Super-resistant PC in a black box case

I hope you’re not surprised by seeing a red box instead of a black box. If you haven’t watch National Geographic Channel’s Air Crash Investigation this might be something new for you.

What matters is what’s inside. Brett, the aficionado who modified this real black box into a computer was exposed to asbestos, which can cause mesothelioma and asbestosis. So don’t try this unless you’re close to a hospital.

As the case is quite small, a fully fledged server wasn’t possible to fit. A Mini-ITX motherboard was installed, with a 800MHz Via C3 CPU, with Slackware Linux running on it.
