Art from electronics

Website · Post by **Life of Brian** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 1:28 pm

This is a picture my younger bro made a year or two ago. The original image is almost poster size. Extra nerd points for anyone who guesses correctly what video game system this disc drive is from on the first try.

Sometimes circuit boards and electronics can get so complex that when viewed closely it almost becomes a type of abstract art. Does anyone else enjoy this sub-sub-genre of art or have a picture that is video game/electronics related that they really like? I need to go find some more examples of what I'm talking about.

Wow, thats pretty cool. Is there a computer wallpaper size picture of that? Cause I like to have that as my wallpaper.

Also, Being that i have been inside a PSX more that once. (PSX came before the PSOne.) And have removed their drives before. I'm going to say that thats a PSX disk drive.

I knew it was a PS1 drive based on the power connector.

Just copy and paste it into a graphics program, change the resolution to your screen, done.

Portables are art ...

That they are! In fact, Most electronics are. Anyone have a piece of art like that of a mobo? that could be cool!

Whenever I design electronics I always think of the PCB and even the schematic as art. It's kind of hard to explain, but most of you will know what I'm getting at.
