Too Much Studying

[azminisk8r]

this mod is going along the theme of the garbage can one, getting a message out to your parents, i think i have waaaay too much school work and noticed during my history class that my notebook is about the exact size for a standard ATX mobo, i plan to dunk them in glue so its just a hunk of solid paper, but i need help before i start, if anyone has any old decent sized books or colege textbooks and doesnt want them anymore id appreciate it if you'd send me them, ill put my adress up in a pm if anyone offers

Umm...shipping on this stuff will be expensive. And if you think you have it bad, i have 3 shelves of only this year and last year's work. ;)

Find a secondhand bookshop somewhere and look there.

not if you use media shipping then its like 2$ for a book or sumtin

hang on, let me get this rite, you want to turn a book into a solid lump, and what, put a PC in one, ARE YOU MAD,
Mind yu, i am, Go for it. and in the UK, it would cost too much to send my few books i have left.

As above, go to an old book store, or look on ebay.com

You could pick up an old Atlas that was big enough to handle a mobo and mini ps. Hehe a 1u book server. I like!

Cool idea, I want to see this happen. Just make sure your parents don't get the wrong idea and think you made it as a tribute to studying.

You could always build a case a make it look like a book, that may be more practical that making a PC in a book, hell, you could even take a case, add some pieces on, and paint it or put a poster or something on the side to make it look like a bookshelf. Cutting the inside parts of the pages out of a book might be quite difficult, and messy.

[XcOM]

xRyokenx is right, it would be very messy cutting the pages, you would need a press.

YAY! I'm not the only nutcase on this board (well... I already knew that :p)
but anyway, this sounds sweet, it could be like one of those old retro movies where they have a gun (or chockolate, or money) hidden in a book... on now it's a comp! I would send you some books, but I'm still in high school, so were "supposto" bring our books back at the end of the year..

anyway, I'm looking 4 ward to seeing this :D:D

[Airbozo]

xRyokenx is right, it would be very messy cutting the pages, you would need a press.

You could always dip the pages in glue (or the whole book at once if you have enough glue and a big enough tray), then press them all together and when they are dry and solid, take a router to the book. This would allow you make some clean cuts fairly easy.

yep that was my idea exactly, but possibly only about 1-2 inch around the edges so i can pull loke 30 sheets at a time frome the center

no way thatd be way too easy, plus i want an out of case mod, in case is too easy then its just cut and glue

[intergalacticman]

what you can do is remove all the pages, grind them up with glue into a lump of gooey paper compound and assemble the case like building it out of clay, then stuff it inside the book cover and use it for a door

[azminisk8r]

yeah thats my plan minus the grinding it up

You got a point there.
