The Great Pumpkin PC Mod

So you still have that old Halloween pumpkin rotting away on your front step right? Well don't just throw it away, put it to good use. Recycle it to be used as a PC. When it comes to computer modding or modding in general, the sky is the limit as I showed you the iMacAquarium and G4 CubeAquarium mods that turned 2 old Mac computers into working fish tanks! Now thanks to the computer store staff from the University of Arkansas, they have created a seasonally appropriate PC titled "The Pumpkin PC". Geeky? Yes, but it's still interesting to see.

Here are the Pumpkin PC's specs: a genuine field pumpkin, Dell Latitude D410 motherboard, 1.6 GHz Intel Pentium M processor with Intel wireless card, 60GB hard drive, 512MB of DDR2 RAM and a DVDR/RW drive. Note that the "eyes" are fans. The geniuses with the great imagination (or too much time on their hands) are Mike Duncan, Mark Morgan and Forest Denger. They are all techs in the university's campus computer store service center. They have a step-by-step guide on how they built this along with all the photos here.
