so i was cleaning out my garage and i found an old black and decker drill the drill was about 7 years old and the box was steel and was build very well. If you ever get to know me in real life i will tell you that if you can build it or know how to build it then you dont need to buy it, so anyways long story short i started measuring and cutting the box and im planning on having it in my car as a computer to post when i go on Ti meets that way we can post info faster and have things more up to date. This computer was built completly out of bordom, i really dont expect to be posting while im driving to a Ti meet but i just thought why not.....? tell me what you guys think ill post more pics when i can  __________________ 1995 318ti Cosmos Black

Why are you not going with sata? What kind of motherboard will fit in there? These are questions to answer this extremely cool invention, I'm not trying to crap on it, just to let you know | | | | | 11-14-2007, 02:46 AM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 |

i sanded my hand pretty good, but i got the box sanded down as well, they tack welded in these metal pieces of sheet metal and i had to drill them out then rip them off as you can see the metal cut my hand and i smashed my finger with a hammer, and to top it off i got angry after i got the metal off and started smashing it with an evel grin on my face and then the piece jumped ou and cut me some more, but the important thing is that im done sanding and i dont ever have to do that. I can hardly type this right now my hands hurt so bad and there is blood on my keyboard lol __________________ 1995 318ti Cosmos Black
