Photos: LovePC warms the heart
Image 1 of 11
Dean Liou, a database and computer network consultant by day, designs PC concept cases in his spare time. His LovePC, shown here, has a built-in LCD surrounded by a leopard print. Lights are hard-wired to blink with hard-drive activity.
A shot of the LovePC in the dark. With Valentine’s Day coming up, some might say purple neon can be romantic.
For his DashboardPC, Liou built a car dashboard into a computer case. The gauges glow with electro-luminescent lighting.
The computer shows RAM, CPU and hard-drive usage in real time.
The gauges for the DashboardPC were taken from a Honda Civic.
Liou built this computer inside of a gingerbread house using 100 percent nonperishable materials.
The walls of the GingerbreadPC are made with hardboard; the icing was made with weather-stripping caulk.
Liou modifed a real guitar to fit a complete computer, including a DVD burner and built-in speakers.
The GuitarPC’s power button and CD-ROM eject button are both remote-controlled with a keychain remote. The DVD tray ejects from the side of the guitar, where a spring-loaded hidden door is placed.
The GuitarPC features a windowed CD-ROM mod with a stealth door, built-in speakers and blue accent lighting.
The flusher on Liou’s ToiletPC is hard-wired to the computer. Flush to power on; jiggle the handle some more to shut down. For the top of the PC, Liou downloaded a biohazard logo, traced it onto a piece of cardboard and cut it out with an Xacto knife to make a stencil.
