Is any of this extra stuff going to be functional? All the chrome is pretty but I just don't really see the point of bolting a whole bunch of superfluous car stuff to the outside of a PC case. Different strokes for different folks, or am I missing something?

I'm going to go with the former.

Neat idea...but not something I'd want to deal with (or look at). tongue.gif

Hence why it needs moving belts. biggrin.gif

laugh.gif Even then, it's just parts for the sake of parts. They don't really do anything. But then again, the same could be said for my CCFLs so it's just a matter of how far you want to take it I guess.

I was just asking because I've seen a very similar design before but the side parts of the "V" that made the "engine" both housed functional radiators and the hoses were really used for watercooling, etc.

I have some WOW factors coming later in the build wink.gif

The belts will not move...... Kids might put there fingers in the gears and pulleys ( I don't need a LAWSUIT)
hardnrg
it could contribute to natural selection... stupid kids with no fingers might die or something laugh.gif
