So where is the cake?
... 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.
I have to admit, it looks delicious and moist.
God, I need to play Portal. I'm tired of hearing "The cake is a lie!" and not having heard it myself.
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
For a second i though it was a new type of computer.
Its not even running Linux!
cake is a lie
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction...
I wonder if it's very noisy. The guy said he's using it as a HTPC.
Looks great though.
i'm still alive
That is one great looking computer. I want one.
The cake is still a lie.
HUGE SUCCESS
< Insert repetitive Portal meme here. >
.....I do love Portal , and that case is gorgeous.
cook beans on the heatsink!
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?
The 360 HD-DVD add-on is dead, and this is still alive.
Yes, that and the cake is still a lie.
This was a triumph. I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
Unfortunatly your comment wasn't a huge success.
nice i heard that on jonathan coulton's song still alive!
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?
I don't get it.
He did what he must because he could.
for the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead...
but there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying until you run out of cake!
and the casemod gets done...
...and you make a neat gun...
for the people who are still alive....
C-C-C-COMBO BREAKERRRRRR
Vista. It's running Vista.
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.
you just keep on trying 'til you run out of cake
i have the urge to get a few of these computers, stack them up, and crawl through a vent.
The keyboard spells out "Hard Penis"
LOL
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.
I'm surprised Valve hasn't made any Aperture PC cases for sale.
They should make Aperture cases. That would be awesome.
Was I the only one who tried to press down one of the door buttons with the in-game PC cases?
Needs to use the new Intel Skulltrain board and running some cryptic form of Linux.
Skulltrail*
My bad.
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.
I would pay like $500 for one of these cases, with a matching IBM Model M and G5.
much easier and tastier: http://suzie.org/?q=node/29
The minute i saw the computer in portal I knew someone would make a mod out of it. Props to whoever did it.
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 :)
