Hot Rod PC's Others Have Built
Here is a gallery of Hot Rod PC's that I thought were very cool.

Handmade Lucite Case |
Flames Still Rock. Window has recessed neon lighting. |
|
Canakit LED thermometer to monitor case temps is a nice touch... |
Sweet LCD embedded in window... |
|
Cool front panel treatment... |
More lucite, in a tower, or with PVC pipe... |
|
I've seen Boom Boxes, but it never occurred to me to have a shoulder strap for my PC! The kids call it "LAN partying", by the way. They bring their PC's, hook 'em up with a LAN, and play games. |
Stealth aluminum anodized Lian Li case hides the drives... |
|
These guys painted logos from their radio-controlled toys onto their PC cases.
The Supreme Soviet: Cold War Super Computer Relic?
|
A mirrored case...
|
|
Like WWII Bomber Nose Art? Then you'll love "Doris" the neon lit PC babe... |
Neon lit, curio cabinet PC case. Very tasty! |
|
Dessert Storm Camo PC, anyone? |
|
|
Quite a PC Game-inspired paint job! |
I like fish, but this is wild! |
|
A wild mod that looks like a rack o' stereo gear... Sweet! |
What if we took a NeXT cube and polished the magnesium to look like chrome? Master case modder Cold Dog is the author of this masterpiece... |
|
Radical Industrial Chic! |
Wild paint and neon lit window... |
|
The true alpha-geek can custom engineer an LCD status panel for his case...
Chase Lights!
True Insanity: Some modders open their hard disks and put windows on them so you can see the heads seeking! This one was by a guy named Linear, who also built this nice cube to house it:
|
How about meeting this guy in a dark alley?
EL cable-lit fan array...
This is PSRage's famous gaming rig. Pretty darned awesome! |
|
Cool alien etching! Cables have a black light lit weed eater line so they glow!
Trinity Cube by Play This is a broadcast TV studio gizmo. Really a cool look. They're out of business, so I couldn't find a decent pic any more.
Or, you could build a cube completely from scratch using metal sheets... |
Windows. Neon. Auto painted chassis. Display window in top of DVD drive. Blue LEDs. Painted case. Man, that's a lot of work!
Red cable sheaths.
|
|
Who says you can't mod a laptop? This fella polished the magnesium case to a chrome-like finish. Very cool! |
How about a Hot Rod PC that even looks like a Hot Rod! |
|
This is the church, this is the steeple, open the door, and here is the WHAT?
It's called a Vapochill, and it's a phase change refrigerator unit that'll take your CPU below freezing for better overclocking...
Somehow, I love this pic best of this machine... |
