Oenone built 2002
This project is a 1996 Silicone Graphics O2 workstation with an original 17.3" widescreen LCD monitor converted to a gaming machine.
Externally, the only hint of a modification is that the audio and video ports on the left hand side has been replaced with a dark blue piece of plastic. When powered up, blue light will flood from all air intakes and the dark blue piece of plastic will reveal a Noritake graphical VFD.
The most significant modification can only be seen from behind - a new chassis made out of Carbon Fibre...
Specs:
Intel P4 2.4 GHz
Intel D850EMD2
2 x 256MB Kingston PC1066 RDRAM
Ati Radeon 9700 Pro 128MB

Sparkle 300W 1U PSU
Mods:
Complete stealth mod, when the computer is powered off, only the backside will look different from an original Silicon Graphics O2 Workstation.
Chassis made out of carbon fibre.
Noritake graphical VFD.
4 x 4" blue CCFLs illuminating the internals.
Cooling:
1 x YSTech 70mm TMD fan mounted on a Swiftech MCX4000 heatsink cooling the CPU.
