How about a "Commodore 64 @933" and an ITX-64

I'm not a Mac fan by any stretch, but the G5 has very little visible wiring from the pictures I've seen and has probably the best looking internals of any system I've ever seen. Although, it isn't exactly a mod. =)

My personal favourite by vevva · 2003-09-12 21:53 · Score: 5, Informative

My personal favourite is www.digitaltables.co.uk - a PC hidden away in a very cool retro gaming cabinet.
Re:Caffeine Machine also Refrigerates by rewdy · 2003-09-12 22:00 · Score: 3, Informative

not to nit-pick, but the cpu/mountain dew refrigeration system is being planned for the second version of the caffeine machine, not the current version. either way, i certainly hope he posts a more in-depth page of how it was constructed for anyone wanting to make thier own. i'm thinking about it, so i locally mirrored this page for when i get around to it. it's in russian, but it has enough pictures to answer most questions.

Don't forget the Imperial Star Destroyer case mod. wow, overkill and too much time on his hands.

just count how many times could light (or electricity) cross a PC case during one cycle of 2GHZ CPU

Easy way to remember. 1ns = 1foot. So during 1 cycle of a 2GHz CPU, light travels 6 inches.

Hmmm, but the question is: who's skull should it be?

I would have said Darl McBrides', but the bone is probably so thick you'd have trouble fitting anything larger than a single 186 CPU in there...

Actually, that explains a lot...

Code, Hardware, stuff like that.

Darl McBride. Of course, we'd have to use a crusoe processor, as a pentium and cooling system wouldn't fit.
