At the Kotaku West Coast annex, there's almost a constant connection to a Team Fortress 2 server. That goes a long way to changing our thought process when watching clips of an impressive custom-modded PC from "What are these people doing with their lives, time and money?" to "Stunning. The person responsible is an artisan of the highest caliber." Kudos to them. Thanks for the heads up, Tom.

Damn that would look good in my living room.
but it doesn't fire :(
Epic. Do want.
NOBODY MOVE! THIS THING'S GOT ENOUGH RAAM TO TURN US ALL INTO SWISS CHEESE!!
i would so want a mini version of that, for a media center /nerd
I wonder how the cooling is for the GPU in that canister.
We're sorry, this video is no longer available.
:(
I'd like one modded as a Pyro Flamethrower. All the parts can be kept in the gas tank, and fans can blow the air out of the front, where it will have some sort of fire colored strings blowing with orange LED's glimmering behind it.
that is wicked awesome
Looks sick, but it should at least taze you.
This looked great :)
I still play this game almost everyday on my PC, I just hope they release a fix soon, demoman is too OP, spy has it too hard in any game with FF turned off, which is all games basically, and I welcome the changes hoping that medic will be more fun :)
Also, the soldier class needs some love, mmm
This mod is dangerous and inconvienent, but I do love TF2
Very nice work, hope it's actually practical as well.
Beautiful, simply beautiful.
But can it play Crysis?

that's a worklog on the build process.
That looks awesome bit if my girlfriend ever saw that she would think I've gone overboard with the game
How many Team Fortress 2 Sentry Gun Case Mods have you actually seen?
Ohohoho.
WANT! If only I were capable of such a masterpiece!
Sweet. I've been trying to figure out a way to invite Homeland Security over for a LAN party.
The manner in which the integrated needed cabling into the design does indeed elevate this to art.
Wow.
The things people create sometimes are simply astonishing.
Amazing, but looks like it would be an inconvenience to carry around.
...wooow. I kinda want one, as much for how well its made as for its ultimate nerddom.
Seriously, that's impressive.
@Dudemeister: Yeah, but even that would just give you another reason to brag to your friends: "Hey, you know how I have that AWESOME TF2 Sentry Gun Computer? Yeah, it's so awesome I can't move it by myself. Could you come over here and help me get it in my car? It's like practice for when YOU get on... O RITE"
that's the nerdiest thing I've seen all day. KUDOS!
"The person responsible is an artisan of the highest caliber."
Sentry puns, hilarious!
@tehblacksheep234: *feels dumb for not catching that*
It's all fun and games till someone calls SWAT after glimpsing it through a window.
Seriously though, if I had the skill and time to get into the whole case mod deal, I would SO make a Portal turret case, complete with the audio (i.e., when put into stand-by, "Are you still there?"). If only...
@kelptocratic: I want a CC case mode.
Although Id assume that thing would only be good for being a server. ;D
It's the Automated Workstation Exceptional System Office Machine Extra. Aka A.W.E.S.O.M.E.
Insert complimentary sapper comment here.
A spy's zappin my quadcore!
I'm severely disappointed that this was not an actual live-firing turret. I'd love to have one of those guarding my home from those pesky Reds. Greens and Yellows are welcome for house parties though.
That was ridiculously awesome.
Makes me want to attempt a GLADOS case mod...
God damn, someone needs to get laid.
@WhoreofSpamylon:
and with a computer case like that who wouldnt sex him.......damn nerds get all the tang.....
@WhoreofSpamylon: God damn, No one has heard that before...
404 errors cause instant exploding death
Spy sappin mah computer!
@Dudemeister: "Amazing, but looks like it would be an inconvenience to carry around."
How's that so? You only have to carry a tool case in front of you, drop it in desired place, and wait for your computer to assemble itself automagically!
Looks like I now have a reason to stand on my computer with a shotgun. NOW PEOPLE WILL UNDERSTAND!
I'd sap that.
insane
dude... that's friggen awesome... now only if it moved...
"Tom"? I submitted that two days ago. ;_;
But yeah, it really is excellent, and because of all the requests in his steam thread, he's considering making a dispenser monitor to go with it. ^_^
@epionx111: pssh! if only it shot...
"Hey Bob can I use your computer?"
"Yeah, just be careful; its got a hare-trigger"
"Haha (boom)"
"I warned you."
That is gawgeous and I do, in fact, want.
...best case mod EVER.
"Spy's sapping my Sentry!!!"
I am not worthy.
Just think, if someone uses a virus to slow down your computer you can tell people that the spies were sappin your sentry.
TiToN / SAD is awesome, nice to see Kotatku reppin IRONMODS.
@DaMainman: Win. Best sapping joke on the thread.
The amazingness of that mod completely outweighs the impracticality of it all. I'm in love.
That would look soooo good in my living room!
Awesome. Though it wouldn't be as interesting, I'm surprised they didn't make it a dispenser. Seems like a much more fitting shape!
That thing is fantastic! I wonder what he had to do to "mod" the parts into the ammo cannister...
