You crazy hobbyists and your mini conversions.

Well here is something a little different: conversions of PC boxes! Take a look. Very cool!

Interesting stuff. Way above me, but cool

I'm not sure whether I like it or hate it. It this age of making everyday items smaller and hiding them out of sight, this looks like a step back to the 50s where they had to dress things up because there was no way to hid them. It's neat but it will appeal to a small target audience. I suppose there are a few people out there who have a computer room a 2 foot tall R2D2 wouldn't look conspicuous in.

I wonder if they make a Spike trophy....

I'm planning to build my pc into my work room table. There's a convenient amount of space inside the tables closset, and I hate to have the box visible on or under the table.
Thought I'd make a small control box that is on the table that you can use to switch the computer on/off, push reset etc. Then I wouldn't have to open the door to switch the computer on
