A Present For Everyone

[clocker]

If you have been following the construction of Orac3 by G-gnome here is a holiday present for you -Part 3. (http://www.bit-tech.net/article/118/)
If you haven't seen the first two parts of this series, I hope you take the time to start at the beginning...it's well worth the time and effort.

Without doubt this is the most extensively/obsessively modified computer I have ever seen.
G-gnome has raised the bar for us all.

Happy Holidays, all! :D

Yes, I am.
He hasn't done anything that I couldn't do as well.

Not to take any credit away from his achievement, but quite a bit of what he has done is pretty standard hot rod detailing, an area in which I have some experience.

i am in fact a 15 year old treckie with great apreiciation for that whole chrome industrial, wires everywhere, sparks flying phasers its just so cool

[clocker]

I think that the most interesting thing about this project is not so much what he has done, but the extent to which he has done it.
Personally, I would have run the cables in a much more organized/geometric fashion, but I really admire the willingness to work down to the smallest detail.

Plus, I think it's notable that he has done all this with fairly common tools, nothing that the average DIYer wouldn't have already, really.

i can't wait til the end when, and im hoping he will, says how much time and money this cost

[bob_the_alien]

Hey clocker, your new avatar really through me off, took me a second before I relized it was you in the thread. :blink:

But anyway, I agree with you, the amount he has actually done to this case is outstanding. Allot of time has went into the creation of that case, time and love.

I will just have to check to see what "Blakes 7" is cuz I've never heard of it.

Clocker is HAL!

Why do you think his grammar is always faultless? :lol:

(BTW did you get that HAL idea from the HAL9000 case mod thread in the overclockers forums? (alternative modding))

That article is truly extreme, I wish I had the money to commit to something of that scale

I don't think so, although I did see that thread.
I've been a fan of HAL since the movie first came out and recent changes to my casefront sorta jarred my memory.
For a while I was going to do a HAL replica, but decided not to.

My grammar is hardly faultless, just above average, but thanks anyway.

Yeah I thought that, very biomechanical with all the ringed chrome tubing, if they had been black it would have looked like an Alien from the Alien series
