Hi, I'd like to show my latest (not yet finished) project:
The test-computer I'm using was in great need of a new housing :

and recently I got a briefcase , and I saw some interresting possibilities :

First of all , holes had to be made , the only tools I needed were a drilling-machine and some files : plastic is real easy to work with :

The CD_player was build in first :

Next the various parts put together on a self-made chassis :

http://images.fotopic.net/ymdid6.jpg
And then put the ensemble in the case :

Putting in some cables :

allmost done:
http://images.fotopic.net/ymdid0.jpg
http://images.fotopic.net/ymdidz.jpg
Testing with Ubuntu Feisty-beta:

What needs to be done?
*painting black the white and shiny parts you see to "stealth" the whole thing a bit (within the comming weeks)
*finding black keyboard and mouse (asap)
*buying a black flat-screen (money-issue,...)
some specs (nothing hi-tech):
PIII 1GHz
512 MByte RAM
2x 20GByte Maxtor HD
Video 64 MByte on-board
cd-player
It remains a test-computer for Linux only
but , I gave a new meaning to the "portable computer" thing :)
and I'm allways open for sugestions
