What do you think about this idea....Stapletron?

Forget all that crap about the crapper in an earlier thread. We don't need to modify no stinking toilets. :coffee:

I have a better idea. What do you think about "Stapletron"? My oldest son Tom did this project for art class. It's at school right now, but when it comes home I have an idea for a new case design... :deal:

 

lol, that's pretty awesome. What's it made out of? And does it come with staples, or do you have to buy your own?

 

that looks cool. what size staples it use?

But where u going to but the computah?

 

I need to get a better look at it before deciding where parts might go. I bet the motherboard would go in the top section, with some good ventilation through the use of some fans. I can just visualize how nice it would look on my last glass table, using blue cold cathodes. Oh, you get one box of staples when the machine is delivered. I wonder if www.staples.com would sponsor me?

What suggestions do you guys have?

 

Delivered? You said it was a project, I was assuming he made it. It looks hand made, what was the project? What are the details?

It's green so I don't know, would blue CCFL's look right? Yellow would pop.

 

I meant delivered as if you bought it from me, built complete with a computer inside, and I would include a box of staples. Right now it's only a hand-made sculpture for an art class, and it's at GMU awaiting a grade. When it comes back home later this year, that's when I get a better look at it and perhaps decide to mod it. Until then, I can only look at my pictures and speculate. Yellow cold cathodes might look good - if you could find them. Can you find them anywhere?

 

Shouldn't it be Toms choice whether it be modded or not?

 

Yep...

If I mod it, it would probably be for him to use. If it isn't a replacement for his current case, then I might buy it off him.:frog:

 

i noticed x changed his sig (you missed your pro-non-stock cooler )

Man a stapler would be good, but its a art piece, so u better make sure the insides can withstand the weight!

And Staples.com looks like a sponsor candidate!

 

Buy it? Man after all you've done for that kid he better give it to you or I'll come down there and smack him good.

Yellow CCFL's shouldn't be hard to find, worst case scenerio use white ones with a yellow gel.

 

If you could point me directly to the yellow cold cathodes (should they exist), I would appreciate it. I suppose I could try white ones with a film in front of them, but it's not the same.

Oh look, it's Australia's favorite supplyer, Sunbeam. ^

 

Oh my, yellow cold cathodes...

 

That's where I'd get 'em, AC Ryan is da bomb!

 

I ordered some yellow cold cathodes today, along with a few white ones. I might use a yellow one on my blacked out "Big Al's Computers" laser-etched window that's going into that Sun keyboard tray. Yellow should look good with black, nes pa?

 

Dont Dis Sunbeam

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yellow tube of light

 

They'd be perfect for the bathroom mod!

Someone (maybe it was one of you guys) once told me to mod an old toilet I had here. Wouldn't that be cool? with yellow CCRL's in the bowl and all?

 

"Dont Dis Sunbeam"??? Did we disrespect Sunbeam recently? My cold cathodes are actually Sunbeam models, as opposed to Logisys.

Yellow cold cathodes are a good "wake me up" in the morning, so they would be the color of choice.

 

They're yellow, like the sun, so Sunbeam ought to be able to make them decent for goodness sake.

 

"Oh look, it's Australia's favorite supplyer, Sunbeam." Sounds alot like ur trying to insult them
