  Filed under: Desktops We've seen a lot of ways to use computers as musical instruments, but the L-series case from Spotswood Custom Computer takes that concept to dizzying new heights by mounting components inside a 22-inch circular shell that's a dead ringer for a snare drum. The company says the built-from-scratch case design eliminates hot

• PCs: Optimus Prime Case Mod Almost Seven Feet Tall, Eats Mac Minis

  in this Optimus Prime casemod into the Extreme Tech casemod contest, and well, it's probably the best Transformers-based casemod we've seen yet. It's six feet ten inches tall, transforms into a smaller desktop mode, has a 7-inch LCD on its body, two windows on its chest (like the actual Optimus prime), Autobots symbols, and even has

  Filed under: Desktops It's one thing to create a Transformers-themed machine that doesn't actually, you know, transform, but to assemble a fully customized Optimus Prime PC case that morphs from a menacing computer into a full-fledged robotic destroyer deserves extra kudos. Pennsylvania's own John Mangus spent some 300-hours over the course of a

  Filed under: Desktops, Transportation For those of you still enamored by the Optimus Prime PC case mod, here's yet another transformation to keep you in awe. A self-proclaimed Batman fanatic happened upon an RC iteration of the Tumbler Batmobile, and as any true nerd would do, he wondered if a PC could be stuffed within. Sure enough, with a

• Xbox 360 modded to look more like... an Xbox 360?

  Published: August 19, 2007, 11:02 am

  Tags: Case Mod, Casemod, Microsoft, Mod, Xbox 360, Xbox360

  Filed under: Gaming Yeah, we too are a bit miffed at why you'd want your Xbox 360 to look more like, well, itself, but a modder over at Xbox-Scene apparently felt that Microsoft simply stopped short of the goal. The customized machine sports an Xbox 360-themed grill insert, a host of internal green LEDs, an Xbox 360 controller emblem, and an

• DialUp PC case mod with old-school rotary phone for VoIP

  Published: September 16, 2007, 4:35 pm

  Tags: Case Mod, Casemod, Dialup, Hack, Mod, Old, Phone, Retro

  Filed under: Desktops PC case modders will tear up anything in search of a bit of novelty, especially if it happens to reek of old school. Ancient telephones -- we hear they were called rotary phones, or something -- happen to fulfill the old school criteria, with one modder surrounding his PC in cracked wood, and hooking it up to an old phone.

• Gaming: Halo 3 Xbox 360 Mod

  Published: September 24, 2007, 1:30 pm

  Tags: Case, Casemod, Gaming, Halo, Halo 3, Microsoft, Mods, Xbox, Xbox 360

  This Halo 3 console mod wasn't created by our buddy Ramon of Wii, PSP and DS fame, but still looks pretty damn fantastic. As you can see, creator Craget from the UK added blue neon trim, Halo Collector's edition stylings, two posable Spartans on either side, and what seems to be splooge on top of the fake moss. It'll soon be on eBay so you can

  Filed under: Desktops For common Hulk collectors, performing "plastic surgery" on one of your favorite figurines may not sound reasonable, but then again, not too many of 'em have tried to make a 13-inch poseable monster lug around a PC. Enter the Hulk PC mod, which ranks up there pretty high among the most astounding rigs we've ever seen. The

  Filed under: Desktops We're not quite sure what type of individual would actually enjoy having that thing pictured above sitting prominently in any room of their domicile, but for those too lazy to come up with their own case mod, this pre-fabricated alternative ain't half bad. The M4125 Maid PC would admittedly be much more of a woman if she

• 66-fan case mod exemplifies overkill

  Filed under: Desktops We've seen some pretty questionable case mods involving additional fans, but this one will likely hold top honors until something even more extravagant comes around. The "Super Cooler" straps a grand total of 66 fans around the tower, which probably doesn't do a whole lot of good when all's said and done. Truth be told,

• Media center meets piano, results are questionable

  Published: November 26, 2007, 3:24 am

  Filed under: Home Entertainment, Household, Media PCs We've all ideas the creator of the Compiano thinks that it's pretty hot stuff, but we're not sure the end result is what we'd deem elegant. Nevertheless, it's hard to argue with the utility here -- after all, it's not everyday that you can sit at one bench and play a few measures of Chopin

  Filed under: Desktops, Gaming Yeah, the NES PC is old hat, but if you just can't find the time to create one for yourself, why not pay some diligent soul for their hard work rather than living another month without one? Available via eBay, this finely crafted piece of art won't crank through any of the latest PC titles, but it comes with plenty

  Filed under: Desktops Calling that thing pictured above a "case mod" is a near travesty, but we're at a loss for words outside of that. This box is almost devoid of specifications entirely, but judging by the artwork on the "chassis," it's powered by a totally rare Intel Pentium 3 CPU, hums along on Ubuntu and features a curiously placed fan,
