Underwood casemod

mini-itx.com - projects - underwood no. 5

An insane canadian gutted an old mechanical typewriter and built a computer inside, complete with typewriter-key sound effects when he uses the keyboard.

While the paint was drying, I removed the glass topped typewriter keys from the typebars. Each key needed to be hack-sawed from the typebar and then ground down....Thankfully, everything fit.

Points get deducted for his apparently having to lift the machine every time he wants to insert a CD. Points fully restored for the carriage return actually working.

My comments form now uses Markdown formatting syntax EXCLUSIVELY. If you use HTML in your comments (or indeed <pointy brackets> for any reason at all) you will be assumed to be a spambot, and your entire comment will be consigned to the Great Howling Internet Void. If you want to get fancy, have a look at the cheatsheet or the full description. Otherwise just type away.
