Contest 77: Modding Lexus' PC
So Lexus has had a sneak preview of his Christmas present - a shiny new case for his PC. Seems to me we could probably do a better job, though. Here's a typical PC setup: it's a little elderly, with an old tv tube monitor that I expect is far too small for his needs. Can we build him a better box? And maybe liven up the peripherals as well? High res is here. I'm turning my computer off tonight, and it won't go back on again this year. Hurrah! So this is a two-week challenge, as I won't be posting one next Friday. See you all in the New Year - and have a great Christmas, every one of you.

Rather than modding Lexus's PC I thought Lexus would perfer to be modded himself

First thing I did in the mod was overclock. 
Things went downhill from there... |

My PC Case is being taken back to ebuyer! After finding out that the PSU is only for a P4 and not for AMD, I am taking it back (I dont have the money for the new PSU) So im getting another case that will probably suck compared to that one!  _________________ 3 Radio Visit http://www.3-radio.co.uk and listen!

That case looks pretty tacky to me anyway. No offence 
It would probably overheat in an instant. Failing that the PSU would asplode. |

A PSU for a P4 will handle an AMD. The only difference is the P4 has an extra power inlet. it's the amount of watts it delivers that matters. _________________ It must be Thursday, I never could get the hang of Thursdays |

Re: Contest 77: Modding Lexus' PC
This is my first entry in the Friday Challenge. Instead of making mods to Lexus' PC I made a Lexus PC. Well, bits and pieces of it are in there. Unfortunatly all I found was a low res picture of the car, which made it a bit difficult to add detail.  _________________ You guessed it, I'm new to this |
