Man turns GTA IV box into computer

May 22, 2008 in News comments 17

After not being able to pre-order GTA IV, Mark Harris had to buy a Special Edition of it, and now he is more happy than ever, because after having some free time, he decided that he could turn it into a computer case.

When you got your special edition copy of Grand Theft Auto IV, did you ever think 'Hey, that would make an awesome case for a PC?' No? Well, Mark Harris did. So there.

During a quiet spot at work, Harris took a miniITX system and saw the potential in its size. "Normally I don't see the point in buying limited / special editions of computer games," he told us, "as they come with items that you will find yourself throwing away after a while.

    it looks a bit crap at the minute, but it could become good if he worked more on it.

      I'm pretty sure it's finished. What else did you expect from it?

    It would be so much cooler if it had some GTA4 paintwork on it.

    Kinda looks like an old PS2 to me. I agree that it would look nicer with a bit of paintwork.

      Not to get PC, but "Japs" is derogatory >_>

      In any case, yeah, one of the first things I thought when I looked at it, was "Looks a bit like a PS2?"....

    I don't really see it has degradatory, it seems more a slang or shortened name than a insult. Like Aussie

    And the case looks more like a PS2 to me

      I know where you're coming from, but unfortunately, it is seen as derogatory.

      Stems from WWII I believe.

      tallteen86 is right here actually. Generally the term Jap is derogatory due to the fact it was more or less used in WW2. While it may not be intended that way by someone using it...it still is quite commonly seen as such, even slightly.

      Aussie on the other hand...that's perfectly fine.

    It also needs a new shade of paint...black is kinda plain IMO...

    It's amazing what people do if they have a little spare time on their hands, no?

    If you leave it black, it won't succumb as quickly to the elements of nature than a more varied palette.

    I for one think it looks great.
