing with their time. I really wasn't trying to criticize choices people have made within their own lives.
$5 / month hosted VPS on linux = awesome!
WTF would I want to read about the mundane details of yet another case mod? This thread is useless without pictures.
