Think I'm kidding...think again:



The rare "p" board came from an one-owner, well-kept machine that I paid for with my third kidney BUT it also included a 21-day-no-questions-asked return policy...so, yes, we've been abusing the living daylight out of this poor planar - with the X9000 installed on it - for three weeks straight and haven't gotten it to bluescreen once, let alone fail...

The NFL in its full glory:



For those unfamiliar with the car that doubles as a desktop...it's an one-off Citroen DS which was custom-built for President Charles De Gaulle by famous coachbuilder Chapron, and this particular vehicle is known as "Presidentelle"...only appropriate for a Frankie of the presidential stature...

More to follow...stay tuned...

That is a remarkable machine! What does the acronym NFL spell out?

Hope that 'third kidney' went to a good home

Thank you.

Nuclear Frankie LED = NFL

Hope that 'third kidney' went to a good home

Heh...let's say I'm not complaining...

[Tasurinchi]

These mods are a-ma-zing, they get better and better with time. I think in your case the sky's the limit

Well done guys!

[fleming164]

I have to have one of these...

I'm saving already!

[Cigarguy]

Nice work guys. That's one lovely screen. If only Lenovo would offer that as an option along with the classic keyboard, just an option, not asking for mainstream on new TPs.

Is it equipped with HPCI?

"High pressure coolant injection system (HPCI)

This system consists of a pump or pumps that have sufficient pressure to inject coolant into the reactor vessel while it is pressurized. It is designed to monitor the level of coolant in the reactor vessel and automatically inject coolant when the level drops below certain setpoints. This system is normally the first line of defense for a reactor since it can be used while the reactor vessel is still highly pressurized."

[Cigarguy]

Wonder if it comes with a handcuff and black briefcase containing the BIOS password codes?
