Project: Garbage Can

[crdb5066]

hey...

so the other day i got really mad at my computer to the point of where I wanted to throw it in the garbage...then it hit me! Why not make it look like a garbage can! You know get the point out to my parents that my computer sucks and I want a new one.So I got an old garbage can and cleaned it out(very sticky and smelly!)
1.First I hollowed out my computer so there was Nothing in it anymore...i practiced putting it together and then apart again so I knew where everything goes and attaches to the motherboard.
2.I put everything in the garbage can getting a rough idea of where i wanted it all to stay.I tweaked it a little bit until i liked where it all was.
3.i marked the spots of where everything was and used one of those exact-o-knife things (where you push the button up and a blade comes out of the handle) to cut everything out.
4.then i put everything in...checked to see for the fits and it was perfect!

I hooked everything up and took some snapshots...

The garbage can lid was mauled by raccoons so i threw it out so I'm making a transparent plastic cover for it...Oh one more thing I'm a 13 year old boy...

=D

Nice mouse you got there, what is it?

Oh, man... that's something I should've done, heh heh... I'ma give you rep for the same reason as Drew, and for the fact that that's awesome, and hilarious... you could almost put some sort of cover over where the PC components are, give it enough support to hold some things, and maybe make it into a drawer chest or something like that too...

ok hate to point out bad things in a ingenious mod..... but for one.... what about grounding issues??? ya know those lil screw holes in a mobo tend to be used for grounding things..... another note.... ur motherboard is like half an inch or less away from the carpet... and if i remember well enuff..... carpet and computers RLY dont like each other...... especial with a lack of grounding....... dude i give ya total credit for doing a awsome mod..... but ya may want to think about the safety of ur components...

CHIMAERA, if anything, pointing out the bad things in a mod helps the modder know what he/she can do to improve it, most likely keeping it from dying in a not-so-fun way. If anything, constructive criticism is quite helpful, unlike the criticism I recieve on whatever I do, no matter how successful or much of a failure it is...
