This Isn't A PC, It's a Robotic Monster
This PC mod looks like something ripped out of The Matrix.
Russian website Casemods.ru is featuring a beast of a machine called “Monster,” a custom PC mod pulling its overall design from cyberpunk-themed science-fiction. The layout reportedly took over 5 years of planning using AutoCAD 3D and was constructed in the bedroom, as the corner balcony provided the necessary space. Visually it’s overwhelming and impressive at the same time, earning its well-deserved "Monster" title.
Unfortunately actual specs weren’t provided; however based on the modder’s pictures, the Slim-ATX chassis housing the PC components seems to consume only 25-percent of the whole setup. The modder said that his favorite part was the "control panel" consisting of three door peepholes, a furniture hinge, an antennae splitter, cable clamps, plumbing bolts and heating coils, all held up on a table lamp bracket.
Structurally, Monster is comprised of three sections: the lower, middle, and upper. The lower portion comprises of arms made from wall brackets to hold the LCDs, eleven antennae couplers, air hoses, the UPS unit and more. As for the top, it contains the ceiling mount, a bracket for installing the system unit, the actual PC (aka "victim"), and an old trash can for CD storage. The middle section, nicknamed "ridge monster," contains the power supply, water cooling and more.
Head here to see the full image gallery and the Russian translation--it’s quite impressive.

I think that any PC with Vista still on it can be classified as a monster.
GLaDOS says hello
lol this thing is pretty cool
Cool mod!
waste of time if it can't play Crysis
Very creative, but not a look I'd want in my house.

thats true but what makes you think it runs vista?
More motor, less wire, please... This thing looks more like life support then a muscle car. I can't call it retro, futuristic, masculine, sophisticated, or thought-through, but I can call it confused.
looks retarded

Could just be my eyes playing tricks again but i think i see Blown up icons on the task bar that looks awfully like Windows 7 icons. Like said, it could be just me
it looks...cancerous.
Look closely at the picture, it is running windows 7
That is one hell of a mod job! Hats off!

And I see a huge "Windows 7" written on the wallpaper.
Sweet, this is one mod i like, it is totally different than anything else I have seen.
Out of the ordinary for sure, but cool.
that is awesome... its a mixture of stuff you seen in HL2, the beloved GLaDOS and MATRIX
I don't understand why TH resizes the pictures. 533 x 400 just doesn't cut it for me. I'm using a 19" 1280x1024 monitor. Maybe if I had a 800x600 screen... I just had to login and say I WANT THE MOFO DETAIL! WTH! We're approaching 2011, 3TB drives are here. Come on!
Anyway. Had to visit the site for my fix. Now I'm calm.
The case is pretty cool, even tho many parts are just for show not serving any particular function... I would've probably used two 16:9 monitors, one standing vertically. And a custom theme and definitely not a "WINDOWS 7" wallpaper, lol.
Kinda like Johnny Mnemonic / Matrix movie ,.. A mix of grudge, fallout setting in some secluded area. Is nice to get the feeling of it.
Very creative, but not a look I'd want in my house.
No kidding. Same for the garage...
That's Vista with a Windows 7 wallpaper. Fail...
You can see the "Vista shine" on the taskbar
In Soviet Russia, computer mods YOU!
...sorry, but someone had to say it....
beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. but it is a monster indeed, gross and ugly. sorry for that.
5 years to design what looks like it was slapped together in a weekend... 4 years and 11 months learning autocad then 1 month designing it more like it.
Only in Russia would this be considered an attractive build. I have a wire closet that looks more interesting.

I can tell you from experience, designing something that looks haphazard and chaotic, yet maintains a consistent theme and works functionally is a lot more difficult than people assume.
Nice mod though. I really like it. I also wouldn't have it in the living room, but I do love the sci-fi/cyberpunk stylings... if I had a garage on the other hand I'd love to make something like this to live there.
Any one here ever see 'Brazil' ?
How about 'Colossus:The Forbin Project'
It's a real monster.
