The average modder won't take his case mod farther than a window and some running lights. But a few dedicated souls have taken the craft to a new level, with wood shops, metal work, and a lot of vision . . . and turned their computers into real art. Here are just a few of our favorites.
HP Resurrection II Evolution This water-cooled case mod comes to us all the way from the Czech Republic. The builder took an old stock HP PC case, made some serious modifications to build in a water cooling system, and then dipped the whole thing in chrome!
The PainMaster 5000 The PainMaster 5000 is a dedicated Unreal Tournament server built by a tremendously dedicated player. This mod took 84 hours to build, not to mention countless planning hours. The 5000 was made completely from scratch using wood and PVC. The inspiration came from the Unreal Tournament rocket launcher.
The R2-D2 Case This ode to Luke's number-one 'droid is a true work of art and took its creator, Ken "TGS" Kirby, several intensive weeks to construct. The mod ended up weighing nearly 100 pounds and contains a custom-cooled 3.2-GHz P4 running at 3.7 GHz and cooled to -38 degrees Celsius.
