Model Porsche LED Case Mod
Built in a 1/6th scale RC 1997 911 Twin Turbo Porsche, painted in color shifting car paint. After gutting the RC innards, inside I placed the motherboard of the computer. Then, I pimped it out, added cathodes underneath, LEDs, and water cooling. The case below the car mod was only there to hold the two powersupplies and extra hard drives until a replacement could be built. See here for more.
An internal view of this computer. Here you can see the Waterblock in use. The internals are lit with a Blue circular cathode tube. Sharp eyes, and those who view the picture at full resolution will see the ’sponser’ decals placed along the motherboard tray.
I know…the base it’s sitting on is ugly…but this has been replaced with a low profile custom tinted lexan base that holds the water cooling kit, the 500 Watt power supply, DVD-RW, and extra hard drives (The 500W psu runs all but the main board power…for that I mounted the original itx powersupply inside the car’s ‘trunk’….ie under the
hood.)
