Hehe, that's pretty cool. A red, green, and blue led gyroscope.

Awesome music and awesome video :D

Saw that on HAD today. Very nice!!!

Wow, that is freakin awesome!

heres a mod idea, take one of these, make a 2x5.25 bay 1inch deep res, and put this behind it. so epic...

heres a mod idea, take one of these, make a 3x5.25 bay 5inch deep res, and put this inside it. so epic...

FTFY ;)

haha... if its worth doing its worth overdoing i suppose. i expect something like this to be on the forums within the next month! lol... get crackin people...

that would look sick inside a computer!

[billygoat333]

that is genius! lol

based on the standard accepted laws of physics, calculate approximately the direction and path the red LED would take if it suffered a catastrophic failure at 3:14.15 seconds into the video, determine whether it would hit the camera, cameraman, or the wall, and the amount of force it would expend when it hits the wall, and whether that force would be sufficient to light a 60W bulb, and if so for how long. also calculate how much force would be expended in shattering the LED's plastic bulb. Finally, determine whether that force would be enough to harm small furry mammals.
Oh yes, and would any resulting sparks be enough to cause a conflagration?

(ok...oddly enough this isn't completely out of left field for me. I built a 4 foot long star destroyer in high school, made it out of very lightweight materials, only weighs 5 pounds, and calculated that the force of it falling from the ceiling and hitting the floor would be enough to light a 60W bulb for a second or two. Normally I don't like math much, so I prefer to make it fun...if not completely pointless :P )

you know, what would be sweet would be to make the whole computer spin like that. no fans needed...course, hooking a drive or two up might be a little tough.

Hmmm, this is an interesting thought.. Get me a wireless USB hub, a wireless HDMI bridge, wireless mouse/keyboard, wifi network adapter, and a power induction panel in the base, and we're set. :D
