120 USD R2D2 ComPuteR

Wednesday, March 25, 2009 | 0 Comments

One Star Wars fan/PC modder built this R2D2 case from under $120 in parts.

By custom cutting a stainless steel trash can, R2 had his base. Now he just needed some detail work. So the modder added wooden legs, LEDs and Vikureen polystyrene plating to complete the look. Where the plastic plating would not bend properly, you can see (upon close inspection) that it was merely sliced into strips.

Oh, and just in case you always wondered. R2D2 runs on a P4 2.8GHz with 768MB of RAM and 64MB GeForce MX400 graphics.
