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."

  1. Art, pure and simple by Knife_Edge · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This is the single most inspired and creative case mod I have ever seen. I see some posts from people scorning it. Maybe you would not want to own one, but that's only because it would be better off in a museum or something.

  2. It's art, damn it... by ndogg · · Score: 4, Interesting

    So what if it's not "functional" or seems "pointless." So what if it "goes over the top" for case modding. It's supposed to be art, which is the point of most case modding. If case modding was meant to be functional, the most we would ever do is add a few fans to our cases or some other such piece of hardware. The bland tan colored boxes wouldn't bother us.

    Judge it for its aesthetic appeal, not for its functionalness or whether or not you would want to buy it (even if you did want to, I would doubt you would be able to.) Judging it by any other context is off topic.

  3. Top exhaust vent by Ambush · · Score: 3, Interesting
    The top exhaust vent is made from a model of the space station from ST:DS9. In the bottem-left of the picture you can even see the landing pad for the shuttle crafts.

    It's the same model as I have hanging from my ceiling.

    So obviously he's either consolidating a number of his hobbies, or he's supposed to be cleaning out his garage. :-)
