ugliest thing ever created.

i have a new name "Fugly Crap"

prouted

I love the subtlety.

It must be the intricate care taken to balance the use of color and lighting. The smooth, rich blend of complimentary materials and how they work together to unify the design so that a calming, enjoyable, focused work and game experience is the natural outcome.

The careful balance of Feng Shui with Steampunk and 80's club techno is brilliant.

In fact, I can think of no better way to demonstrate the idea that mixing several brilliant concepts does not always produce a good result. His irony in making that statement through the time spent on this is awe inspiring.

AndrewJayPollack

its cyberpunk, not a new style

speakerwizard

This looks like someone who has been living inside a game arcade for his entire life has just set out to build computer cases out of duplo.
Well, maybe not duplo, but crappy plastic anyway. (NOT Lego)

Arcadepunk. This reminds me of a mixture of arcade games from the Jersey Shore and pipes from Super Mario Bros.

Git Em SteveDave displays attention-grabbing vanity

I like dreampunk...bright colors, Rube Goldberg-esque; makers, ravers, and stoners all mashed up with the Super Mario Brothers and Lisa Frank. A new meme - make it so!

toastandlove

dunno what to call it but its badass.

reminds me of the stuff that came out of MEMPHIS in the 80s (the guys in Milan... not Alabama)

you know... these guys: [www.designmuseum.org]

LedburyLongshot

It doesn't need a new name because it's just ugly.

@siville:
Have you ever talked to a plumber about plumbing? They all consider themselves to be artists.

Erlend

OMG, that is just wrong.

SewerShark

Plasti-Punk or Acryli-Punk

This dude knows his plastic, those seams and welds look perfect. It is truley a craftsman who put this together.

It is definately not my style and I think it looks more like a 50's jukebox but the hours he had to spend on it are really impressive. A cross between an artist and a plumber. Interesting mix.

siville

It's definitely some careful work.
The copper tubing is well done.

The styling isn't for me, but you can tell great care was taken with this.

Good luck with the blue balls though.

I've been married for 18 years...I know the deal.

strider_mt2k

Now that its finished its obsolete. A single core P4 and from the looks of it upgrading and changing parts won't be easy. However; that being said, it looks pretty cool and should make quite an interesting conversation piece.

robpruitt

It truly is ugly, I'll give them that.
I'm sure a lot of work and planning went into this, but where do you put something like that? I suppose it could suit someone who's eternally lost in the 90's, still listening to old Moby, Marusha, WestBam and Sven Väth. The lighting alone would probably be enough to drive me insane, and all that plastic can't be good for heat insulation (even considering the liquid cooling).
The mouse also looks mighty uncomfortable.

Hvedhrungr

Flouresipunk...
no?
...guess not

K-SO

P4 really? WTF...

bobojuice

Ass-punk

Benjaminx

Neoelectric-circus sex-decopunk.

Miranda Kali (Desperate But Not Serious)

its OK certainly not my aesthetic, a bit garish, just a bunch of neon Plexiglas glued and screwed all over the place.

TerryinSt.Paul

What-the-punk?

BigDogues

Steam-junk.

broho

It's got it's own style, but I ain't believing the whole hand crafted bit on the plastics. Looks CNC to me then from the looks of it torch glossed the edges. The plumbing looks cool but that's scary as hell having all that copper to accidentally touch any give spot on the MoBo. But I do give him credit for the over all design...regardless of how it's made.

keltic

how about worse homemade case ever punk.
Seriously a choebox would have been more attractive.

jeepingeek

Umm Wurlitzerpunk springs to mind...

teddlesruss

The builder obviously put a lot of work and effort into this PC.
Personally not my style, but I can still admire the end result.

Numerous

Rainbow-Warrior-Punk Sounds Good

i cant tell if he used copper or PVC that he painted??

I would imagine copper would oxidize and leave green crap all inside the pipes, idk how that would affect everything else??

SlimDan22

"Daft-Punk"

(cuz ya gotta be pretty DAFT to like it)

akratos

This is a perfect example of, "Just because you spent a lot of time on it doesn't mean it's good."

DisposableInterloper

Carnie-Punk / Retro-Psycho-Punk

akratos

It looks raver-esque and ugly, but not punk. If I spent all my time in dark rooms on drugs, I might think it was cool, but now I have a job. If it makes E though, count me in.

s8ist

I just want to know what kind of overclock he was able to get out of that badboy.

AllThingsWireless

Wait what?

It's got the Jetson's-esque rings and curves...

I thought we called that RetroFuturism.

Alchemistmerlin

Okay, it looks like an art-deco Habitrail to me. Sorry, it just looks like a hamster lives in it.

maven2k

It's a FugBox..

