You've drooled over it in the project logs long enough, here's the first official installment.

article

mmmm shinny

thats some proper good engineering there, wish i had some space at home for some decent tools and working area, could then try some mods like that.

very nice, looking forward to see it with all the components in.

its like a sort of 70's sci fi squidy (matrix) Hybrid, very good

Yo-DUH_87 · 7th Oct 2003, 21:17

Yahoo!!

Can't wait until the next installments

Is the article going to be seperated into many bits like the project log, or one bit mondo article?

webchimp · 8th Oct 2003, 00:31

Nice job! Just the self-awareness left to sort out.

Sadly, I think you've completely lost the "Orac effect" by building something far superior to the original crummy plastic box with a half dozen fairy lights. You're going to have to back off the quality control by a considerable margin to achieve that authentic 70's BBC special effects department look.

Similar to the logs but I'll be reorganising images and text and combining updates together etc.

The next installment has been written and should be out soon

Cheers for the comments!

Maybe some nixie lamps?

I really like that case, the chrome go so well with the plexy, all those custom connestions look stunning.

I would like to see that in real life.

Jester · 8th Oct 2003, 18:53

I'm speechless. It looks so, so, so good.

It's going to be so damned good it'll be a shame to have to put a motherboard in it. It'd be like putting a poo-smeared post-it note in the middle of the Mona Lisa.

Sheer class work, you are my personal jesus.

T[H]umper · 8th Oct 2003, 19:01

OMG. You Bit's are amazing.

First the Vesper now this.

Wow... simply amazing.

It's certainly a new chapter in the history of modding!

The bar has been raised (way above my head)

batsman · 18th Oct 2003, 17:00

G-gnome · 19th Oct 2003, 13:07

PCformat isn't that common in Australia

Any chance someone might be able to email me a scan of the page/article?

sheardjr · 19th Oct 2003, 13:32

Its just a little boxout in the corner.

CONSULT THE ORACLE
My favourate mod this month has to be the ORAC, created by G-gnome. Hailed by some as the new modding messiah, and his work is allready up for mod of the year, this is truly some exeptional work that you must see. After all, anything basedon the classic Brit sci-fi Blake's 7 has to be good, right?

http://forums.bit-tech.net/ggnome

And there is a top-down pikky.

G-gnome · 20th Oct 2003, 07:36

Thanks for that sheardjr

Just found the bit-tech site and....oh my god...you have far too much time on you hands and that mad scientist brain of yours seems to have been effected by Borg nanoprobes...a most impressive modding experience for me. You have set the bar extremely high and we haven't even seen the finished article yet...

Mod on
