The Amazing (Real) Pocketbike PC Case Mod
Too bad you can't really ride it anymore.
We all love a good case mod. Some of our favorite case mods involve things that weren't meant to hold computers in the first place, such as a pocketbike that can hit 110 km/h.
17-year-old "Saibot" from Canada took an old pocketbike and gutted it to accept a full Intel Core i7-based system. The impressive project took 12 days of work spread over five months.
The best part of his mod was that he documented the entire process with pictures, transforming a furry bike into an amazing pocketbike PC complete with lighting effects. The user can still actually sit on the bike, but with no engine, it's not going anywhere.
Specs:
Corsair TX750watt PSU
Intel i7 920 d0 batch# 3845b260
Asus p6t
OCZ 6gb DDR3-1800 @ 8-8-8-26
XFX 8800 GTS (my 9800 gtx+ died)
1x WD 500gb HDD
1x Samsung 1tb HDD
Furry pocket bike
True120 + tricool
Lots of lights and led fans.
Check out his build in full detail here. (Yes, we know that this mod is from nearly a year ago, but true coolness is timeless.)

elbert Now he needs to replace the windshield with an LCD. A few moto racing games and this would be amazing.Reply -
coleipoo Yo dawg, we gave you a PC in your bike so you can play games while you pretend to ride bike.Reply -
back_by_demand I thought that was a can of Mountain Dew at first and was going to comment that the guy is now double-geek cool.Reply
Zooming in it's Canada Dry Ginger Ale.
Epic Fail. -
sirmorluk Sure you guys can laugh but I can tell you nothing beats the feel of 2.6 Ghz of raw multicore hyperthreaded power between your legs.Reply -

jomofro39 His system's bottleneck is the muffler. And I wonder how his RAM timing interferes with his ignition timing :-/Reply
