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.
well it definatly looks like it paid off. i noticed you have a laptop cd drive, did you use laptop parts or an adapter? and again, that rig looks great, nice lighting too
If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
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.
thats awesome! and good to see you around. If you have any postings of the contest and if you get published post it up here and I'll bump it to the front page :)

Outstanding to hear that you got the honorable mention and may have the mag. article. Your mod of the Batmobile deserves the attention, you did a fantastic job on it. Happy Modding to ya.
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.
my week wouldn't be complete without watching Diggnation
