Working Computers Housed In Pizza and Beer Boxes

by Terrence O'Brien on July 8, 2008 at 08:40 AM


The computer mod scene, an entire subculture of computer users who spend their time hacking apart and modifying their computers, has been thriving for years. The simplest mods involve changes like painting the cases or installing lights. Some very dedicated and tech-savvy fanatics, like Ben Heck, will build elaborate cases from scratch, sometimes from odd everyday items.

Take for instance this pair of cases from Ben Heck, which combine a geeky trifecta: beer, pizza, and computers. One is made from a Little Caesar's pizza box (grease and all), and the other is built from a golden case of Miller Genuine Draft. Both cases are hollowed-out boxes loaded with fully-functioning PC equipment (hard drive, CD player, RAM, processor, etc...). Although they might not be the sturdiest computer cases around, they're sure to be a great source for an endless stream of jokes riffing on "Pizza! Pizza!" and "The Champagne of Beers."
