Team Fortress 2 sentry case mod looks deadly
Master modder TiTON’s latest Team Fortress mod recreates a TF2 sentry. Less deadly, but very impressive. It might even be too pretty to use. This life size Valve-inspired mod is simply awesome. This one is impressive enough, but he plans on building a teleporter pad to accompany the set, and also a Windows Vista Sideshow-enabled touchscreen attachment disguised as a Sapper.

Some specs include: EVGA e-7150 / 630i Motherboard, Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 CPU, EVGA GeForce 9600 GT Graphics Card, 4GB Crucial Tracer PC2-6400 DDR2 Memory, Silverstone Strider 650W Modular PSU, Silverstone NT06 Lite CPU cooler w/ 120mm Fan, and 160GB Seagate Momentus Notebook Hard Drive.

Anime girl PC casemod is the work of nerd desperation
What’s a nerd to do when one day you wake up and realize that there’s no woman in your life and there likely never will be? You create your own woman, that’s what! One who will carry your PC on her back like Luke carrying Yoda.

If that’s not creepy enough, make sure you take plenty of pictures of the project, and I mean planty, detailing every stage of it’s construction and adding to the overall flavor of desperation and geek excitement. That’s what Katsuya Matsumura did. His gal is party in the front and PC in the back. Say what you will about a perv and his PC, you don’t have one.

Holy Hieroglyphics: Stunning Egyptian case mod
Whether built by King Tut himself or the work of an ancient alien civilization, this is surely proof of alien intervention. The detail is just too amazing. There’s no way they could have done it. And the fact that an ancient PC case has been unearthed…

This work of art was built from nothing by Chris Kramer a.k.a “Jadragon”, and is called the EgyptMod PC. There’s some amazing detail, like hieroglyphics, fake jewels and an awesome aged look. Check out the Eye of Ra made of brass and inlaid with polished malachite and verisite. The project took over 200 hours of carving and he never once wavered and cried out for his mummy. It’s a truly inspiring creation.

Motorcycle case mod is a beauty
Check out this PC case mod. This liquid-cooled motorcycle computer works best when stationary, which sucks because I’d like to zoom down the street and blog at the same time, despite any pedestrian’s dwindling screams behind me.

It was built by Russian casemodder Dennis Ilyin (a.k.a. “Xooler”), and was the first runner up in an NVIDIA-sponsored case building contest. If anyone in TV land is listening, this guy needs his own show where he builds a different case mod every week. And they must be drivable.
