That's the problem with any art, as soon as it leaves your hands it's also out of your control. But I think most of us here would like to see this go to a good home and hopefully see pics posted in the "Room + Computer" thread.
I thought this was pretty cool when I entered the contest, way back.
But after seeing the shots, and a glimpse on how it was constructed, the coolness factor just went up by a factor of 10.
Seriously, after seeing this, how can anyone ever settle for a plain "beige" case anymore? If your PC is not a giant Robot, then you simply aren't living!
Yup thats what the article said. If I win I will take pictures of the ACU in interesting cituations...you know, in the super market, in a club, me dry humping it, the usual!? That would be worth seeing no?! :D
But, I think that calling that thing a mod is a stretch. It's not the first time I've though it, seeing some pics of certain mods in this site, but without taking any merit of the awesome job GoTall has done and while recognizing his awesome talent, that thing is a sculpture (only one that happens to house a PC inside).
Still, just a personal opinion...as I said mod or no mod, it's certainly awesome ;)
Absolutely awesome, amazing attention to detail, must have taken forever to get the dimensions spot on like that
Even if I don't win, I think this whole competition and log has inspired me to create my next PC within a character casing, most definately an excellent talking point
(Also, I know what you mean about those DIY stores, when I was converting our loft space I was in and out of the local hardware like six times a day, got some funny looks :) )
Just awesome work, this this is a work of art not a Mod, and would look quite at home in the Tate Modern, in fact i bet a whole lot less work went into the installations there!!! One things for sure... It would scare the be-jebus out of the Landlady :D
How are you going to turn it on? You should put the button at the end of one of the guns so you can tell your friends "Just put your hand up the end of that cannon" :D
Wow that is one impressive build! Do you really think that the polyestor needed to be that thick? 1cm? I would say 3mm would have been plenty! That thing could hold a ton! Outstanding workmanship though!
i was search 8800GTX SLI with the Bit-tech Search engine and I though I was really lucky when I found this write up. I was like, "Man they haven't posted this on the homepage yet so I must be the first one to see this."......I was wrong. Must have gotten posted a while ago lol

I'd opt for a remote, so you can scare your friends... "If I press the other button on this remote he will rip you apart" (and it would be awesome if the button really worked :D )

Now I think I'll enter the competition after seeing this...

Did he weigh 50KG too?
