ChaKLa Project update!

ChaKLa Project done! we did not take photos of the construction process, but harri did most of the work and we're richer by 25 dollars! yay us! The shop where we got our parts were though cookies, didn't give much discounts at all, took one hour of bargaining to maximise our profit for four dollars! seriously, that was bullshit.

Here's the nearly completed product:

here's the product upon completion

here's a nicer look at the side window, which, although we had great plans, came out like this:

So, here's an anti-scam tip for patrons to look out for when buying computer parts, so that you can learn from our mistakes (or successes).

Tip: Don't keep relying on your research
we screwed this one up big time. we decided to get everything from one shop (higher chances of getting a bargain)
and to our pleasant surprise, the graphics card that we wanted was cheaper than it used to be! we went into the shop, ordered for it, and guess what? they don't have stock. brilliant. what they have was another graphics card, that had the same properties (better brand) at "the same price" bull. it was more expensive by 11 dollars. Its just a wild guess, but we think that they were using the cheap prices to "lure" us into the shop.

So now, we unveil ChaKLa Project 2!this involves: neon lighting for the side window, and to put wireless in one of the computers in his house, so that there's two internet-able coms there.
