Awesome case Mods
World’s Most Awesome/Crazy DIY PC Case Mods!
PC modders have been very creative and a bit *crazy* ever since birth of desktop computers back in the 80s. Here’s a collection of world’s most “awesome” PC case mods you won’t want to miss.
1. We will start with a rather modest PC Case mod, completely made out of wood. This could accent your home’s wooden furniture well plus you can even make something more stylish such as seen below:
(The Wooden PC Case mod from a modder in South Korea.)
2. The Microwave PC Mod is actually rather cool with the door of the microwave converted into LCD display while microwave controls function as PC power buttons and whatnot. This could be the perfect computer for your stylish, modern kitchen, all the while disguising the fact there’s actually a computer underneath. Of course, it would be super cool if you can actually use the microwave too. I bet there’s a way to do that, anyone up for the challenge?
3. Next up is the Passively-cooled PC Mod, basically a PC case surrounded with cooling fans all-over. I find this would be great way to build your next overclocking project PC where you need to cool the CPU down drastically. There’s other methods of cooling too but this one certainly brings style out there while keepin’ it all cool.
4. The Suitcase PC Case mod is probably one of the easiest to carry as it’s embedded in a hard-cover case with a sturdy handle. If I am traveling a lot and I need the power of Intel Core i7s for rendering 1080P HD videos, I will certainly build myself one of these. Even if I am not, this could be the ultimate gamer’s travel PC case when laptops just can’t cut it.
5. What if you could fit a whole PC in your favorite bottle of alcohol? Check out this Whiskey PC which does exactly that in a bottle of Ballantines.
6. Next up is the Toilet PC Case mod featuring a PC fitted inside a real toilet. Of course, it’s too bad you can’t actually use the toilet itself to poop anymore but this could be a great mod for those of you who poop a lot.
7. The WMD (Weapon of Mass Destruction) PC case mod is probably not a good thing to carry around in public as it might actually be regarded as exactly that but it certainly is one of the most creative PC case mods we have seen.
8. The Wind Turbine PC case mod reminds me of another powerful weapon of some sort with its crazy glowing LEDs. It’s supposed to be a “cycber pumpkin” and it certainly does look like one.
9. The Batmobile Tumbler PC case mod is certainly a must-do for any die-hard Batman fans like myself. Now, if the PC could power itself with a battery and the wheels were operational, that’d be somethin’.
10. The Lego PC case mod featured here is a must-see as it’s super-clean, could be a great resource of insight and inspiration to lego lovers/addicts out there.
11. The Pyramid PC case mod is lovely, with see-through surfaces so you can always tell if your hardware is working right. Plus, this pyramid PC case mod will certainly brighten up your desk and room, just don’t start a pyramid-scam by selling these.
12. The Wii PC case mod is one of my favorites and could go well as your entertainment/media PC near your TV. Of course, don’t forget ASUS actually sells something similar called EeeBoxes so….
