    Like it!

    How about a chrome air filter sticking out of the top? Functional, of course.

    I am liking the hood scoop idea, although I might have some problems making it functional. I was hoping not to cut the top so that it would still be strong enough to support a monitor.

    Whew, that was a lot of laughing *heart skips*.

    What that thing needs is chrome fans, a hot chick painted on it, and and a can of Mountain Dew next to it.

    My apologies for not keeping up with this worklog. Well there are other projects I would rather put my time into so I am calling it Complete. Done. Fin. There is more I had hoped to do - like Red LED Tail Lights. I moved the DELL rhinestone letters to the top, since they were not mounted well on the side.

    Initially I had hoped to run Windows Vista on this old clunker, and eventually did get Vista running dispite bios ACPI incompatibilities but performance was pretty horrible. So I switched to Ubuntu 7.04, which runs pretty well.

    Final Specs are:

    Hardware:
    Cpu: Intel Celeron 1.4 ghz Powerleap 370->Slot1 Adapter
    Motherboard: Dell GX1
    Memory: 512 Mb PC133
    Video: ATI Radeon 7000 32 megs PCI
    Hard drives: 80 Gb ( Ubuntu 7.04 installed )
    Optical drives: 16x LG DVD/RW + Spare CDROM
    Network: Onboard 10/100 Ethernet
    Ports: Serial, Parallel Printer, 5 USB v2.0 (1 internal)
    Audio: Diamond XtremeSound 5.1
    Power Supply: ATX 200W Power Supply

    Software:
    Operating System: Ubuntu 7.04 with most recent patches applied.
    Office Software: OpenOffice 2.2
    DVD Playback: VLC





    Completed mods:
    Red Spider
    Blue Scorpion
    Green Machine
    Flower Power
    Pimp My Dell
    Works in progress:
    Horror-ible PC

    It's both fantastic and horrible, at the same time!
    You had to go right over the top, if you were going to get away with it and you have.

    I love it!
    The only problem is, that to actually use this computer, you're gonna have to dress up in big 1970's sunglasses and a huge affro wig!

    Well done!

    Ouch!
