RSSGuitar PC rocks out to processor performance
Following up on the guitar hacks theme, this guitar pc case mod seems like a nice way to show your love for rock while simultaneously destroying a pretty nice acoustic guitar. Unfortunately there are no specs available for building it, but it looks pretty easy to do, cut a hole in a guitar, stick a PC inside, and make a few holes for ventilation and speakers.

There's a various obvious flaw here - the guitar sound box is designed to amplify vibrations, like the vibrations from guitar strings or, erm, fans. So you'll end up with a noisy PC very, very easily...

Isn't that the point? I mean, if you're trying for a "various obvious" result, Jimi Hendrix would be jealous.

This is simultaneously glorious and atrocious. I love the idea and the look, but the fact that a beautiful instrument was mutilated to make it sickens me.
