Only have end shots. Never took pics when I was "building" it. Haha. Was a project that a teacher wanted me to do last year in his class. I have a more advanced class of his this year, which is how I am going to get most of my computer parts due to the lack of money that i have. It isn't that great. Basically just something the teacher thought would be cool considering we have a clear acrylic case that he thought was "out of this world" and something like this to sit next to it. Anyway, here are the pics.

It is an older socket 478 board with a 1.8GHz Celeron CPU, 512mb RAM, on-board video, and I believe it is an 18" LCD. Nothing too great as I said before, but it runs decently.

Not the greatest on the eyes. But this was the first mod I have ever done. I want to redo it this year and make it better, just has to get the permission from the teacher.

Haha, nice. I am hoping to have the teacher let me do some bondo and dremel work on Karbon Kreation during class outside the school. I doubt it will be able to be done, but I can always hope. :)

Well, I had taken that thing apart and decided to make it better. I just finished it today, as well as took it complately apart because we are going to be placing it in something new. This new Idea is going to have its own worklog. But for now, I'm just going to shut up and let the pictures do the talking. These are pictures of the FINISHED carboard box computer. Enjoy.
