    Hi,

    This is my first post here. I want you to excuse my English as it's not perfect.

    I have some hardware and water cooling laying around for testing purpose. I decided to build a simple case for those parts.. But when my eyes saw these giant tires from RC truck.. The idea started shining in my head..

    Starting with rims..

    For the chassis, I cut two pieces of 6mm MDF.. and I made holes for cable management and to hold the vehicle body later on.

    I used my router to make room for tires column so it can easily fit between the two pieces of wood..

    Testing the motherboard positioning after installing the tires..

    For the vehicle body.. I used these cheap PVC pipes..

    [​IMG]

    After drawing the design and bending some pipes with my heat gun.. It came out like this.. Weird at the beginning , but I'm sure you gonna like it after painting..

    [​IMG]

    --------------

    For the paint job.. I used spray paint and I chose White, Black, and the famous Camouflage colour.

    Made the connection plug for the PSU.. I placed it in the rear left corner until I decided to move it to the centre, under the rear bumper.

    I bought some 3mm plexi glass sheets.. I bended one of them and install it as sun roof.. Also I installed the front and rear bumpers, front and rear lights and painted the video card fan..

    Unfortunately, I didn't take pics for these.. But here are the final pics after everything is set..

    I thought you were suppose to post pictures of computer parts and a mod, but instead it was just pictures of a floor/wall.

    On a more serious note, well done!
