Project Scan-a-Tron gets published...

You guys have too many of my case mods as stickys in this forum. I'm going to develop a complex or something.

Anyway, my 2006 holiday project called Scan-a-Tron has now been published on-line at PC Magazine in their ExtremeTech Case Mod section. Check out the story here: www.extremetech.com/category2/0,1695,1638729,00.asp

:beer: :beer:

 

Thanks Ian. It was a labor of love. Kind of like getting married.....

 

I've never seen this done before, and it seems like such an obvious idea now. Great work like usual Al.

 

Thanks Silverstrand. I did a Spy Sweeper update a week ago, and that killed the OS - now it won't boot. Looks like I'll have to do a complete re-install. I've had Spy Sweeper do this once before - it ruins some Windows XP system file. Has anyone else experienced that?

 

Scan-a-Tron is back up and humming along nicely. It's nice to see Einstein's glowing face on my workbench again!

 

Very gooooooooood

 

Thanks Elktron. The machine is still running on my work bench and provides Internet access to forums like this one.

 

Scan-a-Tron is now Scan-a-Tron-2

Hey guys, I upgraded Scan-a-Tron earlier this year with another laptop body, this time an e-Machines 6502 (AMD Athlon 64 processor, single core). You can see more pictures at Big Al's Computers - still going after all these years! Check out my recent builds, including an AMD FX-8150 (8-core CPU). :listen:
