TIE Fighter Case Mod

Posted by Zonk on from the empire-should-give-their-pilots-sturdier-craft dept.

serutan writes "Extreme Tech just kicked off their weekly case mod contest. The first winning entry is a scale model of a Star Wars TIE Fighter that's both a computer case and a desk. The rig is crafted out of PVC, plywood, a pet exercise ball, and bondo (so basically it's pretty much like the real thing)."
