This one comes to you from www.extremetech.com where they hold a weekly casemod contest. Its a previous yet very recent winner: A fully transformable 6 foot 10 inch tall Optimus Prime desktop case mod.




For those of you who think you see a familiar shape on the cases chest..Yes, there is in fact a light up "Matrix of Leadership" in there (Wouldn't it be cool of "You've Got the Touch" started playing when you opened the chest plate:)? ). For anyone interested in what went into it, looking to find more pictures of the mod, and interested in seeing some of the previous winners/entrants, go ahead and hit up the following link. There's supposed to be one with a live gerbil in it;)...

There was a pretty cool one where someone gutted a R/C car of the most recent Batmobile ("The Tumbler" from "Batman Begins") and built their computer into it with all kinds of LEDs and whatnot. Looked pretty cool but its a pain trying to get the pictures to link right. Just go find it:P

I want one. My own personal geeky body guard. Who would ever mess with a crazy chik that has a 6 ft. tall Optimus Prime body guard.

I dunno. I don't think the crazy guy with the six foot Megatron would mess with the crazy girl with the six foot Prime. In fact, if they ever met I think they would have to get married. It'd be like a rule. They would have to get married and have a dozen geeky children.

You mean like I stated that it'd be cool if that luigi figure you got me started playing music from a mario game instead of just a sound effect?

Mod the figure, Dave!!

Or just play the music from your computer which is directly bellow the figure.

Or you could just enjoy the figure for what it is. Your call:P

An artist enjoying something for what it is and not what it COULD be? What's wrong with you Arturo!?

Of course an artists "yearning for more" and actually doing something for it is a whole other jump in itself. Why do you think so many of them are "tortured"?


The correct answer would be, because they're a bunch of sacks. *gets the tongs*

The fun part is in how you prepare the tongs: Heat? Cold? Jumper Cables? Salt and Lime?....
