Blue this is a Case for you
CinematographHD

You caught a glimpse of William Urbina’s CinematographHD mod in the November 2008 issue of CPU, as part of our Nvision 2008 coverage. We liked it so much that we’ve decided to feature it here, in all its HD glory.

The mod’s name was inspired by a device called the cinematograph, a camera and projector invented in the 1890s. Urbina is serious about video editing and needed to build a serious video-editing machine. He wanted a video-editing monster that, while still very powerful, would be somewhat portable, as he travels frequently. So Urbina decided to build a system that could house two 22-inch LCDs, full-sized PC components, and a keyboard, and a mouse, all within one case. The case opens to display both monitors at once, and the only external connection is the plug for the power cord. The case’s aluminum diamond plate skin gives the PC a very rugged look.

Such a system required some serious building skills, but Urbina was up to the challenge. He’s a self-taught modder and welder and had plenty of room to work on his project in his parents’ garage. Urbina was able to finish most of the work in about a month. Unlike many modders, he didn’t need to write out elaborate sketches or take pages of notes to plan his mod. Urbina simply started cutting, welding, and building until the mod was done.

Inside that diamond plate skin, the PC consists of an Abit IP35Pro XD motherboard, an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU, 4GB of OCZ PC6400 RAM, a Radeon X1900 XTX video card, a Cooler Master GeminII with a pair of 120mm fans, five hard drives (four WD 400GB data drives in RAID 0 and a 160GB Seagate Windows drive), a pair of 22-inch monitors, a Lite-On Blu-ray burner, and a Logitech diNovo keyboard and mouse.

We’re pretty impressed with Urbina’s dual-monitor setup, and it’s clear he put a lot of work into building a custom frame for his PC. So, what’s next for this modder? Currently Urbina has no plans for another mod, as he’s done four already, although it’s possible that there’s a gaming rig in his future.

Now that's an incredible piece of work. :bow: I'm wondering if I could Mod an old microwave oven I have in the garage to look like that? :scratch: :grin:

Yeah, John, you could come close with something like an old microwave. One screen set inside and the other in the door. Or just one screen set inside. But that CinematographHD is an awesome rig, indeed. Abit board? Of course. :9: Chris.

I started looking around and It's really amazing what some people have come up with. You name it and someone has modded it. :D I wish I had the patience to do what some of these guys have done. The ones I like in particular in this grouping is the Star Wars Tie-Fighter Computer/Desk and the Green Tower top right corner.
