The specs on this thing sucks but it looks cool as hell!!

• The inner back of the casing was covered in sheets of diamond plate, the frame is aluminum and the cover is a custom cut sheet of acrylic.
• • We left the bottom, top and both sides open for ventilation. We mounted 6 LED fans inside the casing blowing upwards (since heat rises).
• • We added 10 X 12" Blue Cathode light strips hidden behind the aluminum frame.
• • We originally had 6 Intel Pentium 4 processors on the motherboards, which were later updated to Intel Dual Core processors.
• • We excluded the PCI/AGP graphic cards and used the internal motherboard graphic processor to save space in the case. There were no need for extra strenght [sic] graphic processors anyways, simply processor speed and RAM.
• • We wall mounted a 15" LCD screen, along with a keyboard and track ball. We built the 8 port KVM switch into the wall (which also controlled our file server and phone server on the opposite side of the wall — our server room).

That's pretty cool. Seems like it would be fairly easy to make one too. But I'd have to use the same colored PCB on the Mobo's.

Yeah I'd shoot for six of the same boards, probably something all black knowing me and I'd definitely ditch the that little 15in monitor in favor of something bigger.

I agree. Black PCB's are sexy.

And I think a nice 60" LCD would look good on the wall next to it..

if you wanted it to be flashy like that, you might as well have gotten some DFI boards and used UV lights and make it "Bling" with a nice huge monitor.

Well I've now decided what I'm doing when I move out on my own. Though I always try to be more creative then from what I've seen, so I'll have to either put it on the ceiling or make them into a shape....a triangle perhaps....with yellow cathode strips and LEDs. Then have the screen in the middle. XD Each triangle will have 3 CPU's...so 9 in total. Each set of 3 will have a name. Farore, Nayru, and Din.

I'm such a Zelda loser XD
