    I have owned and operated PimpRig.com for well over 4 years now. This site focuses on PC hardware modification, news and reviews. I am a PC modder myself. For those that don't know; A PC modder is someone who makes a hobby out of tweaking and altering their PC in many different ways. These modifications can range anywhere from a simple paint job to a completely fabricated PC enclosure which doesn't look like a PC at all. Today, I want to share the latter with you.

    One of my members has been working on a custom built, life-size R2-D2 replica which has a very high end PC inside of it including a complete phase change system (special PC cooling setup which is more or less a mini freezing unit inside teh PC to freeze the PC CPU).

    Any Star Wars fan worth their salt should give this EXCELLENT project a peek.

    So would I! The phase-change cooler in it is worth about $1,000 all by itself. :)

    Very cool project!
    I got so engrossed in reading your work log that I forgot my dinner on the stove. :p
