    I'm posting the pics of my model collection (well, just the 1:18 scales), and my computer.
    The pc is a MASSIVE, old case. Everything inside it it new, and if computers were cars, this would be an Michael's car(last year anyway).
    I simply sanded off the old baked-on paint, and spray painted the hell out of it. A good five coats of red, and three coats of every color for the logo. The display box is diamond plate, about 6 inches square, and has an acrylic shelf. The front window is acrylic, and the logo is etched with a Dremmel. The display is lit with three white leds. I love it, I can fit 4 1:43 scales, or about 6 1:64 scales in it, but I don't like to overcrowd it.
    The leds are controlled by a flip toggle switch, and the power os controlled with a rocker switch.
    The next pics are of my Wacom tablet and my keyboard.

    If you want high res pics of these, let me know. I'll get them to you no problem. If anybody else has Ferrarified their pc, let me know!

    Visit http://supercarfreak.net/gallery/Bennetts-Cars for my pics of cars around the world, and F1 cars, and all things Ferrari, and my Photoshops.

    No, no Ferrari mouse. Everything is "after market". I had to paint the keyboard. I could paint my mouse, but I use the tablet, and the mouse for it doesn't open, so I'd rather not mess up the electronics with improper shielding. Same thing with the monitor, but I'm more tempted every day...

    Not a bad idea, but I enjoy working on mine to make it great. Kinda like the difference between the guy who buys the Ferrari to make himself look sharp, but doesn't want to take care of it like the precious italian work of art it is. You don't find many of those owners here, because they don't care to talk about it because they don't know what their talking about. The ones who get an AUTOMATIC F car. For now, though, my PC is as close to onwing a Ferrari as I can reach.
