And I agree, that would make one heckuva mod project!

There is no ****ing way I would build a PC into one of those... although if I had a second one I might be tempted.

That would be quite the project... If I had the disposable income, I'd do it.

Do a scale replica Super Star Destroyer then, that will be big enough to install a watercooling loop as well

Putting the 5000 pieces together would be enough stress without trying to fit all the essentials of a computer inside it. Hell no, I think I'll pass on this one

Two things - for that price, the model had better freakin fly!!, and if anyone that doesn't own a collectable/sci-fi store buys this with their own money, they should have "geek" tattooed to their forehead.

Well, sign me up for the tattoo, then. I'm already talking with possible sponsors for a Lego Millenium Falcon case mod. I've got the money and skill (and collection) for the Lego side of things, but not the spare cash for the hardware.
