In Pictures: Kalinka! Modding Between Moscow And Siberia

[Guest]

You have to love the Russian sense of humor evident in these case mods. That, plus pride in craftsmanship and some imagination, leads to rather eccentric PC projects. The pictures in this article prove that you'll find swans among the country's ducklings.

I hate these kind of articles, nothing useful, nothing interesting. And surely, I am going to get "thumbed down"....

One thing is certain...
The Russians are NVIDIA's fanboy...

Yeah, you live with your mom. Congrats.

I see that PC (BECKS) as more of a beerwarmer than a PC cooler! What a waste of beer! THese articles are actually interesting because not all should be just benchmarks, reviews, and newbriefs.

In Russia, it is cold as, well, not hell, so they love the extra heating features of the fermi cards. Some of them even use liquid heat transfer so they can have hot water all over the house.

the hammer is a symbol of old Germany (Nazi) and was used in Pink Floyd the wall

Well, it is actually pretty hot in there right now:

But then again, it could be BECAUSE of all of those Nvidia cards they like to use so much

That Doom 3 case mod was done a long way from Russia. It's beautiful, but the credit belongs with the builder.

how about Americans??? Obama fans !!!! LOL !!!

Um, that black nVidia case you keep calling 'binoculars' looks alot more like a 'drop-ship' from almost any futuristic game, especially RTSs. Notice the fans in what would be the thruster components? Yeah.

And it's weary seeing such degrading captions. I mean, there's witty and funny... and then there's just being an ass. Besides, many of these mods look pretty good.

Don't let the haters get to you greg. Your response was tactful, unlike the person who tried to put you down. Always good to have classy PC enthusiasts on the site, regardless of their age.

Not in siberia it isn't 😛

 

[irh_1974]

For a more realistic Chernobyl inspired case they need a Fermi card
Meltdown!

 

[sirmorluk]

I liked the Pink Floyd case (the one with the hammers).

Well, about 85% of Russia's wealth is concentrated in Moscow. Obviously, a lot more people in there can afford Fermi cards versus siberia, that's why it's burning hot! 😛

 

[iskanzar]

The Russian should stick with the Reds. Stalin would definitely love it!

 

[eyemaster]

At least they like ManOWar! Yeah!!!!

 

[belardo]

The PC case with the HAMMER is ZERO, nothing to do with Toms Hardware!

Pink Floyd: The Wall. Locate art or a video clip or watch the movie.

 

[belardo]

Doom 3 case is very cool looking...

 

[JohnnyLucky]

Very Kool! Beats the heck out of the typical black box.

 

[kamen]

Argh, I can't believe that nobody at Toms has a clue about Pink Floyd the Wall. Tom's you just lost 2 Points of credibility with me.

Also, I want to mod a case so that it has a built in "FleshLite" that way when I get done installing some new hardware I can really show my system some love.
