I think so at least I remember the contest period for that being somewhat longer.

I know what you mean I just finished collecting my 800th laptop from students before the school year ends so I can start getting them all fixed up over the summer.

Holy Baloney that is Freaking Awesome!!!  At first I was thinking it was a robot or something one of your students might have made then my mind imploded once I realized the sight I had the good fortune to behold.

Kewl robot, kewl tower. lol Actually that gives me a good idea for a mod :) of course I'd better stop myself there or I'll wind up with more "junk" in my closet. Like this

 

This was going to be a cool Fallout 3 mod :\ never got around to it. Hopefully one day.

That's actually a good idea. I really hope you use the TV on top as the monitor for your mod.

That was the plan unfortunately you're trying to mix ancient technology with the latest and greatest, you run into so many problems. I did some reasearch and telstar actually acquired the rights to the predicta line and produced updated, colored versions but they're not cheap. however, these older ones are worth a pretty penny in working condition, luckily this one was free! Neighbor was throwing it out and I immediately took it lol.

What kind of laptops do you use? I imagine it was quite the process to choose a model that would hold up to school kid abuse. I agree with you guys I'm ready to see Marco's build vid!

I just watched the ibuypower.com build video. It was pretty cool, soooo many radiators!

 

Now you're just mashing it!

The Thermaltake Level 10 is still a head turner one of a kind case.

Wonder what the wattage is on that power supply? I am sure it is up to snuff just curious.
