Shaping PCs?
Strange
...first look on how we may get computing done when we are better integrated?:-)
Visually it reminds me about one of my favorite movies of all time -- Ghost In The Shell
...
Anyway it is very
impressive work (picture on right is when OS was installed .. looks
likeWindowzebut hard to say ...) done by
guy in Japan and here
are specs: cool CPU:
VIA C3, MOBO VIA EPIA E-533,
RAM: 256MB, HD: FUJITSU MPG3409AT 40GB, DVD-ROM, and lots of POWER: whole 200W
:-)
It was also fun to read some forum comments about it - only geek can write something like
that to prove he is not geek ...: posted by ENDelt260:
While I did get a chuckle
out of looking at those pictures, I couldn't help thinking "Man, this is
kinda sad. Someone needs to get out of the house more."
Of course, when I started reading the replies, I realized just how wrong
I was. The patheticness of the responses to this thread makes the kind
of person who would make a woman-shaped computer seem relatively normal.
I can't believe there wasn't even one humorous pot-shot taken at the
creators of this case. The admiration of this creation seen here surely
amounts to the largest geek circle-jerk in the history of man. I guess
I should be more understanding. Perhaps the only way some of you can
get a woman hot is to make her out of paper mache and stuff an
overclocked cpu inside of her.
Best wishes to you gents. I'll be walking away from my boring,
black-box encased, computer now to go interact with people in the real
world (including women... complete with breasticles and everything).
Here's hoping your sweetheart doesn't melt down or catch fire during a
heated game of Doom.
and my impression was well captured in response posted by X:
The irony of ENDelt260's post is that far from come off as superior,
manly, and more mature than anyone on this thread ... he managed to do
just the opposite.
ENDelt260 you claim to wonder where the humorous responses are to this
work of art only because you are so numb or cynical or just plain stupid
that you overlook the obvious ... no one is seriously lamenting love for
the electronic enclosure ... they jest. Something you are not quite so
skilled at as you would like to believe. I suppose you would make the
same criticisms of all the greatest sculpters and painters in history.
I on the other hand am nearly certain that the Mona Lisa wasn't painted
because the guy couldn't get a DATE.
This case has no place being evaluated for practicality ... as it was
never intended to be so ... it's an anomoly, a purely creative venture.
It is art. My first instinct was not to question the creator's labido
because he sculpted a female form ... it was to admire his sculpture.
To admire his skills and his creativity ... as I certainly could never
craft such a thing simply because I lack the aptitude to chisel out such
a sculpture be it used as a computer or not.
The artist who made this case took sculpture and combined it with a
computer. Such a device would certainly not have nor should it be
judged for practicality. It is a singularity ... a creative work that
deserves admiration. It, and it's creator, certainly have mine.
The only person who clearly "needs to get out of the house more" is
ENDelt260 ... who's ego and self-worth appear to pivot around pathetic
attempts to feign social supremecy and demean others ANONYMOUSLY ON THE
INTERNET.

and this may be all off the tangent as the creator seems to do it fo
rmoney and this particular sculpture/pcmod was done to order ...
