Computers in Costume

From ArcaMax News:

COMPUTER IN A TOASTER
Hobbyists worldwide have been experimenting with installing computer components into toasters, biscuit tins, lampshades, even a plush E.T. doll.
One hobbyist built a computer inside a sewing box for a relative who didn’t want an intrusive beige appliance on her desk, while another built a computer inside a small humidor that sits beside his flat-screen television, the New York Times reports.
“I don’t think everyone wants a computer in the shape of an E.T. doll; maybe they account for 1 percent of mini-ITX sales,” Evan Wilcocks tells the Times.
The new hobby may make computers more inconspicuous.

Maybe I could put mine in the disco ball I have hanging over my desk…..

    You might buy and extra discoball first, from my reading experience it takes at least one failed attempt to build something like that, with my skillz I’d buy 4 or 5. 😉
