fancy a millenium falcon computer ?
These were the guys pre-requisites.The basic idea was to place a complete computer inside a toy/model of the
Millenium Falcon. He had several items that he decided he must
have:
- All components had to fit inside… all peripherials had to plug into the outside of the toy/model just like a real computer.
- The basic toy/model had to be painted acurately, within reason. This meant researching the models used in the movies and making a “best guess” as to the colors and spacing of some parts.
- The system must have a unique power light. This was accomplished via a special LED that flashes and fades through all the primary colors of light (red, green, and blue in a single LED)
- Through one of the “holes” in the hull, you must be able to see the inner workings of a real hard drive, preferably accented with blue electrical “sparks” when there was drive activity.
- It had to have hard drive activity lights placed into the front
“headlights” of the Falcon. Working engine lights… need I say more? - It had to have adaquate cooling…
