In an age where computers can do almost anything, I don't know why I was surprised by the Scooterputer. The Scooterputer is a ride-able computer case built by case modder Stephen Popa.

Popa built the Rog-R, which is a computer case with tank treads and a remote control. The Scooterputer isn't nearly as intimidating as the Rog-R, but it is undeniably awesome and more useful. Check out the attached video to see the Scooterputer in action.
