There are some strange ones at virtualhideout.net, including several in cardboard boxes. One of my favorites is tacked to a cork board.

MY favorite one was a Potato Chip Bag.

He even had room in the very front for a few chips! lol

A teacher from my old high school built a computer in an empty 12 back of Blue Light. As i saw it up close i thought it was pretty cool.

I like that idea - you have to drink it first to fit the comp in (I'm assuming Blue Light is a beer, if it were me doing the modding I'd have to use a crate of Fosters :)

This one looks similar to an atomic bomb--or perhaps a high bypass turbo fan. It is a must-see. http://www.overclockers.com.au/pcdb/view.php?name=Mcgoff&page=pics .

Arrgh. The Forum won't let me edit my posts. The link doesn't work. Just type it out manually---it's worth it!

My vote will have to go to this one (http://www.eugenesargent.com/case1.htm), even over the car.

I'm sure that thing took ALOT of work, and that's very commendable... but the design is just HORRID! It looks like someone removed a radiator out of a 50's apartment, took it into an alley with a posse of cronies, and proceeded to beat it with lead pipes and water-filled metal baseball bats for a week straight, then crammed a computer into it.

The work involved must have been incapacitatingly tedious and painstaking. Very, VERY nice work, just an ugly design.

I don't have the link, but someone made a case out of LEGO...

It looked funny, but didn't have the right logo on the side, IMHO.

Heck yeah! just needs the grey-greenish tone to it, and it could be used in the the next "Aliens" movie.

I think it would be sweet if someone built a PC in an inflated novalty sized condom. But I have yet to see an example of this. Maybe I should give it a shot. I'd be kinda like building a ship in a bottle . . . . .
