With a high bling factor, what about a Harley-Davidson Linux version? PC
comes in a black leather covered case with chrome studs, raised colourised
H-D logo, chrome mouse and Linux bandana for user. CPU is air cooled with
chrome fins (no liquid cooling here). Of course, it would have to use a US
distro like RedHat. When the GUI opens, it plays a digitised electric
starter churning, then "potato - potato" sound. It also comes with a 100th
Year Anniversary H-D screen saver. There is a matching 100th Year
Anniversary Smith & Wesson revolver for the discriminating US owner.
I'm not sure how we'd mimic the oil leaks. :-)
