Those Darn Girl Scouts

Cd drive cut outhttp://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j286/azminisk8r/IMG_2448.jpg

and of course everything was going way too perfectly so it just had to be screwed up by having the mobo not be able to turn on, so onto the 2nd mobo, which was about.5 mm wider than the last one, so i had to find a new box and restart

mobo in, this time .3mm each side

[Drew]

I didn't mean it IS dangerous, I meant it looks dangerous...

Still love it though.

Kinda reminds me of my Banger racing days... ahhh.. gaffer tape...

[intergalacticman]

wow dont shock yourself
i have had bad experiences involving cardboard boxes, a PSU ,and a metal hard drive when i stuck my old pentium2 computer in a shoebox

[DaJe]

You should line the edges of the uneven holes you cut with some duct tape, to give it a nice clean look.

[Crimson Sky]

MMmmm....Thin Mints are teh shizzle.

[DaJe]

Don't hate me, but I don't like mint together with chocolate. I only like mint by itself, never mixed with anything.

[azminisk8r]

okay then, dont worry ive shocked myself 3 times already on the same spot, so i covered it in silicone sealant

[crdb5066]

lol nice! dont you think the cardbaord+motherbaord heating up problem might end in a bad way? anyways nice MOD!

id laugh so hard if a girl scout sold your computer for five bucks XD

[progbuddy]

MMmmm....Thin Mints are teh shizzle.

Yes they are :D

Who loves Thin Mints?
