There really isn’t a whole lot that distinguishes a conference like Computex from a real life version of the Ben Heck forums: yesterday, we saw a PC in a vase; today, an Atom-based net-top in a Ferrari.
Pyramid-shaped PC cases are nothing new, but these handmade Vertex-cases are a little snazzier than most—and will ensure that your PC successfully completes the transition to the afterlife.
Ho-lee crap. This is one serious case mod. The incredibly precise and detailed project took one dedicated Russian modder 18 days to complete, which is an accomplishment by itself. Jaw = dropped.
Unlike the deep sleep she experienced in the movie, when Snow White bites into this Apple, she spontaneously transforms into a Gizmodo editor. [noquedanbogs via flickr - Thanks, Sabino]
Have you ever looked at a custom-built PC and been overcome with unnatural feelings of lust? Either had I, but that was before I laid eyes on the Cygnus X1, a custom made case designed and built entirely by the hands of Overclockers Australia forum member oldnewby. Now, I’m scouring the internet trying to find tips on how to seduce aluminium.
One Star Wars fan/PC modder built this R2D2 case from under $US120 in parts (spoiler: he started with a trash can).
I don’t know how well this “Sting” casemod works as an actual PC (if it works at all), but it sure does look purdy—and menacing.
When I die, I want my remains buried in this pyramid PC mod.
I’ve had some harsh words for lesser Steampunk mods, and with good reason—it’s getting tired, and most examples are massively boring. Not boring: the “Frankenstein Steampunk”, an absurdly thorough PC mod built by Dana Mattocks.
