Another briefcase PC appears in the PCDB, from Tasmaniac. Asteroid has converted a clunky old PC into a cool DVD player and Tarrasque has a new clear PC. We've had a few new trends in modding over the last 6 months or so.. model-car PC's, suitcase PC's, clear PC's, hi-fi PC's.. kinda wonder what the next big thing will be. Maybe just plain beige boxes.. naah, too weird. :)
