Good catch. Fixed!>> ^hpqp:

Love the look of that diddly-bow, very DIY.
Also, @Fusionaut, I believe there is in fact only one gentleman playing, although the mistake is understandable.

OMG YES! I have to make one so I can turn it on in the bedroom in the middle of the night while my girlfriend is sleeping, then scream loudly and run out of the room!

And then she dumps you!


Totally worth it.

Yeah, this is about the sickest shit I have seen this year in the realm of projection DIY. Brilliant and bizarre. This simple project will wreak more terror into passing motorists with certain phobias....OMG, talk about yer damaged psyches for miles!!!

If I must submit to DIY to get this sifted I'm willing to do it *promote

Yeah 'DIY'
If you can weld
And can smoothly cut holes in metal
And have a surplus 1500rpm motor lying around
And a hydraulic plug and cap that you have centre drilled, and tapped of course
And you have a bench drill
Oh, and a butane torch
Basically... if you have a complete toolshop and good mechanical skills and spend $45 then sure, you could build this... (And hope that your welding etc. remains intact at 1500rpm) or you could just spend $45 and buy one.
except your plastic chinese-made thing will fall apart after 3 uses, while that contraption will still be making cotton candy for a post-nuclear apocalypse society.

Sometimes I look at a video like this and think, would still I be outraged if I hadn't been prepped for outrage by the title and description? I don't know. I like to think so. I've loved books since grade school. But would it have occurred to me to treat every copy as if it was sacred? Or would I have just thought, "What a waste of time" like I think of most DIY projects?

Oh please - stop it with the DIY PC vs. Mac Pro comparisons, they are just ridiculous.
A HP Z8x0 or a Dell Precision for example

Well... I can't really compare it to, say, the Dell machines we get at work - and for just the kind of reasons you mention. My company pays a premium to Dell (though not as much as we'd pay for Apple) because Dell will drop-ship us a replacement at our whim and gives us reasonable corporate support.
With an Apple you're pretty much just getting the box at that price as far as I've ever figured (we do have some Macs here at work). And if you just want a box, I think it's fair to compare out the price of pats. That's why I compared it like I did.

Did you even read the rest of my post? No onsite support with replacement options is a HUGE drawback of the Mac Pro, but you won't get a Dell or HP workstation much cheaper even without those support options.
