Aug 23 2007Optimus Prime Computer Case
John Mangus, who will now be known as the coolest person in Pennsylvania, has built the ultimate Optimus Prime computer case. Over the course of a year John put 300+ hours into what will now be known as the baddest ass computer case ever. The picture above shows the computer in its desktop form, but follow the jump for Optimus in his full standing glory (6'10" and 125 lbs!). This reminds me of the full size Terminator case I built a few years ago. Except, well, this one is real and not just drawn on the back of a bar napkin.

the torso-only version looks so sad, though. Like he's being kept prisoner, and this dude is forcing him to be his PC.

Re.: tocky - you're absolutely right. I was thinking the same thing.
While the mod is absolutely awesome, he looks to pacified... Let's have a badass actionpost - maybe with a little robot on robot action, or at least let him wave around a wrench or something when the harddrive is in use.

For once not having any sort of a life at all is worth it!

Man, what is all this Optimus Prime fever all of a sudden?
Transformers suck bigtime.
And this guy should get his Optimus Prime mod thrusted up his rectum, in a most unnatural way.
This was fresh news... like 4 months ago.

ok first uruwai you are without merit.
there is no optimus prime fever ALL of A SUDDEN
there was always AUTOBOT FEVER ROLL OUT BEATCHS!!!!
and galvatron would totally open up a can of whoop ass on your depressed sad pathetic childhood for your non deviotion to the mecha of machinery gods that are the TRANSFORMERS.
and besides uruwai your just sad cause your rat nest of a mod has more virus's then a saigon hooker.

IT's too much....it's too awesome...
Now a gigantic asteroid is going to hit the earth because it messed up the cosmos for being so awesome. An event as grand as that can only restore the universe to equilibrium.

the only thing that would make this more epic is if it had been built by christopher walkin.
