Case mods are cool and all, but I am really loving the stripped-down Hammerhead HMR989. The Hammerhead HMR989 is a desktop computer that axes the case to show off all the glorious components that comprise this kickass computer.
The best part about a computer not having a case is that it is a lot easier to modify and repair. The Hammerhead HMR989 is a limited-edition; only a few individually-numbered computers will be made. All of this awesomeness runs $2,900, so casual computers need not apply.
