The Amazing (Real) Pocketbike PC Case Mod
Too bad you can't really ride it anymore.
We all love a good case mod. Some of our favorite case mods involve things that weren't meant to hold computers in the first place, such as a pocketbike that can hit 110 km/h.
17-year-old "Saibot" from Canada took an old pocketbike and gutted it to accept a full Intel Core i7-based system. The impressive project took 12 days of work spread over five months.
The best part of his mod was that he documented the entire process with pictures, transforming a furry bike into an amazing pocketbike PC complete with lighting effects. The user can still actually sit on the bike, but with no engine, it's not going anywhere.
Specs:
Corsair TX750watt PSU
Intel i7 920 d0 batch# 3845b260
Asus p6t
OCZ 6gb DDR3-1800 @ 8-8-8-26
XFX 8800 GTS (my 9800 gtx+ died)
1x WD 500gb HDD
1x Samsung 1tb HDD
Furry pocket bike
True120 + tricool
Lots of lights and led fans.
Check out his build in full detail here. (Yes, we know that this mod is from nearly a year ago, but true coolness is timeless.)

Pretty cool mod, but what is it with people puting decent CPU's with crap end GPU's..
flamingerbil : maybe because they don't use it much gaming??
We have a tonnes of machines with Quad Core i7, SSD drives and upwards of 16GB RAM .. but Intel integrated graphics ..
computer games are not the be all and end all of PCs
(sick and tired of everyone going on about graphics cards ..)

Look at it and tell me you honestly believe he's going to use it for anything else.
I take it those machines are used for scientific purposes?
