Case mod memory lane: Aircraft carrier

Why isn't case modding a popular hobby like it once was? Look at what you can achieve with an idea, some glue, a model kit and a low profile, low heat, fully integrated VIA embedded board:


The modder, Rus Caslis, explains:
"So I was walking around a toy store waiting for my wife to finish looking at the Barbie toys one day (before anyone asks, yes, she is more than eight years old and I love the fact that she is still into toys) and I saw this cool looking toy of the aircraft carrier Enterprise. I looked closer at it, and thought that it might be big enough to hold one of those great Mini-ITX motherboards from VIA. Since the toy was only $19.99, I decided to get it. Upon getting home, I ripped open the box and confirmed that the width of the toy at it's largest area was a little over 17cm wide. The Mini-ITX would be a tight fit, but it would work."
