    Amazing Chopper PC Case Mod

    Now this is a computer case mod. The folks at Colorado-based Chopper Computers design cases that look like sexed up choppers, complete with custom paintjobs and, by the look of this photo, your very own motorcycle mama.

    It doesn't look like they've gotten past creating this single prototype, but I'm very intrigued. I'm also frightened at how much this bad boy might run you.

    The site walks you through the complete manufacturing process. The specs for both the innards and outtards of the chopper computer are on the jump along with a better, passenger-free, picture.
