    McDonald's Happy Meal PC Mod (Pics of my 2nd mod on page 2)

    Hey,
    This is my first post and my first mod.

    Before I show you the pictures, let me introduce myself. I'll be known as FRiGUi62 (that's fry guy sixty-two :D ) Anyway, I'm 16, and from Wisconsin, and I work at McDonald's!

    You may wonder why I'd waste my time and money on mod based on McDonald's? I'm dedicated to my job. If you look "dedication" up in a dictonary, you'll see a picture of me. I simply love my job. So, I mixed my two loves together (McDonald's and computers) and you get this computer mod!

    It was the Happy Meal's 25th anniversary last year. And I started the project soon after that. Sorry, I don't have any pictures of the building process, so the finished product will have to do.

    The systems specs are:

    VIA EPIA Nehemiah M10000 1Ghz Mobo and CPU (Built in video, sound, and LAN)
    Laptop DVD-ROM
    Laptop 20 GB HDD
    128 MB PC2100 RAM
    Built in 5" LCD screen

    The happy meal box is made of wood. The dimensions are 8 x 7 x 12" (About 30% larger than a regular happy meal box) You couldn't make it any smaller than it is. The LCD is built the top of the box also.

    Some of my favorite pics:

    Thanks. Here's more info on them. I got the fan grills custom made from xport1. (It took 4 month to get them, but they're worth it) As for the handle, it's EL wire layed in a groove I carved in the handle.

    :lol: That's pretty original, I'll give you that. Things look awfully cramped in there, too.

    The first thing I thought was "Great, some guy got drunk and crammed his PC into a Happy Meal box", but then I saw the pics and your first post. Quite the treat. Good construction, nice and clean, and overall quite a nice mod. Could make a nice display for Mickey-D's too :hehe:!

    It will probably end up displayed at my McDonald's soon. We're adding a display case when we remodel this spring.

    FRiGUi62, nicely done. A bit wierd, but nicely done. I would love to see you put those skillz (thinking of you, snod) to work on a Non-HappyMeal mod. But, still, well thought out and original. :thumb:
