How much cash have you guys put into your rigs?

I'm curious as to who has put in to most dough.....

Or who has made the sweetest mods for 100, 200, 300, etc caps.

So far I've but in a whopping 168 bucks into mine, but it adds up fast (pix posted once write up is complete)!

How about you guys? How much are we spending to turn our pooters into street queens?

It would be hard to calculate. My rocket mod is not done and will not be for a while. I have put $200 into it so far.

i put $1.99 in mine for the blue LED in my mouse. The window i cut myself with cut off wheels that i stole from my little brother, and i got a piece of plexi for free from Lowes. the rest of the stuff i havent finished yet, so it will wind up costing more to paint it, put in the lights, etc. but that's all ive spent so far.

I don't keep track. If I need more money I just go pick it off the tree.

Wht the heck does "The window i cut myself with cut off wheels" mean?

He used a rotary tool to cut a plexyglass clear window for is case. He stole the Cutoff wheels (basically a blade for the rotary tool) from his brother. Saveing him thousands (of pennies) possibly.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Thank you for the much needed clarification!

yes ... actually, a pack of like 3 of those wheels is $5, so i actually saved about $15.

You went through 9 friggin wheels? I wanna see this mod.

he has the mouse mod, which is in this forum (unless the mods didnt move it when the OC and MOD seperated)

it was just a little window in a mouse with a blue LED light in it

Those cutoff wheels rarely last very long. They are designed to cut small pieces of metal like nails and such. I coould see going through a few for a window of 1/4" plexy.

i dont have my webcam or my digital camera handy, so i just found a picture of the design i cut into my case ... im thinking about abandoning the case tho cuz i really dont like it.

Let me guess.... wireless keyboard and mouse?

Yeah - and a really long extension cord

That just gave me an idea.... a computer on a kite.

I was thinking about this while riding my bike a minute ago. I would really like a remote desktop / vnc type of app that worked from my palm/cell phone. Now that is what I need....
