Page 2 - come here for mod ideas

sounds like a laptop to me.

i woulda thought of : how about having a 17inch LCD pannel on you side pannel on the inside of the comp? now THATS a real lan party rig, one piece... well... almost. still got mouse and plugs here and there. only problem i can foresee with this is how to clear the heat from the lcd, and maybe some clearance issues with the cpu fan if the lcd is thick. but then again, i guess we could play with ducts and all.

could be a laptop, but it's a briefcase. I also thought of using a CRT, gutting it, using the front area for an LCD screen and have the rest of the extra space for the computer. So basically turning a CRT monitor into a self-contained computer.

sorry to somewhat destroy you... but its called a mac....
*edit* here's what i mean :

holy shizzle! that thing is HUGE! (the picture) hence i put the link...

and after some googling, (because i was sure my idea was implemented before) ONE link came up. http://www.pcunleash.com/bbs/zboard...&desc=asc&no=67

Well I saw a guy who modded an NES system into a self-contained computer. got me thinking of what I could do. Came up with a lego case, briefcase, and CRT....but none really are all that good.

hmm... modding a NES into a CRT monitor...

self contained games console

actually what he did was mod the NES itself. He took out the guts and put a computer in it. On the computer was set up with game emulators - arcade, SNES, NES, gameboy, N64, etc. All contained inside this little NES game box. It got me thinking of what I could make a computer into. Still got nothing except the briefcase idea. (and even that's a bit...bad)

i know... but IMO it would be cool to mod something into the monitor itself, making it like an apple mac...

go to gallery and check out there crazy pc's!!

brief case looks good. like you can transport it everywhere. you put a lcd with the composants and voila!

how about someone make a printer computer? out of an old inkjet... shell. hell; if they had a smallish dot matrix ribbon (a full inkjey plus cartidges is obviously going to take up too much room for the rest of the comp to fit) printer they could bodge it in there so it can still print (H)

Itd look rather cool imho, if pulled off well. An epson C- or R- series, for example. If its an R series, put the LCD to good use :P

haha doubt anyone will ever do this, and I dont have the skill to do so, but itd pwn :P

its kinda sad. all these ideas have already been done in the past.
the printer idea, tehre was one person who i saw his project, it was a laser printer. he put blue el wire around the paper tray, which doubled as the optical drive bay and the hard drive slot. the lcd was converted to a display introducing you to the project and all. its a shame i dont remember the links tho.

pfft, I thought for a split second I was being original ^_^

if you ever find the links PM me them

lets see... maybe is around here on the hundred page long list of pics...

hmm... about half a year ago my electronics teacher mentioned an idea he;d had years ago (he built a load of his own computers... but never really got into customizing them, but this he really wanted to do).

double walled fish tank. system inside, self contained, only power cable going in. the rest on Wi-Fi. wifi screen, keyboard, mouse, usb hub, network ect.

to see fish swimming round the computer would actually be cool. i may do it some day.

you could also, along with that idea, is have the heatsinks in the water itself, for water cooling.
