in theory it could work if i wired it all up etc. its runing th ebare minimals for a PC case, which is, motherboard, power supply unit, hard drive, and a cd drive.

what do ya think?

nice mate. but why a v8 lol

because i had a few nova gaskets going spare!! and my teacher suggested it. also it has to appeal to the dumb people in the world who shoudl be able to look at it and say, thats a v8, has social factors as well as psyichal ones:)

lol that is an idea, but they take a little while to produce by hand. and the fans are not cheap lol as there is 8 of them

now that is cool!

you mension expensive fans?

from a decent supplier, you can get them for 3 quid each, or around 2.50 each if you buy in bulk,

i personally would be more worried about the price of perspex, lol, i know thats not cheap,

but if you decided to mass produce, you could sell at around 200-250?

75 for parts... should be cool :)

think of the amount of nova mods once you sell 5? lol

lol, i got the fans at like 1.70 each so was like 18ish quid, and then the fan covers as well, they were about the same, so thats 40 quid on the fans and covers...

perspex i used form college, but yeh thats not cheap. and the metal i bought in a sheet of 1m by 2m and that was 15ish quid
