If your after something funky why not try lego?
I saw a Mac on E-bay recently made out of lego which looked ace, maybe a bit more bother than you want but it'd look cool

not that I would in anyway imply that you should break the law, but have you thought of making a metal case out of road signs?

well i tried an old nes last night but the board is a little too big, trying to get slackware on it now... but i need to find some more ram for it and a bigger hard drive.
yeah that mod is cool, it was on b3ta a while ago... there is also a g4 with a lcd screen in the front pannel (as an extra monitor) and a dentists chair style thing with pc attached which is really nice (some where in korea)

you can pick up a second hand fish tank for about a tenner. Rectangular like a real case, and see-through like all the modern, expensive cases.
then; paints (glass/ acrylic, whatever) or cartoons pasted on the inside, or plastic icicles (like the ones you get for the cristmas tree) stuck on to make it spiky, or action figures having a war over the circuit boards, or plastic fish hanging inside on string to make it look like a real fish tank, or...............
The optimist claims that we are living in the best of all possible worlds.
The pessimist fears this is true.

fill the fish tank with distilled water... removing any moving parts first, of course. that takes care of cooling, too.
Magnus... pay it forward
