That is awesome!

I wonder what speed the processor is, and how much RAM? I mean, I know it's about the looks, but if it isn't really worth working on, then not really worth all the trouble for me I guess.

It has a 1GHz CPU w/512MB RAM and a 40GB hard drive.

It will cruise the Internet, process e-mail and check spelling all day long.

What more do you need?

I have a dedicated gaming rig for that sort of stuff. I prefer a quiet, cheap-to-operate system for everyday things.

Some more of my stuff

Sounds good I was just wondering on the specs.

I agree, for everday internet browsing, that should be good to go.

That would be me. You are obviously a man of great taste.

Which Humidor PC do you like best? I have built seven different ones.

Thanks. That is the Humidor CL Server. I built it 2 1/2 years ago. It appeared in Popular Science magazine and on the CBS News program "Up To The Minute". Its main feature is a built-in Linksys wireless router and a DSL modem all powered from a single power supply. Notice the antenna sticking up from behind.

More here if you are interested.

I don't sell my stuff. I don't try to. It's not why I do it. My standard answer to the question "How much?" is $5,000. That usually puts an end to that conversation.

Just build one yourself.


I got a question about slipperyskip's sponsers. Do they offer any monetary compensation? I've built a few similar projects, and would love to do much more, but the parts expenses generally limit me. You can see a description of one of my projects by clicking my computer specs icon. I'd love to add a solar panel to it, yet the $200+ cost of the panel, yada, yada, yada...

If you're making any money from your projects, how did you get started?

My "sponsors" are just an informal relationship I have with a company's PR people. Usually it is just a fan who wants to participate in what I do.

When that person leaves the company or gets promoted I usually lose my sponsorship. Some PR people just don't get it.

I get equipment and sometimes I get travel expenses reimbursed but no dollar payments. In fact, I have about $7,000 in debt to show for my hobby costs.

BTW, I ask for $5,000 because if someone is really interested they will make me a counter offer. It weeds out the people who aren't really serious.

Great work, great site. I am curious more about your workbench and tools than the final product, wonderful works of art that they are, and would pay good money if you were to have a book on the details of how you get these items from the idea stage to the finished product.
