why is this battling?
why is this battling? It’s not complete, there is nothing that even indicates it is a computer. Maybe I should take a picture of my grill and call it a mod?

perhaps the geekiest picture on ModShop.net. Rule#2.34: Never post a picture of yourself with your mod.
Replication of objects that
Replication of objects that already exist is not too hard to do… But, a NEW original creation is the ideal… It looks just like R2-D2 though… Good job on that…
Great idea, but is it done?

R2-SRV is a Mobile Gaming server that is built in the likeness of the Star Wars Hero, R2-D2. It is radio controlled (yep he can be driven around), and can serve a game on the move (where’s there WIFI connection).
The heart of R2-SRV is a VIA Epia MII 1200 Mini ITX mother board. IT runs a 1.2 Ghz VIA processor. The Rig Sports 2 Gb of Ram, 250Gb Seagate HDD, and a Netgear 802.11g Wireless NIC. The case was hand made and is a 1:1 scale model of R2-D2. I’ve added a few extra gadgets like a in dome web cam, and on board remote triggered sound effects. The current status is 95% done… With just a bit of rewiring (to allow the dome to do contentious rotations without breaking the wires that transfer power and data into the dome), and the addition of the last few hand made detail pieces. This should be completed in time for Showdown LAN, Indy 2007.
Keep an eye out for updates.
