More whacky than a whacky thing being whacked
Of course, any CeBIT 2007 coverage wouldn’t be complete without a stroll around the case modding finalists and the systems they’ve got on display.
Just like last year, we’ve got a full range of weird and wonderful mods, ranging from the unrecognisable with Fake Cake through to the more subtle ‘alternative to a standard case’ with Twins.
Anyway, enough of my waffle, let’s have a look at this year’s finalists:
First up is ‘Walker’, obviously inspired by Mechwarrior or games of that ilk. This was created by Stefan Blass, took 150 hours to build and cost €500.
