Cygnus X1 is a Casemod with Class
PrintWhen a PC modder truly loves his or her work, it really shows. The result is capable of causing pangs of longing in any nerd’s heart, and even non-nerds will look on in awe. Such is the case with the Cygnus X1 casemod. This gorgeous piece of computer was built by one Attila Lukacs. The project was started in 2008, and was fully documented.
The wood paneling was carved out solid pieces of West Australian Jarrah, and each side piece weighs in at 10 pounds. The front and sides even fold out revealing the cold metal computer heart that beats within. You can check out the modder’s account of the build process and tons of images here.

I agree with mikeart03a. It looks incredible but the plastic contrasts witht he wood
It depends on what your definition of is "is"

I have done a fair amount of woodworking and PC building, and this case gives me something to aspire to. Very nice!

Would look very Right (lol) on the MAD MEN tv show. Or in the office interior decorated after MAD MEN's awesomeness.

Looks nice, save for the fugly beige part sticking out at the bottom. I would've atleast extended the bottom portion out and route out the portion where the ports are.
