The only thing I would add is that there be a drian hole someplace.
Otherwise the liquid would just collect and cause mildew. There were some
waterproofing ideas posted that sounded fine.

Not mine either...I just do it for fun, not profit$. But it's nice to
wrench on a car instead of mind-wrenching a computer...

Not alot of smog stuff anyway, as I understand it, but do save to stuff you
pull off. Never know when the agents of doom and despare will come to make
you smog your Brick.

Have them sent to you personally, not on the list. And while we're on the
subject...
Anyone that wants to send me some brick-pics can send them to
cybertec@DSLink.net and I'll start putting together a web-page or 10. My
DSL line and Linux server need something to do. :)
