#133 - ION mod idea by AeroCmdr

[AeroCmdr]

My proposal is an Apollo Lunar Module from the Apollo 11 mission to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the first men on the moon.

It would be a challenge to make it look good and have it big enough to support all of the PC components but it would be a very unique case to see.

I believe that there are enough flat surfaces for the necessary ports to be placed and possibly hidden under panels. Water cooling could be a solution if fans would not be adequate enough and the docking port on top of the lander could be used as a fill port.

If the lander's legs could not be made to support the weight of the PC then a clear support could be placed under it to help disperse the weight. If possible it might be great to have a stand underneath the case that looks like the lunar surface.

Thank you for your consideration and hopefully this can come to fruition.


This is a lander that was never used and is now on display at the National Air and Space museum.

I think you have a very good idea here, but it really needs to be fleshed out a bit. Include some specs such as the component costs and such. Remember that the board is 6.7" x 6.7", so build the total system around this.

Wow, I love this idea! Lots of freedom for adding the motherboard. You can make it however big you want. Wouldn't look too off-the-wall sitting on a desk. Could add LEDs and cable management wouldn't be a big issue.

Good idea!
