Not sure if this is the right forum, but some one has built a PC into a model of the Millenium Falcon..

Have a look here (http://www.xkill.net/rcaslis/computers/Falcon-making/index.html)

Sounds quite cool to me...

I saw a nice set up in a mag or on the net ( i cant remember ) anyway it was about a guy who built his pc into an old arcade machine cabinet.

You see he was a retro game's freak and enjoyed playing all the oldies on \ off MAME " multi arcade machine emulator "

He even modified the control's on the cabinet so they hooked up to his pc. He could still use his pc for what it was intended but also had the REAL arcade feel when it came to his games.

Quite kool i thought :p

Agreed - mini-itx.com is excellent. Check out the PC built into a PSU, it's a seemingly empty case (well, except for the disco ball ) that runs Windows. Meh?

Of course, embedded systems manufacturers have been doing this sort of thing for years with PC104 (http://www.pc104.org/) boards - which are even smaller, and they stack.
