I think it's a normal RC kit you can buy and he just modded it.
I saw that one yesterday over @ OCAU and it shits all over that gayline, plus I like the choice of model as it's the best looking design (IMO) that the WRX came out with.

Why would you have it black with tinted windows?
The PS is huge (kettle cord??) But I do like the way wired in with a custom bracket. Theres lots of custom brackets which are great (Norbie this isn't yours is it?)
Theres too many cords coming out the back (although I do like the way their mounted)
http://www.mini-itx.com/projects/htpc/
and
http://www.mini-itx.com/projects/htpc2/
There are heaps of other casemods on that site that are pure genius.
I was considering making one out of a Supra, but havn't bought the shell yet, so at the moment I've got my server at home in the original cardboard motherboard box. Its got 3 wires coming out of it - power, LAN and USB (ADSL modem). I'll try and take some pics tonight.

Seriously these cases would be no good for expelling heat as everything is soo dan close together so your core temps would skyrocket possibly causing your comp to crash, nice gimmick but not practical wehn you think about it

"Seriously" I think you should do more research before posting.
Read my post again. I'm running one in a CARDBOARD BOX. Its been running for about 2 weeks now (v8supra.com) and hasn't burnt down the house. Point I'm making is that they don't make much heat.
I was running a side fan on it, but it was too noisy so now I'm running with only 1 fan on the chip (no fan on the PS as the PS is a 60w board not a 400w box like in gamer PCs).
A lot of those motherboards come out WITHOUT a fan for totally silent running. Now THAT is practical!
Again - They don't produce much heat at all.
These computers aren't built for games etc. They're either servers or DVD/divX boxes. I've got one of each and neither one has ever crashed.

Well i didnt know that did I, i just assumed they were regular desktop computers, im which case they would melt the shit, ffs i know mine would, as for your cardboard box well i didnt say anything about that, i just thought that with these car/cases becuase all of the stuff was bunched together then there wouldnt be much heat expulsion. If so would you please tell me how hot the core temps actually get??

Cardboard box? Are you a hobo or something?
Next time go to the computer shop instead of the green grocers for something to put your computer into.
You might want to buy that guy in your avatar a shirt too you cheap bastard.

Says the 4cyl Camry driver to the Supra driver.
I wish I could afford a cardboard box from the green grocer. Like I said in an earlyer post its the cardboard box that the mobo came in.
Sorry mr 1GGTE I don't know what temps the cars run at, I'm yet to do it. I downloaded speedfan, and my desktop PC runs at 82 (web surfing), and my server (cardboard box) runs at 25 degrees with a CPU fan at 6600RPM (only fan).

Good chance your car cost less than mine.
But anyway, the box it came in? That's just the epitome of laziness isn't it?

Heh, I used to mod my own cases
This setup changed a fair bit. At first it was a 1800+ that didn't o/c very well.
Then I changed it to a 1.8ghz P4, chucked in some diy watercooling shit, add ice cubes and managed 2.92ghz overclock. Wasnt 100% stable, but loaded winxp all the same.
Hehe, 'Beast Inside'

Thats the server that has v8supra.com on it.
Specs are:
800mhz Pentium something
256MB memory
10Gig Hdd
60watt power suply
laptop CD drive
All in a dodgy cut out box. With just the chip fan keeping it cool.
I might look into buying a supra RC car shell and put it in that.
"Whats that"
"Oh thats v8supra.com"
