Raspbery Pi, e um Site bacano

A loucura do Raspbery Pi já me atacou, é um projecto fascinante, um PC que corre Linux, por 25 Euros:

About us

If you want to find out what the Raspberry Pi is, head to our FAQ page.

The idea behind a tiny and cheap computer for kids came in 2006, when Eben Upton and his colleagues at the University of Cambridge’s Computer Laboratory, including Rob Mullins, Jack Lang and Alan Mycroft, became concerned about the year-on-year decline in the numbers and skills levels of the A Level students applying to read Computer Science in each academic year. From a situation in the 1990s where most of the kids applying were coming to interview as experienced hobbyist programmers, the landscape in the 2000s was very different; a typical applicant might only have done a little web design.

E vejam só este Vídeo duma dessas placas, feito em Sketchup...
Isto dá-nos a ideia de fazer o mesmo tipo de vídeos, para tudo o que queiram ilustrar, Protótipos, ideias, etc:

Como é usual nestes casos, uma coisa leva a outra, e eis este Site bacano, com uma quantidade de Ficheiros 3D Sketchup de PCs feitos e modificados à vontade do freguês, que é como dizer, Case modding:

This site is a repository for SketchUp components (3D models) related to the design of custom-build PCs. (a.k.a. Case Modding)
There is a thriving community at the bit-tech.net forums (amongst others) which enjoys this increasingly popular hobby.

Por isso, podem usar esta ideia para toda uma data de outras Colecções de Modelos 3D, Modelismo, ou Máquinas CNC, por exemplo!
