Exploded computer 6

Current FP; base of above.

webcam?

This began as an effort to display various computer peripherals and ended up as the mother of all computer diagrams. I used a current FP (which would be delisted in favor of this one) as a base, and expanded it greatly. However, since I am not the original author, the perspective is only approximately whatever the original creator used, and is "cluttered," removing focus from the main monitor/CPU area. Also, while the numbers are more international English labels may be more appropriate here. Any ideas?--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 21:53, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think the whole picture is extremely helpful. I'm not so sure about the English labels, because you have a pretty good description, in multiple languages, no less. It's also very good-looking; the colors are easy to look at. I would go for it, but wait for some other opinions. Elephantissimo (talk) 02:31, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you. The international documentation was already present for the parts included in the current FP, but adding it for the new items is tedious. Is there a place on the Commons where I can ask for help localizing? Also: does it need a webcam?--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 01:23, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - How about speakers? Thegreenj 01:37, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - I think if you have an iPod, a webcam would be a good addition.
Would there be any copyright issues with the depiction of the iPod? Guest9999 (talk) 20:59, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- No, considering I got it from a free-to-use image. (The link is on the image page.) Does it need to be black or grey so it's more neutral? No other item here is associated with a specific company, but the iPod is so generic... (Also: speakers are on the way!)--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 21:14, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Although I'm normally big on the "iPod is an mp3 player but not all mp3 players are iPods" I' have to agree that the iPod is the best way of characterising an mp3 player. Webcam would be nice but I could only find this (png) on Commons and this (svg) on OpenClipArt. Although the first is probably more typical of a webcam the second has the benifit of already being svg. /Lokal_Profil 23:06, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - I'm going for a unified, generic, stylized look of the hardware. (That's why I'm worried about the distinctly non-generic iPod and its color.) I'd (more likely: I'll) have to create the webcam from what already exists in the image, much like how I created everything else new. Speaking of which, how are the speakers? They're based off of this image.--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 03:05, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - I tried a webcam and it looked flat. (It's built out of curves, which is harder than the semi-axonometric boxes.) So unless you want me to put the lens inside the monitor, I don't think a webcam is happening. It should be good enough already.--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 11:44, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        The speakers are nice. Possibly the image on the side could be usd as a webcam but otherwise just skip it. ANyhow the image turned out very nice. /Lokal _Profil 20:17, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seconder: I'll nominate this myself, then...--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 19:57, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I personally would run this as a "delist and replace" nom for the current FP. However, if the consensus is that it has changed significantly, it can go through the normal procedure.--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 03:05, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
