I saw the Borg cube, and I jumped back. Holy Fu...
I am awed.

The competition that the motorcycle SLI rig was in also had a lot of beautiful rigs in it.

Thanks, lots of cool cases to finish my night off. :)

There's one impressive case mod missing: the Wall-e case mod. Not that the ones shown here are bad, mind you.

My microwave is a 1000W, a GTX 480 is 250W.
They got quad-sli working for them yet?
Granted, the Fermi would just blow hot air, and the microwave... well, microwaves. So I guess it depends on how much patience you have (someone already tried cooking a egg on a Fermi).

I saw lots of cases where they spent long hours "designing" a case, only to use crap hardware or crap air flow.
Yes these are are art, but they are worthless for computing.
When I see a case built with look and function both having taken the time (anyone using stock fans is disqualified for being a moron) and patience to make a worthwhile case.

+1 for the thought, -5000 for execution.

At a Battletech/Mechwarrior fan, I LOVE the battlemech case- even though it's not an Atlas- as near as I can tell it's a Uller (or a Puma?)

When i can start naming these mechs like that... I need to get a job.

you obviously are not reading. check when the cases were made and i think you'll see their specs pretty hardcore during their time. jeez...

Yeah, the Atlas mod isn't anything like an atlas. Not even close. Completely the wrong type of legs, Atlases have a very distinctive head, and they have normal arms not gun arms.

Its hard to say exactly what it is closest to, but definitely a Clan 'Mech and the Atlas is 100% classic Inner Sphere.

Its a cool mod, just named completely wrong.

Very slick. Too bad the Wall-e case was missed, I agree. Too bad the Tie Fighter one was missed too. But you can't count on everything being here. No matter what you find, there are always more out there.

fatedtodie, my charity build had an i7 975, 12 gigs of Crucial DDR3, Quad SLI 295s, and two Crucial 256 gig SSDS in raid 0. All water-cooled with Danger Den water-cooling. So what where you saying about Performance? All of my builds kick tail including my current project, Brimstone, which has TRi SLI 480s and will have a Gulftown proc in a couple weeks:

Seen DarthBeavis' work first hand, all are very slick looking.. especially when coupled up with his huge monitor and 360 setup at local lan events..

His setup is usually the one I've got to check out first!!

The Red mod is the most sleek and elegant of all IMO. All they have to do to make that microwave usable again is to cram a Fermi in there and load up furmark. :p 

All were really creative, honestly.

What about the case mod that was built to resemble the temple of Nod?

I always thought that one was awesome

Simply blown away by the damnation one though.... Just wow.....

Of all the case mods that you put up there by DarthBeavis you pick that one? This guy has done so many mods that are way cooler than that one. Not to say it's not, just that he's got better ones. And you can't say you picked that one becuase it was recent. Some of the mods in this article are 5+ years old.

I love the coverage of this community, because they deserve it, but it's a shame that this was limited to 20. There are some other top modders out there that were not showcased here. Also, it would be great to see an article that isn't just photos but actually goes deeper into what modding is all about, why people do it, etc, etc.

My, that microwave mod looks familiar... oh yeah, I was working that booth. That was a joke on the Video Toaster, the Video Microwave, a Pegasos running MorphOS inside of a Microwave. A bit of a callback to the old Amiga the was a clone of.
