Where could i get some pics of them?

Re: I-opener mods
 

Depends on what you want to do with them. Most mods are cake but if you send some pics I'll recommend some stuff and give you advice if you'd like

There's actually a post about it here.  From what I understand, the modding doesn't really lie in changing the appearance of the case (I suppose it could), but in making the hardware compatable for an IDE hard drive, and whatnot.  The process involves flashing the BIOS and maybe some custom cables or something.  I found some basic info searching Google for badflash i-opener.

Re: I-opener mods
 

why do you care? ???

Re: I-opener mods
 

I'm going to have to assume the I-Opener was one of those internet appliances that never really cought on.  What was the original retail value?  Seeing as how it had an LCD, it couldn't have been too cheap, unless some ISP did a deal where they'd give you it free, or discounted, if you sign up for a contract with them...

this was supposed to be popular stuff? ya right:P I mean its cool but u can't do shit with it.(almost)

Re: I-opener mods
 

The thing is they were like $100 or $200 at best buy when you signed up for an ISP service contract that you could easily get out of. of course they sold like hot cakes once it was found you could mod them and install Linux or Windows. The power came from the fact that you could put them where a normal PC wouldn't work (like the kitchen). If you had a home lan, everything was saved on the network. and if you had DSL or Cable, Internet was a breeze. In later models, they tried to make them hack prof which just made it all the more a frenzy to hack them and thus void the Warrenty! :-)

Re: I-opener mods
 

ur right but why would you want a comp in the kitchen

Re: I-opener mods
 

i want computers anywhere, but i want them to be tough and welldesigned, so if i had a comp in tha kitchen, id mod it, that it has a good place, is looking like a real comp, not like a breadbox with  lcd and give him a watercoolin´right outta tha freezah ;D

Re: I-opener mods
 

I think i am going to put my i-opener in the bathroom.  I have always wanted to surf the web while I was well...you know.

If that doesn't work out i am going to put it on my coffee table in my living room.
