Too bad you can't really ride it anymore.

We all love a good case mod. Some of our favorite case mods involve things that weren't meant to hold computers in the first place, such as a pocketbike that can hit 110 km/h.

17-year-old "Saibot" from Canada took an old pocketbike and gutted it to accept a full Intel Core i7-based system. The impressive project took 12 days of work spread over five months.

Specs:

Corsair TX750watt PSU
Intel i7 920 d0 batch# 3845b260
Asus p6t
OCZ 6gb DDR3-1800 @ 8-8-8-26
XFX 8800 GTS (my 9800 gtx+ died)
1x WD 500gb HDD
1x Samsung 1tb HDD
Furry pocket bike
True120 + tricool
Lots of lights and led fans.

Check out his build in full detail here. (Yes, we know that this mod is from nearly a year ago, but true coolness is timeless.)

    Now he needs to replace the windshield with an LCD. A few moto racing games and this would be amazing.

    I thought that was a can of Mountain Dew at first and was going to comment that the guy is now double-geek cool.

    Zooming in it's Canada Dry Ginger Ale.

    Epic Fail.

    Sure you guys can laugh but I can tell you nothing beats the feel of 2.6 Ghz of raw multicore hyperthreaded power between your legs.

    His system's bottleneck is the muffler. And I wonder how his RAM timing interferes with his ignition timing:-/
