The Microwave PC

I'm still waiting for someone to build a real working Talkie Toaster™.

 

What would be incredibly cool is if you used that little timer in the top right corner of the Microwave as a temperature monitor or something similar.

 

Now that would be an awesome mod, im tempted to try it with a old toaster and a mini-itx motherboard ive got coming i was going to use as a torrent server. Though it wouldnt look like it as i would need a little bit more space than is available in that.

Does anyone have an old toaster they wouldnt mind donating for a cause? If no i would be willing to try a kettle, hmm that could be interesting and quite a challenge getting the board into one of those.

Hahaha, kettle would be great - until someone filled it up with water to brew a hottie...

 

Haha, this is pretty damn cool. As long as it doesn't interfere with 2.4Ghz Cordless phones and WiFI networks like real microwaves can

At a basic level, its simply a case of connecting the little power transformer for the front panel to the mains. Chuck the high voltage big transformer with the lethal if charged capacitor and microwave device.

 

try a picto ITX? or ATX i cant rememember but they would be perfect as they are 3.5in hdd size

 

Holy Thread Necro Batman!

 

Awsome

That is awesome mate congratulations.

 

Have you thought about sticking one of those old temperature monitors where the lil timer on the microwave would go, think the brand was Senfu back in the day

 

You do realise it was put on the main page today?

 

Well there you go!

Oh and I realised this the other day, the brand of the Microwave is called "The Genius"
You can see the model in this picture, didn't even notice!
