My idea...
« on: January 31, 2004, 09:29:01 am »
To build a control panel with common button layouts etc.. and put the pc inside it  ;D .

Have some built it speakers, output for external speakers and a port for the monitor to connect to!

I think its pretty cool/CHEAP if you dont have the room or money

This was done commercially for a little while.

Go for it!  I'd probably do it if I didn't have a laptop, but I do, so it just doesn't make as much sense for me.
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

The trick is to make sure you have good ventilation going through the box!  Heat would buld up pretty fast.
