Alienware Brings LAN Party Hummer to Comic Con
West Coast Customs is probably best known for the ridiculous cars it rigs up for guests on MTV's Pimp My Ride. Whether it's fireplaces or flat screens you want, they'll figure out a way to put it into your beaten-up old truck.
However, AMD has just revealed that Alienware was one of West Coast's more recent customers. According to AMD's Facebook fan page, they'll be rolling up to Comic Con 2010 in what looks like a pimped out Hummer.* They're calling it a mobile LAN party and though we don't know quite what's in it, we can see several laptops (with external displays up top), a few desktops and we're assuming they're all packing Samsung SSDs. Just call it a hunch.
AMD's been teasing this thing for a three days by posting odd looking photos, which we now know were the back rear panel of the vehicle, and dropping hints like: "Alienware is always redefining mobile gaming."
Check all three photos and the car itself below.

Friend: "Let's play some StarCraft II! Oh wait..."
And thus ends the tragic tale
+1 sir! I wish SC2 had lan support
But that is freakin' awesome, regardless of the functionality or practicality.
Naturally, I'd be worried about car accidents in this thing. It looks like a kid with a skateboard running into it can do plenty of damage.
I'd say that a wide 18-wheeler that's enclosed, has seats, AC, and lights would be better. Also could fit more people for a more intensive LAN party. It would also win in a game of chicken with a skateboarder.

Or, let anyone tattoo you in the back seat with Henry Rollins behind the wheel.
Bully for me!
That's a rather German word for that kind of car Jane. But then again, anything bigger than a stationwagon is called a Bully here...these Germans really have no imagination at all!
Even rarer when the PSNI sent them all over to help find Raol Moat...
