Batmobile Tumbler PC

Started with a 1/6 RC Batmobile Tumbler from Walmart. Next I dremeled out all the RC gear to make room for the computer components. Then I made an aluminum plate to reinforce the Batmobile chassis. I installed all the LED lighting in the body incorporating 7 LED hard drive activity lights - 2 in front, 1 on each side and 3 in the "jet exhaust" to change it from blue/amber to blue/amber/red. Figured out the computer parts layout and installed them with necessary mods. "Stealthed" the on/off switch into the top of the car and manufactured a remote DVD eject button (hint: it's the brown button on the right above the DVD). Voila! You have a Batmobile PC. AMD Sempron 2800+, 40 gig HD, 736 megs of DDR400 ram.

Took about a month and a half of spare time, not counting the time to figure out how to make it all fit inside the Batmobile RC.

It's a full size DVD rom. The body surrounds it making it look smaller. I had to put a remote eject button on it to open it.

It's been a while since I checked in here. The Batmobile PC just won honorable mention in a modding contest and may have a magazine article in the works.

Btw he got honorable mention in the extreme tech contest. Here's the link. http://www.extremete.....,1697,2172549,00.asp
When I saw this I was surprised it didn't do better.
(It should have beaten the John deer tractor gas pump)

I didn't get the Batmobile entered until the last week of the contest and it was a weekly thing. The week the John Deere gas pump won was kind of a quiet week. The week I entered was the week the overall winner (the Atlas case mod) was entered. The Optimus Prime mod was a good one, too.
