The Leela case mod

We don't cover that many case mods 'round here, but once in a while one comes along that's just impossible for us to ignore. After completing his Bender case last year, would-be Zapp Brannigan here decided to tackle a member of the Futurama crew a little closer to his heart for his next project, crafting this likeness of Leela out of nothing more than a store mannequin and pressure foam. Like the best case mods, it also incorporates some added functionality with Leela's eye serving as a webcam, LCD displays fitted into her arm bands, and a removable thumb that doubles as a literal thumb drive (we must have missed that episode). Alright, now who's gonna be the first to put Richard Nixon's head on their desk?

Um, that is the single most disturbing thing I have -ever- seen. I'm going to go have a drink and huddle in the corner until the image of this leaves my mind.

@Matthew

That better be Slurm you're drinking.

[jack @ Aug 10th 2006 11:07PM]

i don't recall leela being that ugly

[VQH @ Aug 10th 2006 11:23PM]

I agree. Very disturbing mod. I hope he uses it only as computer case and nothing more.

[Edward @ Aug 10th 2006 11:35PM]

yeah, that's way creepy.

i hope he's not putting things other than computer parts in it as well.



and why'd he do it that way? i would've made it out of paper mache but i dunno.. that's just me.

Dude needs a girlfriend. Check that a REAL girlfriend.

[John @ Aug 10th 2006 11:57PM]

Working "thumb" drive and eyeball webcam?

Do any other, uh... other parts... you know... ?

[LMM @ Aug 11th 2006 12:13AM]

CORNY JOKE ALERT!

At least Nixon's head would be water cooled.

[mastershake916 @ Aug 11th 2006 1:39AM]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that's disturbed, not saying it isn't cool.
I preferred the bender case mod, liked the metal work.

[Ex505 @ Aug 11th 2006 1:44AM]

I would so have a Nixon Head.

[Meltz @ Aug 11th 2006 2:13AM]

hey, im actually watching futurama while writing this!!

[Eric @ Aug 11th 2006 2:17AM]

I know where he hides the DVD rom...
it must be Apple like too.

[Erik @ Aug 11th 2006 4:07AM]

You gotta love how on the Tux casemod, hes running windows :D

[Kenundrum @ Aug 11th 2006 6:56AM]

Even if she's totally creepy looking- she's got a nice rack! Put a woot Bag o' Crap on her head and all is good.

[joe @ Aug 11th 2006 7:12AM]

She's still a mutant though!!

Let's banish her back to old New York (she looks way too freaky!!)

[Simon @ Aug 11th 2006 8:00AM]

Thanks Engadget, that's going to replace the clown in my nightmares.

[ED @ Aug 11th 2006 8:41AM]

I, for one, welcome... actually, I don't welcome this at all!

[Leif @ Aug 11th 2006 9:12AM]

Weird part about this is, he actually got company sponsors. What kind of company takes a guy into their office who's ranting and raving about building a case mod out of a female cartoon character and actually gives him money to do it? (Come to think of it, they were probably paying him to leave)

[Haku @ Aug 11th 2006 10:11AM]

That's so disturbing, I actually came out of lurk mode just to comment how disturbing it is.

I mean, look at that guy and his poo-eating grin as he's holding the case mod. A case mod for crying out loud!

The comments here are hilarious though.

[Galley @ Aug 11th 2006 10:11AM]

The real Leela has a much better rack than this poor imitation.

[Tyler @ Aug 11th 2006 10:45AM]

he screwed up the face

the bent knees are a indication of the horrible horrible things he does to this unanimated object

I have a feeling this is a real doll with a bit of modifications

[tristanfey @ Aug 11th 2006 3:45PM]

I'm not sure why everyone is all creeped out about this. I mean if this was the only case he has made (or all his cases were life-sized females), then I can see people wondering about him. But he did a Bender case before this one. He apparently likes the show and most likely is going to make the rest of the cast as well.

[Perrey Z. @ Aug 11th 2006 7:58PM]

Damn! that's one ugly cyclop-bitch! still nothing a doggy bag can cover while doing "it".

[GhostDoggy @ Aug 12th 2006 11:12AM]

So, does he get jiggy with her?
