Project R2-D2 PC

[TheGreatSatan]

Yes, I'm a Star Wars geek.

Here we go again. Another project is lined up. I will be making a life size R2D2 from scratch. I'm estimating that it'll be about 4 feet tall and about 2 feet wide. The material is still sketchy, but I'm either using plastic or thin aluminum. I know that it will be heavy so I will use casters under the feet.

Currently I want to put in an Athlon 64 system, but do not know if I can afford it. I've entered several contests as of late with my mods and if I win any I'll know the projects' specs. Otherwise Air Force One will get gutted for R2D2. I was saving money for a Vapochill case to replace AF1, but I think that my ideas on this one will be worth it. Also, my Exos will not tag along. I have a complete Watercooling setup from Danger Den ready for the project. It includes a 120mm radiator and the DD RBX.

Anything that you can think of to try to encorporate into this mod will be handy. Thanks.

I would Go with the 1st R2D2 and skip out on trying to add Jets to the legs.

I have the body. I bought this old Pepsi store cooler.

SWEET!! That should do quite nicely. Are you going to cut and rejoin it to make it more cylindrical instead of slightly conical?

[ZeD]

Where ya gonna keep your pepsi?

[MisterChief]

That is extremely overlarge for a PC... oh well!

And add the jets, as well as that little shocker thingy!

[Zeus]

yeah, but considering he is going for life size. It should be more than adequate. Should be easy to figure out an airflow system

That's true. I can think of a lot of ways to set up cooling in there... should be pretty easy, considering the space

Get little mini propane tanks, electric lighters and you've got a show-stopper... not to mention you get to be best friends with your local fire department.
