GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I posted this here cause its not the normal car pc. I was checkin out this guys site for something else and happend to find it, thought it was pretty cool. need to do this with a vibe modelhttp://www.gordyhand.co.uk/gal...focus/

Thats pretty cool, the only thing I've seen thats close to that are the shuttle cases...

hahah sweet, its even in a rally looking ford focus

Out of all the vehicles they could of chose they went with a Ford Focus...Me shakes his head

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"

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"it seems like that was the idea. do it just because. it's not the best car inspired computer i've seen. a dude took a tire from a car and with some very special modding was able to fit a SFF pc in there.with that pico pc you can put a computer anywhere.

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?
