Feast your eyes on this lovely hand-carved wooden case mod called Erecura from Espie-Whitburn design.
This hand carved computer case is based on the Celtic Goddess Erecura – Goddess of the Earth. Each panel has been detailed using a modern interpretation of Celtic knotwork. This is more than a functioning computer, it is a work of Art that is truely unique.
It’s for sale for $1900. I wonder if they have a smaller one that would keep the cat hair out of my Mac Mini. Link

Ben Lzicar turned an old beer keg into a PC case. Conveniently, it comes with a bottle opener. Inconveniently, it does not come with beer. You can view many photos at Lzicar’s Facebook page, or a select few at Legit Reviews forums.

Instructables user kirkfrog made YaHookah! — the computer that you can smoke. It’s an old CPU box turned into a functional hookah. The tank is acrylic, and the bubbles are provided by an aquarium air pump. DIY instructions at the link.
Tim Quax of ByteMods combined a PC with a coffeemaker to make this Coffee PC case mod. Best of all, the coffeemaker is controlled by software:
The relay gets it’s power from a molex connector on the power supply; a small amount however, just enough to not flip the relay. Second connection to the relay is a cable to the COM port on the PC. Thirdly, the relay is hooked up to the power cable to the PSU that powers the coffee maker. I wrote a script in Visual Basic Scripting, that uses a module to enable the COM port on the PC. The power on the COM connection is enough to flip over the relay, thus giving the coffee maker it’s much needed power, which makes the coffee maker do it’s thing. The script enables the PC to make coffee with the push of a button!

Behold the glowing, ember-filled furnace steampunk mouse that would look
perfectly in place next to Babbage’s Analytical Engine (what’s that?). As if this mouse isn’t cool (hot?) enough, the maker just created v2.0: the twin furnace mouse!
