My shop teacher and I have taken on a little project. We are building a Dukes of Hazzard computer. I have posted pictures RIGHT HERE!!!! (http://www.3dgameman.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34640)

Ill start posting updates here also but you can check out all the previous ones there.

Im Anduril on there by the way.

sweet, a CB radio in a computer.
I want one.

over...

HA! Yea, its also going to have a push button start. Turn the key and press the on button. Its going to be great when we get it finished.

So, it's powered by corn whiskey? Are the doors welded shut so you have to slide a CD in a window?

The Dukes of Hazzard sucked as a TV show, thus it's gonna be a shtty computer

Hey, it was entertaining before they replaced the main characters.

Brilliant.

Laugh now! HA!

Partner, you better believe it can compute the trajectory of a Dodge Charger jumping over an abandonded bridge faster'n bad news travels.

Umm... I believe it?

You're going to have to learn a heap 'o country proverbs, Gondolin.

Dang Cooter, its defragmenting the hard drive faster 'n a hound dog up a possum tree, etc.

Sad thing is that I live in Alabama and I dont know these country proverbs.

I live in Kentucky, I know none of them. That's pretty sad. Eh, I don't fit in with most

Apparently

Not going to be able to paint this week on account of bad weather. We SHOULD be painting next week. Hemi Orange. Check back here often for updates and pics.

Sure, my bro will like it. He loves The Dukes of Hazzard

Finally bought the paint. Raining again this week so we will have to paint it, probably Monday.

So we SHOULD have the pictures of the painted case my next friday, if all goes as planned and weather permits.

I should get into modding, it will improve my mechanical skills which are lacking. I can put together computers without a problem and if the modding is computer related, it will certainly be a good motivator.

I just thought I'd mention this, speaking of hardware. My boss bought 40 computers that we will refurb and sell. My workspace is basically a computer graveyard, I've been tempted to take one case and mod it for practice before I get to do my desktop. I also want to mod my laptop, but I'm trying to sell it (so I can upgrade my desktop) so I think it may decrease it in value if I do a botched job. My boss just warned me because the computer graveyard is bleeding into the hallway. She's the one who bought 40 damn computers!

The problem with these is that the cases are made out of a heave polymer. I can't sand it or paint it evenly. meh, I'll figure it out.

Gondolin, it looks like a sweet project. Keep us posted!

That thing got a hemi?

HA! We'll probably end up putting one in it at the rate we're going. Im sure that idea came up somewhere when we were planning this.
