Master Control Puppet 9000

a.k.a. MetaCorpse, the ultimate hardware pr0n project

This epoque multimedia server is a reference to - above all - Ghost In The Shell; as well as Matrix, Chobits, Space Odyssey, Tron and Repo.

The 9000 series is the most reliable computer ever made. No 9000 computer has ever made a mistake or distorted information. We are all, by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error.

What you'll need:

Case, modded:

• a mannequin
• peruque of some sort
• tools (as in: drills, saws & files)

Inner life:

(after your fancy)

• Micro ATX motherboard (ASRock G43Twins-FullHD LGA 775 Intel G43) - too wide!

• 4GB RAM (Mushkin DIMM Kit Redline XP2-6400 2 x 2GB PC2-6400U CL4-4-3-10 (DDR2-800MHz) Dual Channel)
• power supply unit
• HDD (Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 SATA 3Gb/s 1-TB)
• DVD drive
• cooling unit (fan)
