Tech blog Engadget found this astonishing custom PC modifications which uses the 13″ Incredible Hulk action figure. The creator of this monstrosity, ‘deathstarchris’, talks about his 14-month creation and his inspiration.
I bought the action figure and put it on my desk and the more I stared at it, I thought “I bet I have enough distance to fir a MB inside his grasp. Did a lot of searching, and found an older intel board that did the trick. Micro ATX format. 8 & three quarter inches. Soon into the project I realized I would need more figures for parts. Ended up buying three.
A good chunk of my inspiration came from Dale Keown and the amazing way he transformed the way I saw The Hulk. The New Incredible Hulk #377′s cover is present in all the imagery I used. Keown took the raw imagery and made it clean and filed with presence. Dale changed my thinking of ‘traditional’ and all I can hope for is I can do some justice in the same arena.

COOLEST.PC.EVER.
What’s freaky about this thing–is that it’s micro ATX spec so it’d be easier to carry around and it would even free up space because of its smaller size.
As a guy who still has his childhood Incredible Hulk trashcan, color me green with envy.

Very nice and clearly a lot of hard work went into this PC mod. Also don’t be afraid to click onto the link. It’s not that resource intensive and takes very little time to load.

It’s called a courtesy. Not everyone has access to high speed internet, and not everyone has the best computer.

HMMMM….So, that’s why people buy action figures. I might have a new hobby.
