    Wow, my 2 favorite things... Computer modding, and Nicola Tesla... I would have pissed my pants, but well... No pants. That is truly amazing, Now, what about those flat panel ones that you used to see in Si-Fi movies? One of them would look nice as a window... a nice 18" one... What would happen if your HD got zapped? My window'd HD would look nice from behind a lightning filled window. Truly an artist you are! :hip:

    i know how you feel were a very under developed nation for cheap things to cut up

    but at least we stil have the good old town center market :hehe:


    /me saw plasma balls for a fiver last friday

    but

    /me skint:waah:


    i must admit that is a very nice mod linear, now all you need to do is find a way to wore it up to something like a GPO on your lcd or something like that so it only switces on when somethying happens or wire it to the HD led somehow, that would be even more cool

    no. If I did, I'd tell everyone.

    The only weirdness is that if you touch the inverter wire and the grounded chassis of your case, you'll feel a pretty good zap even through the insulation of the wire. Not a lot different than a fluorescent or neon light in that respect.

    One problem there linear...static may not go directly onto the case, but make SURE not to touch anything statically sensitive afterwards without properly grounding yourself ;)

    well that's good advice regardless of whether you have a plasma ball in your case.

    Me want...

    Hopefully somewhere in the UK must stock those decorations... or maybe I'll just find me a larger one!

    :idea: I have this picture forming in my mind of a case built around a plasma ball.

    :idea: I've also got an image forming of my Cooler Master case with the ball mounted a-top set up for HDD activity...

    Well done Linear. It looks awesome :clap: :clap: :clap:

    I 'spect you to make another artical with a 'I am locutus of borg' plate there instead. If not, I'll be extremely angry and you'll get a good hiding from me' belt! :hehe:


    FYI: I'm talking about those static dish like objects that first appeared in the Star-trek films/series featuring the Borg.

    EDIT:

    see that disk type thing behind data-tron? thats what I'm talking about. imagine one of those instead of a case-window

    you can get them off http://www.thinkgeek.com
    and it has already been done on the side of someones case, and it was posted in the modding thread. sorry I don't have the thread link. I am sure someone else will look for it for me.

    Well, the exact route for the "Luminglass", as they call this littil gizmo, is "Cube Goodies"->"Lights & Clocks"->"Luminglass", or you could try out this URL: http://www.thinkgeek.com/cubegoodies/lights/362c/
    First one to put it in his case wins!
    Enjoy!

    If you're paying, I'm in!

    I've seen several of the cheap globes around, Target has them, as well as other discount stores. Or, you can go BIG!! I'm waiting to see someone with a 6" or greater sitting in the middle (or front?) of their case!!

    Linear has always been one to set the trend!

    edit: those "luminglass" things have also been on voyager, I think that they are "nodes," or somesuch devices...

    yeah, I know they have appeared on voyager, however they FIRST appeared in the star-trek film First-Contact, which was based on the Star-trek Next Generation cast n' crew; even the description on thinkgeeks.com mentions that! :D

    I'm not quite ready (yet) to spend $80 just for fancy lighting effects. But regardless, who could resist having something like this on the side of their case:
