Whilst still on the topic of cool Star Wars Stuff, I couldn't leave this amazing PC Case mod out. Not only is it a PC case, it also doubles as a computer desk!
This case mod from David Barry of Brooklin, New York, won him the Extreme Tech Science Fiction Case Mod Contest back in 2005. As you can see it's a replica model of a TIE Fighter housing the computer within the central cockpit. Here's what Barry had to say about it:
"As a die-hard Star Wars fan, I knew my first mod would have to incorporate something from Star Wars, and I could think of nothing cooler than a TIE Fighter. I got the blueprints online and got to work. I started with the side panels (wings), which were cut from plywood. The cockpit of the TIE Fighter was most problematic part to build. After several failed attempts to create a ball out of Bondo, I finally found the perfect sphere—a Jolly Ball (a pet store item). A plywood cutout that I installed inside the ball holds all the computer components, and PVC piping connects the cockpit to the wings. Accurate detailing was created using wood filler, wood strips, glues, paints, and caulking. The whole thing was painted, and the desktop surface (Plexiglas) was attached."
Now if only you could buy em, even if it was just the desk!
