Part 2: 20 Crazy And Unique Case Mods
Picture 1 of 20
Now wouldn't this just be special sitting on your desktop? A nasty, dirty toilet showing a bowl full of... hardware!
This ToiletPC case mod was built back in 2001 for the QuakeCon 2001 case competition. According to its creator, Envador, it didn't place because there wasn't a category fit for its unusual design. Still, it's interesting. All that seems to be missing is the stench (that's assumed) and a roll of toilet paper.
Envador said the toilet is actually a kid's potty he bought from Wal-Mart for $9.00. The flusher is the rig's power switch and most of the hardware (including the floppy, CD-ROM, and a 45 GB hard drive) is mounted on the back.
Inside, the modder stuffed an Asus CUSI FX FlexATX motherboard packed with an ATI Radeon 7000 PCI card (remember, this was 2001), 256 MB of generic PC133 RAM, a 145 W microATX power supply, and an Intel Pentium III processor clocked at 933 MHz.
"I used a long green LED light to make the toilet glow green in the dark...nothing like some good green radioactive bio-hazard toilet stuff to top it off," Envador said.
If I sit on that toilet, then there will be hot air blowing over my you-know-what.
They all seem kind of ugly; except the bottle of Scotch.
The bottle of scotch is my favorite. The mannequin cases freak me out lol
First case mod was.... yuk!
These are cool but impracticle. I wish mine could be added to a list like this. Its unfinishished work but nearly complete.
You be the judge!

A fun challenge would be to go to a dumpster, close your eyes, pick any piece of junk at random, and build a system around it. That pizza box rig is impressive lol.

Uh...Mounting a computer is not a 'case mod'... -1
Number 11 was my favourite, it actually made me laugh. I thought I had too many fans in my pc...
The second I read the word 'hellraiser', I wanted to Alt F4...

I'll admit, that's a cool looking setup (I was going to build a wooden one similar for my eyefinity setup, but finances said no), but certainly not a case mod.
hardcore gaming rig with a SSD an three monitors on one side, and storage server rocking 8x2TB RAID5 on the other with a single monitor?
lol this is such a flash back to when case modding first started!!
I LIKE IT. i like like like it.

Guess he never had a problem with his P4 running hot...
I don't like most of them since they seam just to have poor taste even for a modder except for the whiskey bottle and the piano. The Pizza box was fitting and quite original. The satanic one however I do not like at all.
While I wouldn't exactly want (m)any of those sitting on my desk, I can certainly understand the hard work it must have taken to create them. My own case mod might not look like much (http://yfrog.com/jtimg0130kj) but it took a whole weekend of dremmelling and splicing and resulted in many cut fingers - if that's what mine took then I can only imagine what these more complex looking ones entailed.
My PC has two slots that accept bare SATA drives. Give me the toaster, and I'll put those at the bottom of two of the toast slot. Imagine - "Time to toast this drive," and put it into the toaster.
That case covered with fans deserves a better cpu and a more powerful gpu.
A few of them are pretty good, most i wouldn't want as a case though
About the fan case, just imagine how loud that would be, not only do you have 70 fans, but no side panels or anything to dampen the sound, @d0gr0ck i hope the P4 didn't get hot with that case
personally i am just getting into painting cases, and i don't mean just spray paint and be done, the whole nine yards (sand,prime,paint,wet sand,clear coat)
As much as enthusiasts like thier PCs ...it's high time somone made a case out of a sex doll ...
I liked the toaster pc. Now if it could only make coffee...
A 480 SLI setup could make the toaster one functional.
