The "Bootiful" mod

Gallery

To finish the project off, I had some custom vinyl decals made by our good friends at KustomPCs who offer a custom decal making service to the public. So if you are looking for something different for your next project give them a call. Tell them bit-tech sent you.

I had two types of decal made: firstly several sizes of "Foxconn" logo and secondly a dozen or so pentagons to give a football theme to the keyboard and mouse.

So there you have it. A computer in a football! (And yes, it does 'boot' up). Thanks to the boys at Foxconn for commissioning this whacky idea and KustomPCs for the custom decals and its continued support of the modding community.

This project proved to be fun to build and deceptively challenging to make the football look inflated and keep a decent level of ventilation without spoiling the overall effect. I hope you enjoy the pics.
