How about a Great look into the past? This old but very stylish design became a project for a group of 5 young men in the great battle of creating the coolest computer chassi in our class, and not only did they succeed, they where the first ones finished, I was one of those men, one of the fighters for humanity and pride, our weapon of choice was a scary workshop and some outrageous tools.

I saw one where they made the giant controller, but instead of housing a PC, they used the buttons to play a nintendo game.
Though I'm not gonna lie, its just a box with computer components, and a nintendo label on top :p
Ill vote once I find out :).
I don't think I'd give a damn about watching DVDs with one of those in my front room as a HTPC hung on the wall behind my TV. Definately would be interesting to gauge reactions for one thing.
EDIT: OH, and if you want to see more of it, you may as well follow through the damned link. No system specs, but like I said, it's mostly a show PC.

Origional, and cool! Just need some more serious hardware in there now...
This is really a love it or hate it design, and I love it!!
The goal of the hardware in this box was that it should be able to show a nintendo emulator on the presentetation. And it did, so the project goal is meet:)
As sad in the main description, the goal was to build the coolest computer case in our class, not the best case for a computer to live in.
good idea! does it work?
This gallery is not to show off ZOMG LEET KOOL X ONE ELEVENTY BILLION RADEON
Its here to show skill in craftsmanship and artistic touches to a case.
Specs should be take in light consideration... like if its a celeron 400 in a high end window added lian-li.. but you should never deduct a significant portion because of a lower end system.
looked at the link and saw what went into making this case and decided it deserved more than the original 8/10 I had previously voted.
Look at it...IT'S A TEN!!!
Anyway back to rating, you must have put a lot of time and effort into getting that to the right scale, 10/10....
On the buttons i would use almost opaque mesh and add fans to them for intake, would improve cooling performance by a substantial amount. Try to get a water cooling kit and a high end system in it too :D
såg den på sweclockers ;) fyy va snyggt!!! 10/10!!!
A neat idea would be to put a small projector in it pointing out of the box, looks like there is enough room. The "Mobile Controller"
"That Nintendo runs on Microsoft!"
The idea to build in a projector in this box would be very cool i think. The box is very big to be just a computer case. (we had some goals and hardware given by the teacher and therefore the case is not 100% what it had been if we had a bigger budget and the opportunity to choose our hardware itself and project goals) Anyway, to do the best of the case it would be a very good idea,, and cool. But i'm think that is rather impossiblon now.. But hey, yall never now=)
News:
I'm planning to do a new project. (pics will come when it's started ofc.) The project of that is to build a webbserver in a NES game caset. I have already buy'd some hardware stuff like NSLU2 and a memory stick... 2Gb i think it was=)..
Thanks for the comments=)
