Nip 'n Tuck: PC 90210

Sangaku: The World's Most Beautiful CaseSo you've just finished designing the interior of your new apartment and it's exactly how you've dreamed, but that old PC case stands out like a sore thumb.

But there's no place like home, and your computer is personal... so shouldn't your PC be unique as well?

Nowadays home users demand a much more attractive and streamlined aesthetic to their desktop or laptop computers, and this need has been addressed by manufacturers as PC cases are being provided with many more accessories, and laptops are becoming somewhat of fancy fashion accessories in their own right (See: Vaio UX Series Micro PC and Apple MacBooks).

The accessories commonly available to individuals wanting to personalize the look of their bland old PC case are mostly intended for the teenage / PC aficionado demographic, and many of the "Rigs", as modified PC's are called, look more like suped up Asian imports taken right out of Hollywood blockbuster Fast & Furious.

Neon lights and see-through cases may not appeal to the home user wanting to make their computer a feature that seamlessly fits with their furniture; and while the Mac has accomplished that with its classy, modern and sophisticated look, it is a common sight.

So, what to do? Head over to ModShop.

ModShop is a site where the best customized PC cases, with design styles ranging from Industrial Design to Art Deco, are showcased and pitted against one another in a competition to determine the ultimate PC housing unit. While these "battles" are harmless, the quality of work produced is impressive and the sheer detail and creativity on display will keep you browsing through the hundreds of models on show.

One such model is the utterly stunning Sangaku case inspired by traditional Japanese architectural aesthetic; in particular "Shoji" sliding doors... the results are astounding. And they should be: developed over a period of 9 months, by a North Carolina student of Architecture, and consisting of approximately 130 wood joints, the work of art is an awe inspiring display of master craftsmanship and immeasurable attention to detail.

So, get inspired and start building your dream "Rig".
