Some seasonal convergence:The Pumpkin PC

Here's something to inspire while you're all busy with that snazzy gadget Halloween costume of yours: the Pumpkin PC. It's using the guts of a Dell Latitude D410 and runs a 1.6 GHz Intel Centrino processor, which might not be warm enough for getting those pumpkin seeds all toasty brown the way we likes them, but we'll have to wait for a full review to find out for sure. This little project by some guys attending the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville has helped us realize the vast untapped potential of vegetable-based case mods, which seem to be perfect for that produce themed home theater we've been thinking about throwing together.

Might smell a bit - however maybe we're missing something by not utilising the excess heat generated by computers, anyone got a marshmallow toaster to fit a cpu heatsink?

Pumpkins aren't vegetables. Calling them so is an insult to every hard working fruit out there.

Great for the kids to play VeggieTale games on.

I should have figured it would be someone from my school.

This inspires me to continue my life's work of fitting a computer into a pea.

bahahah..that pumpkin is going to get rotten awfully fast. Heat and pumpkins with holes in it don't exactly mix well. Sounds like a mold factory to me.

Your comments: is it an ACTUAL pumpkin????
i thought it was a pumpkin case...i can't even say it's cute as all i'm thinking about is mold and that inevitable....

Don't you mean "that produce based home theatre system we've been thinking about growing together."

Hehe.
