Cool Computer Case Mods


"QUANTUM SHOT" #208


Outfit your humble PC for world domination

Extreme computer "case modding" community has some truly talented designers, who are as passionate about their PC cases, as MI6 wizards were about James Bond killer gadgets. In some cases (pun intended), the end product has truly radical looks and some wicked innards ready to unleash a gamer's fury upon the world...

Here is an update of what's going on in Ukraine, for example:
DPK modding community 2007 competition entries:


"Virgil" by Valery Zhuk


"Age Reincarnation", by Alexander Kolesnikov


'Mirtus Communicus" by Artem Novikov


"R2D14m" by Pavel Rafalovich


"Recycle Your Computer" by Alexey Chistov


"Me Lady" by Artem Zheleznyak


"Wheel Case" by Alexander Kolesnikov


mod by Alexander Brikov


"Charged!" by Alexey Chistov

On the other side of the ocean, American case-modders are going nuts, too:

WMD
Weapons of Mass Destruction can now be a feature of any office, if you so desire.
The whole project is documented here





WMD II:



via Gadgets Fosfor. They have another interesting weird mod list.

Probably the best case modding company

Best Case Scenario certainly rocks.
Here is the "Matrix Regenerator"
(there is something living inside of it...possibly)





They also have very cool Alien case mod

Fusion Mods has a nice thread devoted to this art:

Hey dude. I like your blog. It doesn't even look like a regular blogspot blog! Can you please give me some pointers because I want to change the site design for my blog, Pariah's Guild (www.pariahs-guild.blogspot.com)

Also would you you be interested in doing a link swap? THX

Comments:
  • Last one is from the filming set of an Audi commercial, I guess. It's an advertisment for their 4x4 drives.
    Read more

  • A number of these are either art installations (the car with the trailer) or ads (the car crushed by the muffin).
    Read more

  • You can find the Audi commercial celebrating 25 years of Audi quattro on YouTube:
    http://youtube.com/watch?v=fqqQ0w_h9X8&v3
    Read more

  • As a fun fact, the Audi commercial is a remake of a similar commercial from 1986, both filmed in Kaipola, Finland. In both cases the car actually did climb the ski jump tower under its own power, albeit with necessary safety equipment. More here.
    Read more

  • The gray (Audi?) convertible that almost fell into the river but was stopped on the small metal stairway was an accident in Zurich, Switzerland.
    The lady (sorry, but it's true) tried to change her shoes simultaneously while driving the car out of a parking space. The picture was in the local newspapers...

    Women are said to be able to do many things simultanous... better than men... well...?

  • One of the photos is of an installation by UK street artist D*face.

  • Just a note - the Upside Down Van in the "Fat Duck Surprise" was from the filming of "My Super Ex-Girlfriend."

    It was shot a block away from my apt.

    They built that chinese restaurant right on the sidewalk - all brand new. Then a couple days they crashed the Van into it.

  • aqelqrThe photo of the white car with the green winged ball is a piece of artwork on Brick Lane in London. The street artist is D'Face according to an article in Sherman's Travel Magazine. Spring 2007 issue, page 55. It is actually not on street level as the photo makes you believe.

  • The one with the snowmobile bogged down in the water was probably because he slowed down. Notice how many tracks go in and out of the water. Believe it or not, snowmobiles will plane on the water and I've seen televised snowmobile races in the middle of summer on lakes...alls well until they slow down, then they sink.
    Read more

  • The picture of Aalborg bus that rammed thru the back of the ferry has an additional joke: the blue freightship in the background has a name, but it's photoshopped. It says "et vaan osaa" which is finnish for "you just can't do it right, can you".

  • Very interesting. Thanks for the post. I admit I never would have thought of this : )

  • You can find some great images (and information) on the Fw Triebflugel at http://www.luft46.com/fw/fwtrieb.html

    And a scale model at http://meltingpot.fortunecity.com/seymour/32/triebmp.html

    I picked up the model on a trip to Koblenz once, and it is quite nice. Have yet to assemble it though!

  • The first set is of the The Lions Back, Moab, UT.

  • I've run some 4wd roads in the mountains of Colorado, and while the uphills might have been tough at 13 and 14 thousand feet elevations, let's just say I was really glad I wasn't driving. Scary stuff!!

  • See if you can find a pic for the Paikakareke road on the North Island of New Zealand.
    Read more

  • FWIW, the bushducks.com one is not very wild at all. The camera is tilted and the horizon is at a 30 degree angle; look at the trees in the background or the rear end of the vehicle, which, if the camera is level, is suspended in an impossible manner.
