And in keeping with something that Tony had previously posted... and my penchant for want to do the strange and unusual......

I think it would be funny as hell to have a computer in a Gonk Doid case (something that was mentioned in jest at the armor party at Rick Hebb's place a couple of weeks ago) piloting this bad boy!
Oh, come on now, who's with me? :lol:


gods...... I am such a geek!

This was from a computer case building contest.
I remember seeing it at arstechnica a few years back.
Amazing what ideas some people come up with!

Wow... I could do that... I also plan to make a gonk-droid with a computer in it and a LCD computer montior on the front panel for my workshop... I'll put my 3000+ MP3 collection onto it and plug it into some killer speakers.
