Lo Guys

I just found this pic and I thought it was a great idea for a mod. The image is from the now defunct Chopper Computers in Texas. I wonder how much one of these bad boys would have cost? Some of you may have seen this before (it is an older system now), but I still think that it was very well done. It even has a sliding mobo tray lol

the chopper mod aint anything new. been around for at least a year now. Theres a couple of them. I think it was done by the guy who did the extreme cooling mod with a grinder motor and a turbo charger from a car.

I did say that some may have seen it before in the OP. The pic you have included looks pretty sick too. If it is the same guy he does some awesome mods. Thanks for the pic :)
 
Oh man I have just spent the past 10 minutes lmao at that mac case.

It got out of control when I read his last sentance on his post.

"If you have any other suggestions on "detail" Let me know, I'd love to hear some feedback on what might make it look a little more.. professional."
 
You know, I think I've seen one of those chopper cases floating around on ebay a while ago =O

The Mac case... umm.... let's just not say anything about that, shall we? :o