Jrsy

It looks like what someone in the 80s thought a mall would look like in the future.

I declare retro-future-mall-punk!

DorkRawk

Sweet, I need a new hamster cage! Oh, wait... This is a computer case?

@pir8matt: Nod to you for the first hamster related post, albeit very subtle.

bpapa9013

steampunk is brilliant o.o

shanzi

Habitrailpunk maybe?

pir8matt

Looks like Flash-Gordonpunk to me.

pir8matt

It's 80's New Wave Punk. Remember when neon acrylic was the big thing? That year. 1986.

DeanOfAllTrades

@SewerShark: Yea, but look where that got him. :p

Oh, and my genre name:

ScreamPunk. Offensively loud colors.

WildWon

@Alchemistmerlin: I enjoy Retro-Futurism, personally.

I think the embodiment of the retro-future was the Neutrinos from the old Ninja Turtles cartoon, with their hot pink hover-caddy. This certainly wouldn't look out of place alongside that.

PipeRifle

CyberPunk....
as in the bleak future 80s crap in-visioning the future...
See Snatcher (for the segaCD/megaCD/MSX)
oh and the movie Blade Runner...

segamanxero

I'd say that this could've been one of the systems used in the making of the Wachowski's shitty Speed Racer, but with a P4....um, nah.

Wow, how many Gerbils can live in that comfortably? I dont see a wheel for them to run on...

Why am I writing this?

Shoghon

wow, that's fugly

vgart

When did hideous become the new cool?

Rabid Penguin

Glopunk has about the right sound and feel. Not that it feels good, just appropriate.

Krowyn

Man that is fugly.

Thanatos

I respect the work it took to build that rig but it's ass ugly.

Metropolis

I'd like it if better colors were chosen. Good concept and structure, horrible color choices though.

D0rk

i've been following his build. it's undoubtedly a very well-made, with lots of quality handcrafting involved.

i just don't like the colours and overall aesthetics. they clash far too much. it's like... a hot pink and olive green bugatti veyron.

willyolio

I agree on this being cyberpunk, but if we absolutely "need" a new name for it... I'll go with TRON-punk, which could be made into... Tronk :?

I like it somehow, usually I hate all acrylic cases, too much see through doesn't keep things exciting at all. I like to guess at what's underneath ;)

zyberteq

How about funk-punk?

sam_i_am

@willyolio: "hot pink and olive green bugatti veyron"

I just threw up a little in my own mouth. Again.

Bueller

Craptastic!

smegz

In the main shot it looks like it's just about to bend time and space and "jump" out to the back yard. Why don't you just call it "The ReTardis"?

silvarga

@k2001: That was the first thing I thought too.

SFLegend

I meant neon. -1 gold star for typo ;-)

Triplet66

Fuglypunk. FAIL. the early 80's were bad enough with all the day-glo and non....please let that style R.I.P.

Triplet66

The Jetsons is a horrible place to take ideas for design from :D

DaSmith

i would call it - post steampunk neo-80s plastic-core.

(this one goes out to all the music elitists who make up new genres for old bands)

undeadmachine

I'm going with Plexipunk. Or glasspunk. You say Poe-tay-toe, I say Poe-tah-toe...

DSLPWR

I like the Tubes for the wiring but the color scheme.... Looks like the '80s puked all over it... I need a pair of Top Gun aviator sun glasses just to look at it and not go blind.

Mr.SithNinja

Please leave the "punk" part out, people. That's just lame.

middy

Inspired by several joints and a night of cosmic bowling.
It is fascinating to look at...just before you begin your seizure.

FiveLiters

"Bloo Balls Custom PC Case Mod is a Whole New Kind of Punk"

I guess. If "new" is intended to mean that you wear Bermuda shorts and listen to Flock of Seagulls.

ldsdj

It reminds me of those little water games that u drop the coins in, ya know, the things that they have at Denny's

tictacular

Punk. Punk! Punk? Just because one thing was punk, doesn't mean the next is. all things 'Steampunk' are obviously inspired by the same origin, the use of the Victorian-era as a setting for sci-fi stories. The term also makes direct reference to 'Cyberpunk', a name for people on the margins of society, who's lives are infused with technology. This case mod is not referencing the marginalized, gritty punk aesthetic. It has clean lines, smooth curves and bright colours. Where Steampunk is related to the Art Nouveau, this mod is related to Art Deco. An artistic movement popularized in 1930, just Wikipedia it, a very beautiful time period. All in all, I am suggesting the term 'Cyberdeco' for this challenge of naming the next cool thing! Shawn McL
