Honorable Mention - LEGO

Created by Alex, this incredible LEGO computer case not only looks cool, but is fully-functional. Video after the jump.

Studs hold the motherboard together, Lego supporting beams hold up the PSU, and even the "slot screws" are Lego bushings

5. Pumpkin

A modder managed to cram a fully-functional PC inside this pumpkin. It features a 1.6-GHz Intel Penium M processor, 512MB of DDR2 memory, a DVD/RW drive, and lots of LED lighting. Instructions here.

The pumpkin modification started by hollowing out and drying the squash for the night. The next day, fans were stuck into the eyes with the grills screwed directly into the flesh. A Latitude D410 motherboard was then attached to a clipboard and shoved into the "case"

4. Unidyne

This "Shure Model 55 Unidyne microphone"-inspired case mod features a VIA M10000 motherboard w/1-GHz Nehemiah-core CPU, 512MB of memory, and a 40GB HDD. More information here.

These components are combined with a modified PCI slot exhaust fan and formed into a cartridge-styled unit that is separate and independent from the case. The cables are bound into a single unit to simulate a microphone cable. The computer took approximately six weeks to complete
