computers in a bottle, a tire and in the shape of a Tesla Cybertruck

The first computers appeared in the 40s of the last century, and each of them occupied several large rooms at once. Today, full-fledged PCs can be as large as a flash drive, so the small size of the system unit will not surprise anyone. But enthusiasts are conducting interesting experiments, for example, placing computers in ordinary objects. And manufacturers sometimes release very strange cases. In this article, we will talk about the most interesting ones that we have seen in the past six months or a year.

What we have before us is not just a system unit, but a full-fledged PC, which is housed in the case of a standard mouse. With its help, you can move the cursor and click on LMB and RMB. A two-inch screen is used as a display, and the power source is a lithium-polymer battery. The computer supports the Windows 10 operating system and can run many modern games.

The wisdom of placing a video card, processor and motherboard in a rubber band raises questions. And the dimensions are not impressive – they are comparable to a standard system unit. However, there is something else interesting here: the guy started a bet with a friend that he would build a computer in a car wheel that would work. And he won. At the same time, the young man does not hide that “this is the stupidest thing he has ever assembled.”

This option will certainly appeal to lovers of retro furniture. The system unit was placed in a vintage wooden bedside table. And in one of the shelves lies a working CD-ROM.

The cooler as a housing for the system unit makes me smile. I want to joke about a new level of water cooling or the questionable hobbies of office workers when they have no work. Plus, the boss might not notice the catch, because from far away it might look like an ordinary 19 liter bottle.

Unusual cases are made not only by enthusiasts, but also by large equipment manufacturers. For example, Acemagic announced a computer that looks like a TIE fighter. It was used by Imperial stormtroopers in Star Wars. However, at the moment this system unit has not yet appeared on sale. Even its characteristics are not yet known to us.

As children, many of us bought toy cars with opening doors, hoods and trunks. But we could not even imagine that one day we would be able to put a full-fledged computer in such a model. Due to its small size, it obviously does not have a dedicated graphics card, but it does have a powerful Ryzen 7 8845HS processor and 64 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM.

Sometimes, system units surprise not with their shape, but with their design. For example, a Singaporean brand released a series of computers in the style of noodle packages. There are flavors to choose from, such as Seafood, Tonkotsu and Tom Yam. In our opinion, you have to be a big fan of the local Doshirak to buy such a case.

Fun game Cult of the Lamb received an unusual merchandise – a computer with the face of a white lamb, the main character of the game. In addition, the cabinet is decorated with game symbols and illuminated in hellish red. It is noteworthy that the developers organized a lottery for this PC in honor of the release of an update that adds sex to the game.

The company Lian Li proposed an expensive but spectacular hull in the form of a luxury yacht. Thanks to bloggers, we were convinced that she cannot swim. But such a system unit will be an excellent table decoration.

First of all, I would like to note the system unit, which starts only after the gong is struck. We immediately had associations with the passage of cryptocurrencies in Mortal Kombat 11.

And another guy screwed a coin accepting device into the PC. Since then, you have to pay for every activation. And every 5 minutes of work costs 10 cents. As soon as the timer stops counting, the computer shuts down. I can’t help but remember arcade machines from the 80s and 90s.

Of course, we did not include all the unusual computers in the article. Some of them, for example, the body of a stuffed beaver, were not included in the selection for ethical reasons. What system units surprised you? Maybe you yourself have a strangely shaped PC. Share your stories in the comments!
