Chopper PC Case

Aesthetically, the Chopper PC is a stylish work of art with custom blue pearl paint and flames to top it off. The frame is constructed from one-inch steel tubing with motherboard located in the rear (on a slide out tray). Feature-wise, it's no slouch either, offering an AMD Athlon X2 4800+ dual core processor, 2GB of RAM, and two XFX Nvidia 7800GT graphics modules (running in SLI mode). Pricing and availability have not yet been announced. [Gizmodo]

Can I buck the trend here and just say: what a f**king monstrosity! They should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. Why not go the whole hog and put a pillion seat on top? It's no Mac Mini.

Thats an awesome looking case and now that I think about it, the tank can act as a resevoir for liquid cooling =D.

Hmmmmmm - yeah kinda looks cool. Oh, and the dude talking about cooling, I think that is EXACTLY what they did - see the blue pipes going everywhere???

It is water cooled. If you look at the video cards and the mobo, you can see the blue tubing that connects to the tank for what i suppose is the resevoir...Very nice case. Although it is more of a housing than a case because it is so open, lol

this is probably the nicest looking PC i have ever seen. The paint work is total eye candy. the specs are amazing, and if you've noticed the seat - wehey its a PC chair.

can be used as a resevoir? if look closer you'll see that it looks like it is being used as one if you look the pipe's from the tank goes to the CPU & graphic's and what look's like the HDD

why must have 2 Vga card?? isn't 1 is enough??..but the cooler system is so cool...

@ Farul... 1 Vga card is never enough (hence SLI and Crossfire) and @ Mark.... Mac Mini sucks ass just like all macs, even the mac os is shite (i recently put it on my laptop and it wasn't worth the effort)

What an ugly machine. I would rather spend my money on buying the hardware, and mod a Lian-Li case, it'd be a lot sexier. And there's two graphics cards, because it's an SLI system, idiot. I like the idea of the gas tank being the res for the water cooling system though.

PC chair...? Chances of me sitting on a computer that costs as much as a new car, more than likely = Zero.

I think the case looks great. But i agree that it also looks expensive, and computers are already expensive enough as it is.
