I'm gradually getting closer and closer to the end of this mod, but here's the basics: I'm putting a computer in my car's trunk, and I want it to blend in. However, my car's nickname is The Red Dragon (not related to the movie), so, I thought it'd be way cool if I could set up the computer as the "Dragon's Heart". (You might have seen that movie, it's a good one : P)

Anyway, I've got the comp and everything, however I dont know what to do to make the computer look more organic and heart like.

Here's the picture:

Yeah, I know there's no computer in there, it's just the side pannel. That's because I was too lazy to put the whole thing in the car. The side pannel will eventually have some mesh over that hole, and the computer already has 4 red LEDs lighting it up.

I'm not really limited on space, because it's a 1989 Oldsombile 98, and the trunk measures 60" across, and 40" long. My initial plan was just to have mass wireloom going places, however I think I'll need something more. So if you've got any ideas I'm more than willing to think about them : )

this isnt exactly the same, but mashie did a mod and that technique could be used on your case.
