Edelweiss PC Casemod

The Edelweiss PC by Million-Dollar-PC is one of the first computers we've come across that seamlessly combines art and function. All its wires and cables are hidden, but its components are suspended out there for all to see.

Peer inside its smoked glass cover, and you'll see its innards, intertwined with tubing for its liquid cooling system. Check out that graduated cylinder on the outside holding some of the coolant. Stunning.

Steampunk Frankenstein PC Case Mod

We see plenty of Steampunk mods around, but this one surely takes things to a new level of insanity. Constructed by Dana Mattocks, the SteamPunk Frankenstein PC case mod 8 feet tall, and weighs over 400 pounds. The project apparently took a year to complete, and it shows.

Not opportunity for modification is pass up, with everything from the power button (a discreet brass valve) to the air intake (an old church floor vent) gets a neo-Victorian overhaul. While it looks like a wooden mainframe, its guts are pure high-end gaming. The dual Nvidia 8800 GTX system is watercooled throughout, keeping noise to a minimum.

Check out Dana's full Flickr set to see the Frankenstein in all its glorious detail.
