The trusty old desktop rarely gets the love it deserves these days. Losing gamers to consoles (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/npd-wii-leads-video-game-industry-to-biggest-sales-month-ever/) and casual users to laptops (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/worldwide-pc-shipments-up-slightly-in-2009-is-an-even-more-de/), it's left only with a loyal band of enthusiasts, but what a gorgeous bunch they are. Gary from the Bit-tech forums has put together the above case mod, inspired by the styles of early 20th century electronics, and reminded us all that big can be beautiful. He's managed to fit an entire water cooling setup inside, while leaving no detail undocumented in a thorough, pic-heavy walkthrough of the project. We'd have considered the stunning wooden case enough by itself, but Gary has taken care of the little touches as well, as exemplified by the spare PCI slot covers matching the external construction. Hit the source link for images of the build and the insides laid bare.Zenith 5-S-29 radio case mod explained in excellent, water-cooled detail (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/zenith-5-s-29-radio-case-mod-explained-in-excellent-water-coole/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Mon, 08 Feb 2010 08:10:00 EST.
