Journal JDWTopGuy's Journal: My next HW project 3

I plan on building a PC in the (very sturdy) cardboard box my iBook came in. It's a nice box; it even has a handle, so I'll have a portable PC. w00t!

Granted, it's going to be a used P2, but hey. My plan is to buy one of those cheap $30 cases with a 300 watt PSU. The PSU goes in the cardboard box, and my 90MHz pentium moves into the case.

Why would I move my 90MHz pentium? It's not called "behemoth" just because it's slow. See? That case has plenty of expansion room, but it's all steel... which makes for a very sturdy, very heavy, very LOUD case.

I also intend to pack a few more (low-capacity) hard drives into behemoth and share them via samba. After this PITA with the PowerBook I intend to back up my junk more often.

Speaking of which, my PB hasn't arrived yet even though Apple's site shows that it shipped out on the 26th. I suspect it's because of the weather.
