Default [Plan] MVF Car PC

Hi,

I recently decided to have a go at making a computer case. I decided, perhaps ambitiously, to create it in the shape of car. My idea is to have it so that on it's own you can't tell it's a PC. Some ideas I have to do this include putting all the external connectors in the boot and modding the power socket to be three pins in a row and look like an exhaust.

I have quite alot of ideas in my head for it so I'll try and get most of them down here.

Matt

Maybe you could make it look like one of those new all-lithium cars that is plugged in and charging!

CarPC. I thought you were talking about a PC in a car. That is becoming popular now for DIY people.

That sounds like I just read a poem book about trees and flowers and the sun. Amazing.
Capability to be amazing.
It almost makes you feel like your in a musical, and everything is fine and dandy, and you're the star.
And then that's when I woke up in my desk cubicle looking out the window. How lame.

Yeah, everytime I call it a car pc I keep thinking of one that goes in a car. Need to get a car first tho

As for the look I'm thinking of basing it on the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Not sure if it will look that cool when I'm done with it tho .
