I've seen PC's used over here as MP3 players in cars over here but a PC on a motorbike, that's a cool mod. Maybe he should post his website under the title "Check out my motorbike styled PC case"

Yeah... I'm surprised the vibration doesn't ruin any value he'd get from it
Obviously on a freeway it wouldn't be a problem, but any road remotely bumpy would surely cause a problem

A lot of pc and/or mac hardware is interchangeable. Of course the guts arent' (cpu, mobo) but hard drives, opticals, RAM, etc can work on either.
