Bill "Overkill Bill" Owen from Mnpctech walked away a winner in Nvidia's Ion case mod contest announced a few months back. The contest tasked 5 professional case modders with building a "revolutionary Ion-based PC" out of an Zotac Ion ITX 330 motherboard containing an Nvidia Ion GPU and an Intel Atom dual-core CPU, along with $500 for any additional PC parts.
Owen's winning entry came in the form of a wild looking green cube consisting of hundreds of hours of labor and a whole lot of CNC milled sheets of aluminum and laser-cut acrylic.
Full system specs can be found here, but it's the worklog and plethora of pictures that are the real treat, and you can view it all right here.

I always loved the Mod of the Month, but knew there were just never enough modders out there to get a new one every month. Maybe it could be an annual article and include the top 5 mod's of the year with better then $500 prize. I always laughed hearing these guys pour thousands into a case mod, let alone the hundreds of hours carving a bamboo case LOL, all for enough to pay for the gas to the home depot.
