We don't know if this guy got his box running GLaDOS, but it sure as hell looks like standard issue Aperture Science, if you ask us. We'd like to see it running Portal though -- only that would be recursive enough for our tastes.
ya there is cake when you die in the fernous your burnt corps gets mixed with bater to be baked into cake i know this because she said after the test you will be baked and there will be cake
Saw this posted today. Thanks for all the great comments. I have enough pipe leftover from this case mod to do just one more. Email me if you are interested and I can build you one. Really was not that hard. willsonman(at)gmail
Awesome! I got this idea when I first saw the computers in level 19! Sorry if I spoiled it for anyone, you see these in level 19. If you haven't gotten that far, shame on you :)

So where is the cake?
octoberasian @ Mar 11th 2008 6:13AM
... it never existed...
*starts mumbling to himself...
... cake is a lie...
... cake is a lie...
... cake is a...*
... it was never there...

Look at the thread, he posts a picture of a portal cake too.
Thomas @ Mar 11th 2008 1:25PM
I have to admit, it looks delicious and moist.
Makalu @ Mar 11th 2008 10:09PM
God, I need to play Portal. I'm tired of hearing "The cake is a lie!" and not having heard it myself.

For a second i though it was a new type of computer.
Its not even running Linux!
paradigmsick @ Mar 11th 2008 6:41AM
cake is a lie
BorisBorf @ Mar 11th 2008 6:49AM
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction...
Taylor @ Mar 11th 2008 6:56AM
I wonder if it's very noisy. The guy said he's using it as a HTPC.
Looks great though.
Marcus Chaloner @ Mar 11th 2008 7:11AM
i'm still alive
Kizorblade @ Mar 11th 2008 7:11AM
That is one great looking computer. I want one.
The cake is still a lie.
Jagannath A @ Mar 11th 2008 7:14AM
HUGE SUCCESS
PJK @ Mar 11th 2008 7:21AM
< Insert repetitive Portal meme here. >
.....I do love Portal , and that case is gorgeous.
Eric M. @ Mar 11th 2008 7:31AM
It maybe the fact that I just woke up, but for some reason it looks a lot like the 360 HD DVD addon drive, anyone else that feeling?
rav97 @ Mar 11th 2008 8:47AM
The 360 HD-DVD add-on is dead, and this is still alive.
Amir @ Mar 11th 2008 9:02AM
Yes, that and the cake is still a lie.
Will @ Mar 11th 2008 9:02AM
This was a triumph. I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
Curtis the Claw: Brawl Code 1075-0441-3284 @ Mar 11th 2008 5:44PM
Unfortunatly your comment wasn't a huge success.
james @ Mar 12th 2008 7:50PM
nice i heard that on jonathan coulton's song still alive!
Geir E @ Mar 11th 2008 9:21AM
I don't know what to say.
First, it is a casemod from a pc game.
Second, he did it cause his pregnant wife liked the look of it.
Geek romance?
johnzilla @ Mar 11th 2008 9:28AM
I don't get it.
Robbo @ Mar 11th 2008 9:39AM
He did what he must because he could.
Jack @ Mar 11th 2008 9:45AM
for the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead...
Chris Macdonald @ Mar 11th 2008 10:40AM
but there's no sense crying over every mistake
Paul @ Mar 11th 2008 12:35PM
You just keep on trying until you run out of cake!
wootman @ Mar 11th 2008 1:21PM
and the casemod gets done...
Timerider @ Mar 11th 2008 2:13PM
...and you make a neat gun...
David @ Mar 11th 2008 3:51PM
for the people who are still alive....
mopo @ Mar 12th 2008 9:47PM
C-C-C-COMBO BREAKERRRRRR
Ty @ Mar 11th 2008 9:45AM
Vista. It's running Vista.
Bullitt @ Mar 11th 2008 10:23AM
Yeah, the worst part of the computer. Give me XP SP3 when it comes out with a half-life skin, then I'll get one.
tylertheDEADTIGER!!!!! @ Mar 11th 2008 10:42AM
you just keep on trying 'til you run out of cake
joe @ Mar 11th 2008 10:50AM
i have the urge to get a few of these computers, stack them up, and crawl through a vent.
QUOW @ Mar 11th 2008 11:01AM
The keyboard spells out "Hard Penis"
AlphaTeam @ Mar 11th 2008 11:46AM
LOL
Will @ Mar 11th 2008 11:56AM
Heh...
Actually, did you know that the keyboard is an easter egg? It was added after some rumors started on the 'net before the game's release.
Mikee @ Mar 11th 2008 12:12PM
I'm surprised Valve hasn't made any Aperture PC cases for sale.
Timerider @ Mar 11th 2008 2:22PM
They should make Aperture cases. That would be awesome.
michaelportent @ Mar 11th 2008 1:29PM
Was I the only one who tried to press down one of the door buttons with the in-game PC cases?
Ken @ Mar 11th 2008 1:32PM
Needs to use the new Intel Skulltrain board and running some cryptic form of Linux.
mopo @ Mar 12th 2008 9:49PM
Skulltrail*
Ken @ Mar 12th 2008 9:53PM
My bad.
Timerider @ Mar 11th 2008 2:20PM
SWEET! When the companion cube came out i said "now someone needs to make an Aperture PC". I want one badly, and I use Macs.
Jesse S @ Mar 11th 2008 3:19PM
I would pay like $500 for one of these cases, with a matching IBM Model M and G5.
dustandechoes91 @ Mar 11th 2008 3:42PM
cook beans on the heatsink!
zapperdude60 @ Mar 11th 2008 5:34PM
The minute i saw the computer in portal I knew someone would make a mod out of it. Props to whoever did it.
