thats certaintly interesting. Are there any more pics available?

Spacecowboy92 · 8th Jun 2006, 16:54

That looks cool, a few closeup pics of the 'detail' would be good. Whats the top made of? heatsinks maybe.

Tim S · 8th Jun 2006, 16:59

I think if the Borgs where to create a tower .. that would be it.

That towers definitly cool, someone should buy old hardware off ebay for tuppance and start thing up as a new kind of modding

yahooadam · 8th Jun 2006, 19:34

heh, pretty pointless but it looks good

, the other silvery one looks cooler to me

olly_lewis · 8th Jun 2006, 19:38

hmm modern art, gotta love it and now i love it even more! Great idea and the detail is great, expecially with the heatsinks on the top...

rowin4kicks · 8th Jun 2006, 20:03

yea i like it

maybe its just me?!?! but i reckon that would be beta without the paint!

automagsrock · 8th Jun 2006, 23:23

lol, possibly alpha maybe since they would need to add lights so it lights up at night??

Xiachunyi · 8th Jun 2006, 23:43

Pretty good attention to detail.

The inside of the tower looks pretty nice as well:

Al Terego · 9th Jun 2006, 19:45

Wow..what computer parts did they use to make that? the people look real..

lol

Sparrowhawk · 10th Jun 2006, 04:45

I like the attention to detail they put into the model.
(Now if only I could get the idea of Taipei 101 looking like Chinese take-out boxes out of my head.

)

Edit: About Alpha and Beta... would Gamma be with little model people running around it?
