    Default Project R2-D2 PC -- UPDATE 7/24

    Yes, I'm a Star Wars geek.

    Here we go again. Another project is lined up. I will be making a life size R2D2 from scratch. I'm estimating that it'll be about 4 feet tall and about 2 feet wide. The material is still sketchy, but I'm either using plastic or thin aluminum. I know that it will be heavy so I will use casters under the feet.

    Currently I want to put in an Athlon 64 system, but do not know if I can afford it. I've entered several contests as of late with my mods and if I win any I'll know the projects' specs. Otherwise Air Force One will get gutted for R2D2. I was saving money for a Vapochill case to replace AF1, but I think that my ideas on this one will be worth it. Also, my Exos will not tag along. I have a complete Watercooling setup from Danger Den ready for the project. It includes a 120mm radiator and the DD RBX.




    Anything that you can think of to try to encorporate into this mod will be handy. Thanks.

    3d Holographic projector, Welding Tools, Self Propeld.

    I would Go with the 1st R2D2 and skip out on trying to add Jets to the legs.

    SWEET!! That should do quite nicely. Are you going to cut and rejoin it to make it more cylindrical instead of slightly conical?

    yeah, but considering he is going for life size. It should be more than adequate. Should be easy to figure out an airflow system

    That's true. I can think of a lot of ways to set up cooling in there... should be pretty easy, considering the space

    Get little mini propane tanks, electric lighters and you've got a show-stopper... not to mention you get to be best friends with your local fire department.
