Well, i have been a long reader of this site and i thought its time to show this one off.

Please note that this is work in progress, its not done yet and im still working on it ;)

So, Wargames from 1983 is probably not news for anyone. I love that movie and have been wanting a WOPR for a long time.
Then i was thinking, how about making it smaller to fit my desk?
And the idea was born! Size is about 45x35x40 centimeters. About 1:50 in scale.

I´m actually putting a real computer inside this one, so its not only a replica, its a computer also for my daily use.

You guys who are professionals in building stuff, please forgive me for mistakes and things i do wrong, i do test stuff what will work or not and as you see later in the pics, i need to redo them :)
From the start, it may look a bit messy until i get all the parts and stuff together :)

And of course it will have all LED´s and LED-patterns almost 100% replicated, i spent hours and hours writing down flash-patterns to come up with a driver for it. (11 channels with independent delays in flashing, and one channel handles ~50-120 LED´s, 1400 totally)

If someone dont know what the WOPR is.
War Operation Plan Response




And here goes a picture-bomb, i´ll put in some describing text later :)
