and I can't find any pics of it on the internet, but here's the deal...

there's a magazine called Computer Power User, and they have "special editions" they put out every so often.

This one is called PC MODDER, and it's about 230 pgs, printed on non-glossy "cheap" paper, but this custom case is on the cover so you can't miss it...

It's a replica of the strider of half life 2...for those that don't know, it's a 3 legged alien killing machine that's really really tall, like this...

so you're thinkin, yeah that could be pretty cool...

the strider case mod sits over FOUR FEET TALL, AND HAS SERVO-ACTUATED MOVING PARTS!

I suggest you go to your local bookstore and find it and read it there (mag costs $10). It tells how he built it from scratch in 3 weeks.


EDIT: There!! Is that picture better for all you whiners???

Hey, could you post a bigger pic next time? I only had to scroll about halfway across my screen to see the edges of that one.

;p

That image violates the image posting policies of the forum.

The thing I hate most about that pic is that it's not even in the game (the pic situation).

They fabricated it pre-release. There's no point in the game where that exact situation happens (on that street, with those guys running away from the strider).

it was just a pic to show people who might not know what it is...it didn't have to be an actual in-game picture...
