Hey guys !
I had to blow away an old computer ...
But, because I am paranoiac, I don't wanted the government, crooks, ex GFs, etc, having any personal info....
So... I dismantled it in order to destroy it literally with a hammer, and I have found a lot of parts, enough to start the project of my dream !!
Here is the parts I have chosen :
Those parts mostly came from the dvd writer, the dvd/cdrom driver, the mother board, the processor, the hard drive, etc... They are composed of wires connectors, retention screws (from the side panels of the PC tower), the bars came from the dvds hardware and serve to move the laser up and down.... radiator taken from the processor unit, etc...
For the project, I decided to make a two floor crystal chamber, so I started with the first floor :
I took this part (from the hard drive) and I dremel it in order to insert the bars :
Then, again from the hard drive :
(dremel, and inserting the wires connectors inside a :confused retention screw)
Then, I took the radiator or whatever his name is, located in front of the processor, and I dismantled it in order to glue some of his parts inside the previous pics and finally added the inner part of the hard drive :
And finally :
Then, I connected the two parts of the first floor, completed with some random parts :
Then, the second floor :
I took a plastic wheel from a box and I cut it in the middle (I initially cut aluminum circle, but I choose something harder, the aluminum was too gummy), and dremel it in order to let the bars fit through :
Then, I bought a kenner Anakin lightsaber toy.... I took the electronics and I fit them inside my chamber :
Then, I insert the whole thing inside a Parks graflex :
Now, I am waiting for my two aqua aura crystals that I just bought on eBay...
Then, I will sand and clean all of the parts and fix the whole stuff inside !
But, the problem for me now... It's the electronic :sick
I want to buy a luxeon kit at the custom saber shop.... But I have a question... Can I connect the luxeon kit to the same batteries of the kenner board ??????
Or do I have to MacGyver the stuff or something else ?
If you have any comments, or advises, or modifications .... I will be very happy !!
Thanks !!!
