Case modder crams PC into homegrown Team Fortress 2 sentry

We find it impossible to think that anyone in attendance of a local LAN party wouldn't be awestruck when this rig waltzed in, and truthfully, we'd be a little distracted by its boyish good looks all the while. TiTON -- the same mastermind that brought us the Team Fortress 2 Dispenser -- has recreated a TF2 sentry that (unfortunately) fires no real shells at enemies. On the upside, it does pack enough hardware to enable gamers to light up rebel forces within a digital realm, but just like your 16th birthday cake, this one may be too pretty to indulge in.

DAMN, that is the coolest case I've seen.

[Dillon @ Jul 14th 2008 10:03AM]

Wow, if I saw anyone with that at a LAN party I would just get up, take my computer, and walk home and be like "He wins..."

[Cornelius @ Jul 14th 2008 10:58AM]

Good luck getting in the door with that thing.

[riggs @ Jul 14th 2008 11:11AM]

Id doubt anyone would take a chance and try to stop him

Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer, that means I solve problems.

Not problems like 'What is beauty?', because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy.

I solve practical problems.

For instance...

...How am I going to fit some big mean mother hub-board into a sentry gun without tearing a structurally superfluous fan-hole?

[NHAnimator @ Jul 14th 2008 11:01AM]

Sounds like you want two.

[LaughingMan @ Jul 14th 2008 10:11AM]

I have this overwhelming urge to go up to it and whack it with a wrench.

[Flashpoint @ Jul 14th 2008 10:11AM]

good luck getting this through airport security.

[E71 @ Jul 14th 2008 10:12AM]

Newbies play TF2, old skool players play TFC.

[OfflinePK @ Jul 14th 2008 10:13AM]

Who plays Team Fortress 2?

[neofolklore @ Jul 14th 2008 10:13AM]

"good luck getting this through airport security."

DAMNIT FLASHPOINT BEAT ME TO IT

I just used the "crysis" meme in the article about the B2 Stealth Bomber getting upgraded to Pentium CPUs

[Rob @ Jul 14th 2008 10:16AM]

Would love to have a couple of these in my front lawn painted in camouflage green. Then, put a couple of motion sensors so it would light up and move when it detected someone/something around.

[sorensilk @ Jul 14th 2008 10:28AM]

"Sentry, going up!"

[Randy @ Jul 14th 2008 10:30AM]

Incredible! Kudos to the Creator(s). Does the turrent swivel? Between this and the Dispenser mod, it's hard to say which one is cooler. Next up: the Teleporter Display mod?

[Maeztro @ Jul 14th 2008 10:32AM]

I love me some sentry kills!

[Nikonov @ Jul 14th 2008 10:37AM]

No sapper jokes? I'm disappointed.

[r3loaded @ Jul 14th 2008 11:20AM]

Here's one, just thought it up on the spot:

"Spyware sappin' mah sentry!"

[Randy @ Jul 14th 2008 11:30AM]

/Machine Blue Screens.

Sentry Down!!!!

[natels @ Jul 14th 2008 10:44AM]

TFC will forever live as the best game I have ever played.. CSI4life

[SirWalksAlot @ Jul 14th 2008 10:59AM]

Pretty sure that's asbestos in the background... might wanna have that checked on.

[James Bowe @ Jul 14th 2008 11:01AM]

seems to me that he should spending his spare time sheet-rockin...

[Razor @ Jul 14th 2008 11:17AM]

Wow, talk about your old news. There's been a Youtube video of this thing for months now =P

[Tonnica @ Jul 14th 2008 11:29AM]

It is a thing of beauty. I'd almost feel bad sapping it.

...Almost.

Hmm, tap? I ain't surfin on a freaking iPhone.. Though I wouldn't mind doing so.

[r3loaded @ Jul 14th 2008 12:01PM]

I tapped on the read link as I am using a touchpad on my laptop (unfortunately).

[Mr. Fax Sender @ Jul 14th 2008 12:59PM]

Either this is another one, or this has been out for several months.

Way to not keep up with the times, Engadget.

[ShadowKain @ Jul 14th 2008 3:55PM]

Bliss...Love it!

[raymond causwell @ Jul 14th 2008 5:50PM]
