Here is my extreme modding:

I have made a lot of modding in the past, but this is, by far, the most extreme. See more pictures, specs and info on the homepage of the project:

my rig is caseless ( mobo - extreme striker is sitting on the plastic covering it came in) and running a 29' lcd monitor. now thats living on the edge for me...
 
I don't know how EXTREME this is, but this is my first baby:

I have since changed those ugly ball feet, upped the PSU (Still with OCZ), removed the copper netting and added lighted fan grid in the front...and more oak trim on the edges. Yeah, I know, it is already obsolete......but hey, I would rather have a old Ferrari then a brand new Honda Civic!
Oh, and refitted a keyboard and mouse into oak shells as well.

Since this build I modded a Dell Dimension 4400 case to look like a frog, for my daughter, and am currently building a wall mounted computer buildt inside those cxolored plastic hamster cage parts and tubes.
 
This is a really old thread, so I don't know if you guys are still keeping up with it, but here is my "Ultimate Gaming Mod".

The initial computer build can be found here: http://discuss.extremetech.com/forums/1/1004413193/ShowThread.aspx

The gist of the mod can be found here: http://discuss.extremetech.com/forums/thread/1004415771.aspx

Booger Build it m0D!!! My Bestest Mod. Afrotech r my h3ro¿!

Har Har, this computer is now my DoD:S Server. My current System is a stripped down Lian-li PC-06, looks the same as my old Franken-pooter, but Aluminum.

behind the system... I Build nice computers for work, and I wanted sumptin' different, so's I built my Franken-pooter's :) also, easy access for maintenance and upgrades
 
My main pc is this NES pc i built late year. I thought about it and a coworker mentioned it 'has been done', so i googled it, and sure enough, like everything else, it'd been done. The ones i saw were 'not so pretty', so I decided to go ahead and build it anyways.
Intel ITX board w/integrated Celeron (conroe core) 1.2 ghz/533 fsb
1 gig ram, ddr2/single channel
80 gig fujitsu 2.5" hdd
buffalo wifi stick
sony dvd burner, slim, laptop style

DREMEL tool was my friend for about a month, so was hot glue =D
i removed the front controller sockets and added a black metal mesh grille to cover an inlet fan, there are two outlet fans, one on top and one on the bottom of the case where the original vents are. rigged the power button to a 'hold and release' style from the original click and hold, courtesy of a Dell power button, and changed the LED to blue. I took lots of pics, here are some...

In a few months (3 or 4) i'll have all the parts of my Gaming Machine.
Its not liquid nitrogen so to me its not that fancy but would that qualify me?
I could tape me building it from scratch?

See the machine in the profile that will be THE ONE,
I have the case, and Mobo, already tucked away at home.
But i'm slowly paying for the rest of the parts.

I might go cheaper DDR3 1600Mhz ram instead though.
I'll change the profile decription when i have decided,

P.s. i'd have all the parts sooner if you can find me a sponsor..

Well its worth a try 😉

Okay this isn't my invention, but I have a few spare cases, and feel fairly confident i can build one of these myself from one for much less than $750.

Click the link below to see a PC case modded to a hydroponic grow case... COOL hey..
http://www.homegrown-hydroponics.com/lapccotogrbo.html

All i need is a 5500K globe, old lamp (socket&plug), and wire in a few fans, with a triple adapter to the timer for lights and fans and Air pump from an aquarium to keep the hydroponic mix oxygenated.
I'll send in pictures later, when i get the parts to make it, if you wanna see it.

 
Yeah very very nice to look at, till it springs a leak and burns,
I Can't even see any power cables
Also can't see any IDE/SATA cables, Unless they are blue glowing round cable type.
If only we were all made of money, all of us could spend $5000 ++ on a new system build.
 
this is nothing like the one Freezed1 posted, thats the nicest water rig i have ever seen.

This is my baby, cut holes everywhere as to not have any cabling seen.

Not as neat with power cables i can see yours.. lol
nah looks great!
Didn't realise pipes got that thick.
Hope there's no leaks or spills or even The Super mario bro's won't save ur pc.
 
It's not a completed project yet and wont be until early 2009 but Its Called "Ifrit" yes the ff12 airship im making a replica of it. So far i have only a few materials for it as that im still browsing for my other materials to determine which will be the best.

here are some official pics

Damn there's some nice systems in here. As for mine it's just a plain old air cooled gaming rig.

It's got a few things sweet under the hood though.

Q6600 @ 3.2ghz 1600fsb. This is on a xfx 680i mobo btw :)
OCZ 6400 8gb
320g western digital caviar
Silverstone Decathlon 750watt modular PSU
EVGA G92 8800GTS @ 761/1026/1907
 
Here is my system.
Q6600 over clocked to 3.2Ghz (air cooled)
2 9800GTX sli Overclocked to 795Mhz.
8GB 800Mhz ddr2 4-4-4-12 overclocked as well
Antec ninehundred case
Vista ULT 64
3 Rapter 80GB Hard dives in Raid0
Vista Rating at 5.9
MSI Nforce 750I Sli mainboard

Iwish you could make it EZer to add a pic so that you can see the cool green automotive neon I added to the case.
It looks much cleaner than the one in your video. I was Tri SLI with the 9800s but i keep killing 1200 Watt Power Supplys.
 
One more thing. This is my work computer and I built it on a budget.
