A nasty, dirty toilet showing a bowl full of... hardware! This ToiletPC case mod was built back in 2001 for the QuakeCon 2001 case competition. According to its creator, Envador, it didn't place because there wasn't a category fit for its unusual design. Still, it's interesting. All that seems to be missing is the stench (that's assumed) and a roll of toilet paper. Envador said the toilet is actually a kid's potty he bought from Wal-Mart for $9.00. The flusher is the rig's power switch and most of the hardware (including the floppy, CD-ROM, and a 45 GB hard drive) is mounted on the back."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/wpt/auto/1282047466.usr11334.jpg" style="border: #d2d2bb 1px solid;" /></p><p>I love looking at case mods; some are incredibly well designed, creative and unique. Take this toilet case, for example, the first one listed in this Toms Hardware picture story of many. First impressions are "Ewwwwww!!" but when you actually see past the fact it's not really a toilet but a case designed to attract attention, then you can appreciate the thought and effort that went in to it. It even has a green LED that glows and gives the impression that the bowl is filled with hazardous biological waste, as well as a working flush handle that turns the PC on and off. Admittedly, this would never fit in the living room as an HTPC, but there are potentially many things that would. Have you ever done a case mod? We'd like to see your pictures if you have.</p>
