I'm so screwed.

Considering you didn't dare take the case off a Mac Mini - stay away.

Actually, I did take the case off, after careful planning and meditation.  :-)

Hey, I've built an arcade machine nearly from scratch, how hard can metal shopping be really?

Especially with such detailed instructions.  Go for it, dude!

I never thought muppet could give sharky an orgasm until now.

Is it just because I'm reading this out of context, or is this guy really someone who should not be allowed to write technical docs?

Can you fit a midget inside?

"I never thought muppet could give sharky an orgasm until now."

Silly rabbits.

Robots are the funnest thing ever.  Seriously.  There's nothing better.

My SO will actually, literally murder me with real weapons and blood if I start building a lifesize R2D2.  The cost just for tools, let alone materials, would flatten us.

But it's soooooo coooooollllll.... You *know* you want to....

You could build a little fridge inside and have it fetch you drinks...

With that and the lightsabre, think of the really, really, really bad campy movies you could make.



These are not the droids you want.

Think of the really, really, really wrong pornos I could make.

That's what I meant. What did you think I meant?



These are not the genitals you want.

"Life size"?  Who said anything about life size.  Get a BOE-bot (on sale for $80 or so) and wrap a 12" tall R2D2 around it.

Still could cost around $200 by the time you're done, though...

If you're not going to do life size, it's hardly worth it.

How else will you fit the midget inside the R2 unit? Without that, you can't make a proper porno.

sigh.  I heart this one.

Oh, YEAH baby!  Just don't let him get rusty, you'll never polish him clean again if you do.
