We’re not too sure that Lego Gandhi would approve of the use of Lego’s as a case mod for a PC, but what does he know? The guy is made of friggen Lego pieces. Whatever he might think, we certainly think the Lego PC case mod is one for the Gearfuse book of sick mods.

The Lego enclosure holds in a VIA Epia PD Mobo 1Ghz, Nvidia 6200 PCI Graphics, Laptop 80 Gig 7200Rpm Hdd, Laptop DVD, 1 GB Geil DDR memory, 200 watt PS, so it packs in some decent hardware. Hopefully the pieces don’t crumble like every Lego masterpiece I ever built. (more…)

We’ve seen our share of awesome Wii-themed mods, including the Bloodstained Manhunt 2 Wii Case Mod, and even a mod for the Wii’s peripherals, like the Power Glove Wiimote mod. This case mod was commissioned for Kevin Smith himself, based around the ultra-geeky cult following of the movie Clerks.

Featuring figurines of the four main characters of the movie on one side, and a View Askew (Kevin Smith’s production company) logo on the other, with the Wiimote and Nunchuck branding the words “Silent Bob” and “Kevin Smith”, the Clerks case mod is a cool fanatic made design. In my opinion, the case mod seems to be designed to resemble the short-running animated series that was made for Clerks. (more…)

UbuntuBox: Worst Case Mod Ever, Hands Down

Filed under: Desktops, Hacks

At first glance, this “case mod”, if you can call it that, looked like the box I carried my belongings off to college with. Look a little deeper and you see that this box is actually a working computer.

The UbuntuBox has got to be the ugliest damn case mod of all time. Isn’t there some sort of reward for this? The creator of this horrendous masterpiece says that the computer houses the parts from an old Pentium 3 tower, running Linux Ubuntu. (more…)

Amazing Turntable Desktop PC Mod

Filed under: Desktops, Hacks

Just insane. That is a perfect description of this gorgeous PC case mod. This project totally integrates a working PC into a turntable. The LCD screen displays the current time, song playing, or weather. The volume knob now controls the system volume and the power button still retains its functionality.

The hardware used in this mod is pretty impressive too. Inside the record player resides a AthlonXP 2500+, Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe, 2x 250GB Hard drives, 1GB RAM, DVD Burner, Hauppauge Dual TV Tuner with hardware encoding, BenQ 15″ LCD, and Zalman cooling. I would have pumped up the RAM a bit. You must look at more pics after the jump. It’s madatory. :-) (more…)

Yuugou Case Mod fuses wood craftsmanship with technology

Filed under: Design, Desktops, Hacks

This Japanese-inspired Yuugou PC case mod was made with a simple message. To represent the beauty of wood frame casing, while fusing traditional craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology. This simple concept evolved into a simple, yet beautifully elegant case mod for a classy reflection of personal style.

The designer of Yuugou reflects on the production of the case, describing it as an influence of its own work. Something that was made as a concept and then built on top of each new idea that arose, “…from the inner / outer frame concept inspired by Sangaku, to the side panel design, inspired from my Japanese lamp”.

The Computer Table for space conservation is the ultimate case mod

We thought the idea to latch all unneeded gear to the bottom of your desk was an ultimate space saver, and this Computer Table puts the cherry on the sundae. Who needs a tower when they have a desk? The Computer Table fits all of your hardware into a desk drawer, so no cases needed. You can actually call this a very elaborate case mod. And made for only a fraction of the cost of The Milk table.

Along with fitting the CPU in a desk nook, the Computer Table also features a blue neon light for nighttime viewing and a pretty decent design touch as well. The back of the desk frame has a added heat vent and air fan slots to ensure possible cooling and breathing for your hardware. You can plainly see that this computer desk proves that you don’t need to sacrifice design for efficiency.

Halo 3 Xbox 360 case mod on eBay

Filed under: Design, Gaming, Hacks

halo_case_mod

We don’t know if it’s our type of thing, but some of you are sure to love this Halo 3 Xbox 360 case mod available on eBay. The case sports a custom paint job which looks very impressive, and would be an awesome collection piece for Halo fans. Jeremiah Thiring, known for his mod work on PC cases, designed the Halo case being sold as a “Buy It Now” item on eBay.

We think the reason we don’t particularly like this mod is because of the weird stucco look the case displays. Such a sleek system doesn’t look any better with stucco paint added. But, we guess it works to aide the Halo theme. Available for $925. — Andrew Dobrow

Here’s a cool PC case mod. MetkuMods explains how to create an image window on your PC case to really any design you might want to choose. For this example, they chose Megaman as their inspiration. Worried about dust getting into the case? Don’t worry so much, the hole is covered up with fiberglass. Neat idea. — Andrew Dobrow
