New Mac-o-Lantern

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday October 30, 2006 @05:24PM from the overclock-after-the-holiday-for-an-easy-pie dept.

An anonymous reader writes to tell us that it is that time of year again, time for a new pumpkin computer. This time it can see via webcam eyes (thanks logitech), breathe through its nose using a case fan, and talk out its mouth with a speaker system. The insides are made of a custom power supply and mac-mini Core Duo system. The lighting is made of neon wiring thanks to Startech.com mutant mods. Check out the last page with a video of the pumpkin in action."

Or at the very least, it would be nice of them to use iCarve to design a hip looking face. That was very utilitarian for an Apple... er.. Pumpkin.

So they need a "1.83GHz Intel Core Duo" to light a pumpkin?
