It seems lately everyone has been talking about mobile PCs (IE like that one dude who wants to build one on treads). I'm wondering, since computer parts have progressed to a point where they are small enough for this to be possible, has anyone put a PC in a model RC AIRPLANE? :eek: Lord knows there are some biggie RC planes capable of carrying (small) cargo, and if this is capable I would like the idea of my comp flying 50 feet above my head :D
 
Nah I wouldnt cry. I'd use dirt cheap components that were kinda old (Not like i wanna run WinXP w/ all the goodies and periphal goombas on a bitchin' 64 bit proc) I'd reinforce the fuselage to withstand crashes and I'd fly it low-and-slow so if it did crash it wouldnt be damaged too much. :rolleyes:
 
Computers have been put on RC planes, But no PCs that I know of. Mostly the computers were used for datalogging.

More like $4K. RC planes can be expensive too!

ProjectTwin had an awesome RC Avalanche he gutted and was working on putting a PC in that would run off of batteries. It was a very popular thread at the time. His last update was almost a year ago though so I guess it will never be completed.
 
What i thought i'd do for a monitor was set up some sort of wireless solution, but I dont know where to start. I was thinking wireless camera but that doesnt make sense. :confused: If anybody got suggestions for how to continue this I'd like to hear them.
 
What are you going to do with the PC? Will you need a monitor? If you need a monitor the best thing might be a motherboard with a TV out and then just hook the TV out to a video transmitter.
 
*SHRUGS* I dunno i just thought it was a novel idea that could work. You could fly it to the LAN party i guess LOL :p
