Vegitales Case Mod
2004-11-17, 6:46 PM #1
So I've taken on a few new projects in my Cisco I class. In advance to passing the current class, I've offered to up an old Win95 HP, with a 2.5 Gig Book HD. We plan to put a new everything in it. We're bending back bridges between ports for the old motherboard on the case to make space for the new one. We've pretty much got the fixing up part completed. What I want to do is make this PC completelly child safe for this guy's Kid's.

I'm going to be putting a crapload of spyware protection on their, making the thing an iron box. I'm going to install Firefox with a crapload of the plugins, as well as monitoring systems, etc. Basically, I'm packaging this thing to ship as if new to a bunch of little kids. I don't want them getting on the wrong sites, and I want this guy to be able to control what his kids can and cannot do.

Once all of this is done, I had decided: "Hey... why not mod this baby?" At first, I thought about flashy lights and a cooling system with a nice paint job. That's about as far as I've gone with my case moddings before. Some plexiglass, a few lights, some nice fans, and that's all she wrote. I talked to the guy, and asked him which theme he was interested in. He put down the idea of spongebob squarepants (Which, despite my distaste for the annoying yellow seagoer, I was looking foreward to making a big yellow box with pants etc) because he doesn't let his kids watch normal cartoons (Extreme Christian) but then he'd mentioned Vegitales. Now I used to watch this when I was young, but no longer do I remember much of anything.

My question to you people is: Give me your creative ideas for a full PC mod with Vegitales. The mouse and monitor will also be modded. I'm also on a tight budget: Little to none. I can get scrap metal easily, same with wood, and I'm willing to fork over some money for simple things like paint plastic and whatnot, but I don't have a lot of sit down time with it, or money. I'd also like to relate it to a more well known Christian story, like noah's arch, or something similar. Lastly, he's got little to NO space at his desktop, so he can't have massive things sticking out at odd angles. We can easily cut into the box, paint it, add extremities, but nothing massive.

OK Massassi: Inspire me!

I honestly don't know what the dimensions are. 18 inches tall sounds about right. I couldn't even guess the depth. It's almost 8 inches wide though. I'll measure it tomorrow in class. I'll be taking sequential pictures of the mod as I go, by the way.

Any other ideas on top of Genki's? I'd like to be a bit more creative than just make the different parts different characters. That'd also take a lot of effort, and space to sculpt them.

Oh, and to respond to Genki: You know me far better than that! Me!? Being the athiest you know I am, you think I'd go to BEST BUY!? You're mad!

Maybe put up a big fancy-pants image of the characters on their ship or something since they were pirates?

Hmm...

Make the keyboard look green...?

I'm kinda short on ideas.
