Official Valve Half-Life 2 Case Mod 19
Timmeh writes "bit-tech.net has the worklog from a Half-Life 2 inspired case mod, as comissioned by Gabe Newell. The PC mod was done by the same guy that did the original Blackmesa case mod."
Your password is pitifully obvious.

You start at the beginning and pick a pink iMac and the commentator say 'oh, weak dude!'
I think EA have plans to release this next summer.
You can upgrade to over clock, bigger CPU and case fans, different colling compounds and liquid cooling systems (no2 baby!)
You then drag you cases out into the desert and then try and cool them as fast as possible. 0 to -60 in x seconds.
Then you use your l33t case modding skills to hijack trucks carrying tvs and dvds and sell them, and then have to go pink slips for a car that can load windows XP in 10 seconds, a fabled car called a 10 second car... it usually fires case screws out the back when you push it too hard...
Any other correlations between the geeky art of case modding and the chick laden sport of illegal street racing?

Actually I would corelate case modding and overclocking to the early days of street rods.
Folks were trying to make them look great and/or modified to be fast.

I mean, most carfans thumb through books of go faster stripes, tears, lighting, speakers, and screen logos, which is like case modding, while others put nos into thier mums 1.1 VW polo and an exhaust shaped like a trumpet to amplify their mums automatic shopping trip runner.
Sad really! Live the dream!

that's some serious effort and artistic skill involved in this. the only problem with extreme case modding is that your project is obsolete by the time you finish it. (that and i wouldn't ever want to use the keyboard/mouse, those must feel awful)

Case mods should be elegant and/or imaginative, not atrocious.

The first one really reminded me of the BlackMesa facility, this one looks like.. a steam ship. I think that might be because he based the design on screen shots, rather than the game play. I couldn't have done better, and I have no ideas of my own, but I was still expecting more for the OFFICIAL HL2 computer.
Its an excellent case mod though, I really do love the design itself.
