Top 5 Coolest Case Mods

cosa — Thu, 02 Nov 2006 08:00:19 +0000

As a geek, you might not just want a super-powerful monster PC, but I believe a cool extra-ordinary cases is a must (if you can make one). Well, check out this compilation of 5 coolest case mods ever feature on this site and see if any of them can give you idea for the next coolest mods.

Human-Shaped Anime Case Mods

As an anime-lovers, this one definitely on the first rank on my list. It’s a human-shaped anime babes case mods, made by Katsuya Matsumura. With that much anime characters, I probably won’t be able to decide which one I want to hold my motherboard, but even Kana, picture above, would satisfy me already.
PC-On-A-Water-Pot (Liquid PC)

My mother, who spend most of her time in the garden with her plants, would probably love this, a fully-functional PC placed on a water tank, complete with a water plan. It uses cheap mineral oil as the cooler. She might skip the computer parts to me though.
Ford Bronco PC Case Mods

It’s the winner of NewEgg’s monthly mods contest, so it IS really cool. The maker, Richard Sherman, placed a whole mini PC onto a miniature of Ford Bronco (he’s a big fans of Bronco), which include a 12.1-inch LCD monitor. Whether you’re a fans of Bronco or not, you should check this case mods.
Battlefield 2142 Case Mods

Not the coolest in my opinion, but definitely the most extreme one on the list. Butterkneter, as a gamers, made a machine-gun-shaped cases along with military theme, inspired by one of his favourite war game, Battlefield 2142.
Cow Milk Jug PC Case Mods

Crazy but cute. Those 3 words probably enough to describe this wonderful Milk Jug case mods. The author, a Russian modder, even included a stuffed cow doll inside the jug. Funny!

And there are a whole lot more case mods.

Pumpkin PC

Q: What would a computer geeks made to celebrate the Halloween?
A: A pumpkin PC!

That’s correct. A modder has managed to place a fully-functional PC inside a real pumpkin. As long as you don’t imagine what will happen to the motherboard when the pumpkin rots, this wonderful case mods still sounds… errr.. wonderful. The specs include an Intel Pentium M (1.6GHz) processor, a 512MB of DDR2 RAM, and a DVD/RW burner.

Speck’s iKitty iPod Nano Cases

cosa — Fri, 30 Dec 2005 16:59:46 +0000

No, it’s the same as the iKitty iPod cases that we’ve covered last month. Coming from the same company, Speck Production, here’s the iPod Nano version of the iKitty. It has a different shape than its big brother – (obviously) smaller and comes with legs and eyes. But like the iKitty for iPod, this new cases also posable. Well, you can only bend the kitty tail though, but it still fun.

Fit perfectly into either the 2GB or 4GB of iPod Nano, the iKitty cases is available in two colors: black and white. If you don’t trust the myth that black cat will bring misfortune, then get it. It’s more cool than the white one. Personally, I’ll pick the black-colored cases too.

Other features are almost similar to the iKitty for original iPod. Such as durable screen protector and ability to access all controls and wheels easily without removing the device from case. The price is $34.95 directly at Speck Production website (link below).
