Last month, Intel hosted a PC design challenge with 26 prototype entrants from all around the world. You may have heard about it, hell you may have voted for a machine, but now, for the first time, you get to see each of the contestants sprawled out and baring it all, lovingly photographed by Erin Lubin. Go ahead, sit back and leaf through all 38 shots. It might feel wrong—but it’s perfectly natural.

With full creative license given, the variation and creativity is a bit lacking with exception to those pictured on the frontpage. I’m surprised someone didn’t empty the guts out of an iMac load it full of PC bits and pieces.
The swedish entry and the timber box mods get my votes.

Other highlights: US Slippery Skip, and Norway Asono.

Sunday, June 3, 2007 at 1:32 AMI guess you could be right… but you can’t deny the craftmanship in most of these.
How ’bout this for innovative: I know a guy who has a case mod which is actually NO case. He has all the parts lying out on his coffee table, like a dissected frog from high school… He has to bring two wires into contact with each other to boot it (like hot wiring a car… I guess…), and a separate two wires connnect to perform a reboot. He has it lying out on his coffee table, like a dissected frog from high school… hell of a cooling system!
