The "PSU PC"
By Jeffrey L. Stephenson - Posted on June 25, 2003
Introduction
What do you do on a rainy day? Faced with
one recently I decided to have fun with a computer project.
What ensued was a journey where I walked that fine line between
genius and insanity. Enjoy the trip.
The "PSU PC"
This is the finished product undergoing final
testing. What do you do with an ugly beige case? Give it an
extraordinary send-off. I used it to test my latest computer
design and to give it a little dignity in the deal. Notice
the lack of CD or floppy drives. These things are not needed.
The secret revealed. A disco ball powered
computer. Using technology first dabbled with in the late
seventies I was able to harness the unbelievable power of
the disco ball. Instead of using its energy to make people
do stupid things in ugly clothes I was able to redirect its
incredible power for the better good of mankind.
The only peripheral required is a specially
designed power supply, which not only provides the electricity
but also gathers the disco ball's powerful, encrypted signals.
Close up of power supply. This computer is
operating in these pictures. No, I'm not kidding.
OK, OK. Back to mother Earth. The inspiration
for this project, besides the powerful drugs I have to take,
was this picture from my Humidor Mini-Me project. It shows
the Mini-Me next to a 300W ATX power supply. Someone asked
me if I could put a computer inside a power supply. All I
needed was a boring rainy day.
