I was just thinking of a PC that has an LCD screen that mimics Star Trek tricorders or the ships computer. Possibly even go as far as voice commands within windows or linux.
Since I've found this site I'm just teeming with ideas! I don't really have the cash to follow through with some of them, but I may try something this coming sprint/summer ('06). Right now I just don't have the time due to the holidays.
Another project that I had thought of is creating a computer to make it look like an Asgard computer (from StarGate SG-1). They tend to use wierd rock looking "mice" which I'm sure a wireless mouse could easily be modded to look like. Heck I'd go as far as to mod a mouse pad just for it.
Yet another would be utilizing a monitor casing to house the components of a pc plus LCD monitor hardware. I've seen this done though. Although the one I saw was done fairly sloppy and had a ton of hot glue everywhere. Good idea though...to some extent. I could see heat being an issue.
I've got a Antec 160 case that I got from Newegg. Expensive I know, but eventually I do plan to cut it up for a mod. Just need to buy a dremel first ;)
btw: Its good to be part of this community. I'm new ;)
