Wall-E case mod is chock full of adorableness, win

Just look into those cute, bubbly eyes and tell us that you'd still rather keep your plain-jane tower if offered this instead. We know, you can't. While we've seen a number of Wall-E mods over the months, we've never seen anything close to this in terms of sheer incredibleness. So far as we can tell, this robotic PC even opens up his own optical drive, and he can also send out love letters to one "Eeeevvvaaaaa" without human intervention. A thing of beauty, no?

[Thanks, Doug]

But he was an oldschool mac, not a pc

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 8th 2009 11:17PM]

Please tell me there's a webcam in at least one of those eyes.

[Torch Posted Apr 9th 2009 12:32AM]

So Wall-E can watch you jack off?

[maveric101 Posted Apr 9th 2009 12:42AM]

sorry, doesn't look like it. that would've been genius.

[SirFenwick Posted Apr 8th 2009 11:22PM]

Thats fraking awesome. I'd love to have something like that.

[TurboTalon Posted Apr 9th 2009 3:31AM]

Me too! I wonder what this guy's job is... he should be making props in Hollywood!

[Bkm72 Posted Apr 9th 2009 2:23PM]

The craftsmanship in that thing is unbelievable...

My full tower weighs in at about 25lbs. With all that machined aluminum I'm curious how much it weighs.

[doubleofive Posted Apr 10th 2009 10:39AM]

I wonder if he makes the Apple chime startup noise :)

I can no longer turn on my MacBook without thinking of WALL•E :D

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 8th 2009 11:23PM]

Definitely full of win. I'd want a smaller, non-casemod version programmable via USB... basically more than a plastic toy sold by Disney (think http://www.plen.jp/). I'd pay over 1k for something like that.

Yes I'm a gadget-geek.

you've come to the right website.

[dayneoram Posted Apr 9th 2009 2:59PM]

you're a gadget geek?
join the club. there's no queue for it in cyberspace!

[Willis88 Posted Apr 8th 2009 11:23PM]

That's some amazing detail.

[kestep434 Posted Apr 8th 2009 11:24PM]

That is really cool.

[rclightboy197 Posted Apr 8th 2009 11:25PM]

awww that thing is so cute! do want!

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 8th 2009 11:30PM]

I would pay almost any amount of money for that.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 8th 2009 11:32PM]

that was really amazing, he made everything.... like even the lenses for the eyes..... That guy has an amazing gift.
My hat's off to him.

[M C Posted Apr 9th 2009 12:45AM]

I agree. He cut absolutely everything out of blocks or sheets of aluminum. It seems like it would have taken over a hundred hours. His dedication to precision and quality really is amazing.

[NeoteriX Posted Apr 8th 2009 11:36PM]

...If you ever wondered why the Soviet engineering was such a threat during the Cold War, you now have your answer.

[M C Posted Apr 9th 2009 12:46AM]

hahaha. He's got ridiculous skills

[HDx264 Posted Apr 8th 2009 11:37PM]

can we stop saying 'win' after everything. it's annoying.

[Eternal Density Posted Apr 8th 2009 11:39PM]

But win is a word chock full of awesomeness, win.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 8th 2009 11:37PM]

garbage

[MVP Posted Apr 9th 2009 10:12AM]

....is what Wall-E was cleaning up for us.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 10th 2009 11:41PM]

I'm just hoping that was a simple joke about WALL-E's job...

[PoisonWolf Posted Apr 9th 2009 12:54AM]

You're a waste of molecular space. Go do everyone a favor and off yourself. The decomposition of your body will provide much more use to fungus and wildlife than your very existence as it stands.

[Hanfwurst Posted Apr 9th 2009 3:50AM]

I don't think this is garbage. I really like this case, it's amazing!

But I do think that PoisonWolf's comment is garbage since it's totally disrespectful.

[mrotier Posted Apr 9th 2009 12:06PM]

i think GB's sense of humor is garbage

[adonissj Posted Apr 8th 2009 11:41PM]

Cool!

[jonnyl Posted Apr 8th 2009 11:44PM]

Funny, the movie led me to believe Wall-E is Mac-powered. ...

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 9th 2009 12:17AM]

That is what I was thinking. Since Pixar was started by Steve Jobs, and he is a current board member, this makes me believe it more (that and the apple sound when Wall-E get turned on...). On the other hand this thing is beautiful, and you can always add the mac boot up sound to it.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 9th 2009 12:42AM]

Jony Ive helped Pixar design Eve. http://money.cnn.com/2008/05/09/technology/siklos_walle.fortune/index.htm (CNN should really learn how to get names right)

[rclightboy197 Posted Apr 9th 2009 12:55AM]

@johnwesleyharding

wow, comment is so full of fail

for the last time, Pixar was NOT started by Steve Jobs. It was started by Lucasfilm with the hiring of Dr. Ed Catmull and had years and years of existence before Steve Jobs bought the company

[Peytral Posted Apr 9th 2009 1:56AM]

Actually if you really watched the movie...wall-e does boot up with a mac sound.

[mrotier Posted Apr 9th 2009 12:07PM]

if wall-e is a mac, then wheres the light confirming hes off?

[weeliano Posted Apr 8th 2009 11:50PM]

Incredible piece of metal worksmanship! I like the that towards the end of the build, he decided to enlarge the eyes of WALL.E as it looked smaller than the original WALL.E. Brilliant craftsmanship!

[blackacex222 Posted Apr 8th 2009 11:52PM]

Well... I just bought a Wall-E action figure at the disney store. And I really want the remote control EVA.

This would go with it pretty well.... =)

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 8th 2009 11:58PM]

Without a doubt that is the most amazing and detailed case mod I have seen in years. The guy kept renders and measured out each piece. It's enough to make any animator/machinist/geek proud. Kudos dude, Kudos.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 9th 2009 12:06AM]

WE NEED VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 9th 2009 12:08AM]

Does it sound like a Mac when it boots?

[nikster Posted Apr 9th 2009 2:22AM]

It'd need to to be complete. Given the amount of effort and love put into this I would not be surprised at all.

[polvadis Posted Apr 9th 2009 2:34AM]

I laughed so hard I cried when I heard that Wall-E starts to the Mac boot up sound. Simply genius.

[DirtySocks85 Posted Apr 9th 2009 12:12AM]

Drop Mac guts in that case (for the start-up chime if nothing else) and it would be the best computer ever. Very cool case mod!

[FireWolf Posted Apr 9th 2009 12:51AM]

When this case mod starts to twitter, then I will VC mass production

[gundamboy Posted Apr 9th 2009 12:55AM]

chunk it into a change room, and we're good to go!

[wehdat Posted Apr 9th 2009 1:02AM]

Well, I for one am beyond impressed, especially after clicking through the creation process.

[ijakdo Posted Apr 9th 2009 1:37AM]

do people really win here?

[mikeee Posted Apr 9th 2009 1:42AM]

Game cube NEVER looked smarter!!!!

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 9th 2009 2:23AM]

So he made one of the best looking cases I've ever seen, but uses the most ugly monitor with it. (See last page)
