Fruitfucker computer....

From the Makers of the ANNARCHY case...

We bring you: THE FRUITFUCKER!

It will be at PAX06, probably near the BYOC table or something. I MIGHT bring the Annarchy case as well, but that's a lot of computers to lug to Bellvue.

FlickR Link: Fruitfucker

I've got a thread going on [H]ardOCP where I'm going to post pics of the build as I go along, so you're better of there for updates: [H]ardOCP Thread

But here's a rough mock-up so far:

Oh and for those who missed the Annarchy case, you can see it here:

Enjoy!

    Should've kept it under wraps until PAX.

    But still pretty cool looking.

    I dunno, I almost think it would be worth it to go and buy a juicer and build it into the thing. I know that liquids around electronics is usually not done, but there have been fishtank and coffeemaker mods. Plus, you could offer people refreshing drinks from the enhanced pulp ejection system...

    The juicer would have to be completely isolated from the pc components, but the juicer controls could be controlled through an app installed on the pc and using maybe a USB connection. It would make for some awesomeness

    That is seriously awesome. Are you building a worklog for this? I'd love to see a step-by-step.

    Very much looking forward to seeing this in person.

    edit: doh, reread first post and saw link to worklog. Neat stuff.

    As for the juicer.

    I debated for a LONG TIME. I even bought a juicer. I measured and prototyped. The fact is, while a juicer will fit no problem, there is a major issue with actually JUICING inside of the case. Getting an orange in there requires taking the top off the case and that's just retarded. It should be a seamless Fruitfucker. But I came up with another idea that just might work as good as a juicer, you'll just have to wait.
