Water-Cooled Half-Life 2 Case Mod
Takara writes "In an enormous from scratch project, piloux has recreated the HL feel in his LAN PC. This UV reactive watercooled case features 7 fans along side the meticulously texture painted contents. Take a look at the finished product images."
That keyboard looks just like mine, except mine wasn't case-modded. I just didn't clean it in ages ;-)
Ahhh...the great dumpster continuum. Many a free computer will be found there. -- sowth (748135)
I don't know what's more impressive, the case mod, or the way his server has thus far withstood the slashdotting with so many images on that page.

mmmm.... exfoliating!
Cool mod, not sure how he would explain computer plastic rusting, but whatever. I'd be interested to see what a Counterstrike case mod would look like. Oh wait, it would just be an eight year old machine that everybody uses anyway even though there are better machines readily available.
Ohhh, feel the burning cynicism!!
Yup...
how about no life?
it gets stolen.
Harpo Tunnel Syndrome--my wrist feels funny.
talk about voiding a warranty...
-- it's ridiculous how many people misspell ridiculous... (damn, damn, damn...)
He needs to be careful though. The rust job is so good that should he go away for the weekend and leave it in plain view, his mother might well put it out with the trash!
Man, that's impressive.
I like that a lot. Nice and rusty. It'd be nice to see a rusty old enigma casemod ;)
Here is another idea for a good looking case mod, which I think captures and contains the HL2 feel just as well. ;)

Most casemods just look like somebody got wild with coloured leds, some pliers and a bottle of glue but this one is absolutely amazing; wouldn't mind having me one of those. Can't wait for Discovery Channel to start with a series of "Orange County Casemods" ;)
Slashdot social media options: AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, Jabber and Mobile Text. Why no MySpace?
Be careful: It might leak.
This guy is really talented - the box looks fantastic. I'd hire him to do my car if I were up to it. It'd be interesting to have my family car modded like this, it might end up looking like a high-tech urban assault vehicle :)

Whoah, baby! Stand by for the marriage (or just plain anonymous-sex-with-ubergeek) proposals!
[Nice work, though]
Damn cool mod though - I wonder if I can get him to mod my cat...
Gentoo Linux - another day, another USE flag.
He evaded the slashdot effect by sending his server back in time!
I am reminded of this.

More impressive is the fact a webpage of seveal big images doesnt explode under the rumble of thousands of geeks getting a look.
Ha, My G5 has nine fans. And that does not include the 4 fans I have on slashdot.
But maybe he wouldn't want to be without his machine for that long.
To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it
Well, he might hope to get a reward from them before he dies though.

No, I can't post any pictures, but it will be ready in the fall, honest.
When I am king, you will be first against the wall.
Now all he needs is the game to play it on ;)
The secret to getting modded up is to allways say i've got karma to burn in your sig..
This guy better have some serious gaming skills. Nothing would be worse than showing up at a LAN party with this rig ang getting your ass handed to you. Kinda like the kids who come out sporting the hardcore gear -- cuz their parents can afford it -- and can't play for shit.
Unfortunately, his machine would be outdated then...
I've just bought a brand new case.
:)
I'm willing to bet that by the time HL2 is actually released my case will look just as rusty as his
I have no sig yet I must scream.
