well it wont be possible to do it with a model vibe. the biggest size of the vibe there is is 1:18 scale you need at most a 1:8 scale R/C car body (the lexan paintable ones) like these here: http://www.hpiracing.com/

I see the car, I see the PC, but what I DON'T see is the point... Was it just an exercise in making a different case?? My girlfriends X-boyfriend and his buddies made a liquid cooled computer in a old Pizza box, from what she tells me... talk about "stelth"

None. Vibe is gone.

So i took it out.but that's a cool idea, one of those unique things i suppose.

that's definitely slick. but how do you use the CD drive? do you have to pull the body off each time?
YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!
