I have a 22" LG LCD connected, just not in the picture. My girlfriend gave me the idea funnily enough, much to her regret.

PC inside a guitar = no worries :lol:

i didnt know the 285 came in 2gb now i thought the 295 was like 1918mb or something awell it looks very good (Y)

 

[Gekambi]

Nice. Im more of a software person but i really like that. With the little display lights (i think thats what there for =D) will they be shon through a cover or will all the little internal parts be left exposed? Wouldn't that leave them a little over exposed to damage if you did that?

 

[Kanga-Who]

@ Gekambi; The back has a clear piece of perspex on it which holds the intake and exhaust fans. The red LED's are just an aesthetic thing to please me and light things up a bit.

@ Cabotinage; Manufactures of Nvidia's cards started doing 2gb GTX 285's about 3-6 mths after the initial release of the cards.

@ Pinkmus; I am looking at upgrading to a new 400 series card in the next couple of months, just waiting on the prces to come down a bit.

 

[The Devil]

For a first attempt at something like that it has ended up really cool. I'm think that the budget was well and truly blown.
The perspex with coloured lights are a great finishing touch.

some case modding is quite spectacular Case Mod - The Ultimate List
and I'm particually worried about this one http://www011.upp.so-net.ne.jp/kat2/pc/ern005/gra/picture/42.jpg
Personally I think it is a waste of time, talent and ability but I think rain is wet, so who am I to judge
