Alien Case Mod

Posted by michael on from the face-hugger dept.

apatheticloser writes "The Ultimate Computer Case Mod Website has a casemod inspired by the movie Alien. The website gives specifics about the computer but doesn't give instructions on how to build it. I think its a great way to show appreciation for a classic film."

    Nobody cares. Casemodding is a fine example of uptardation.

    Why would I want a riceburner for a computer, and why would I care if others do?

    Geez dude, it's one thing for /. to link to the site, but to go out and pull a bandwidth gatling gun? That poor guy's bill.. *sniff*

  4. What using this computer would be like by Pall+Agamemnides · · Score: 5, Funny

    Dallas: Something has attached itself to him. We have to get him to the infirmary right away.
    Ripley: What kind of thing? I need a clear definition.
    Dallas: An attachment. Open the email!
    Ripley: Wait a minute. If we let it in, the computer could be infected. You know the quarantine procedure. Twenty-four hours for decontamination.
    Dallas: He could die in twenty-four hours. Open the email!
    Ripley: Listen to me, if we break quarantine, we could all die.
    Lambert: Could you open the damned email? We have to get him inside.
    Ripley: No! I can't do that and if you were in my position, you'd do the same.
    Dallas: Ripley, this is an order. Open that email right now, do you hear me?
    Ripley: Yes.
    Dallas: Ripley! This is an order! Do you hear me?
    Ripley: Yes. I read you. The answer is negative.

    Yeah, but this one is more practical (for some people).

    We should nuke the site from orbit.

    It's the only way to be sure.

  8. Top 10 Film-Inspired Case Mods by AtariAmarok · · Score: 4, Funny

    10. "The Matrix". Get an old Toshiba Infinia ("Darth Vader's Toilet Tank") black case, cover it with grease, place green magnetic letters on the sides, and sit back and watch them ooze down the black background

    9. "Attack of the Clones". All you need is a lot of PC clone boxes (Columbia, Gateway, Leading Edge, Zenith, Dell, etc. Put stormtrooper helmets on top of them.

    8. "Lord of the Rings". This one's pretty easy. Just clear out a space on the desk and tell people there is an invisible computer there wearing the One Ring.

    7. "The Hulk". 89 cent green spraypaint case at Wal*Mart, that's it.

    6. "Indiana Jones". Everything must be wireless, no cables. Indy hates snakes.

    5. "The Empire Strikes Back". Just slap the IBM logo on your box.

    4. "The Fully Monty". Just remove the case shell.

    3. "Christine". To honor the final scene of this fine Stephen King movie, you need to take it down to the local junkyard and ask to use the crusher.

    2. "Battlefield Earth". Just make it ugly. Real ugly, so bad no one will want to see it.

    1. "Firestarter". Another Stephen King inspired mod: a flaming PC! Please visit to find out how to cause your PC to burst into flame.
