I've been considering my next project for a while now and to be fair I Don't necessarily "Need" another PC, I mean .. who does ? .. honetly !
In fact the missus would carve her initials into my scrotum while I slept if I ever mentioned buying one ! (and she has doube barrel, triple hyphenated name with a few middle initials to go with ,, so that'd flipping tingle a tad !!)
BUT .. I really feel the need right now to 'Get my Dremel off!' so I'm conflicted
Combine this with the idea in the RULES thread of "what could you possibly do to a H50 / H70 to make it acceptable in a modders forum... and there's a LOT i reckon !
Add in some comments from MRDBristol about the lack of recent ingenuity about the place and how we all just build 800D's cuz .. well .. cuz I is ******* lazy if i'm honest lol...
and finally here we are,
Now Admittedly I am SKINT ... I spent more money on buying brownie points from her indoors to keep her quiet ! (Holidays, shopping trips and BOSE surround system) than I ever did on all the components in the rig... so I've been scrounging around a bit.
I've got a box of leftovers, a PSU and so many cables I could run a phone line to Japan if I soldered them together.
okay okay .. I'll get to the ******* point already
I need your help OCUK..
I want to get donations of your leftovers, your stash of goodies in the loft / garage (keep the readers wives ..! .. I have my own collection.. hidden) bit's of scrap you ripped out of a rig and will never use, stuff propping up the wobbly leg on the kitchen table !
I need your pipes, resses, rads broken cases, old HDDs and that celeron CPU/mobo you just can't bring urself to either install in your kids PC (even he knows better than that damn you Dad!) or throw away (Yes we know you get all sentimental !) ... NOTHING has to be in working order unless you want.
over the next few weeks + months I'll assemble and dremel and mod and paint and saw and drill something of beauty.. then finally at the very end ....
.... .... .... ..... ....... ..
I'll give it to charity mate !
.... .... .... ..... ....... ..
I'm sure there's a kids charity or something round here somewhere'd appreciate a gift of a piece of art ... (or a piece of LOL)
Whaddya reckon guys ?
on top of that I'll put up regular updates and take ideas from you the dear readers on how you think it should be built.
