    The machine has a Biostar M7VKQ motherboard with integrated sound, video and LAN, and a Duron 750 is the CPU

    Anyone else notice the bottle of lotion next to the monitor in the 5th picture? Is it any wonder he had time to make this thing? :)

  9. I've seen weider cases... by cheekymonkey_68 · · Score: 3, Funny

    If you're on the subject of weird pc cases, then check out the toilet pc, its got to be seen to be believed.

    This guy bought a childs 'training toilet and turned it into one weird looking Pc.

    Personally, I think it would be inconvenient to make one yourself.

    After all that trouble to make a customised case, it would only take one drunken guy to 'christen' the pc case....
