For PC Modders are simply creative, you could easily become almost anything in a PC case. Now, a retro gadget, 1951 AA H664 Zenith Cobra-matic phonograph has become a fully functional PC.

Fillings, in this case are a retro PC Intel Core 2 Duo processor, an XFX GeForce 7950GT graphics card, 2GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive. This case mod was built by Alvin Barber, and the PC was designed as a game, PC, but kept the low noise performance.

The plan? This is a game, PC performance, not much cutting edge as I want to keep it as quiet as possible. I consider water cooling, but am going to stick with air. Although I have a bad metal and copper fire extinguisher or a copper toilet tank float would work as cold reserve. So yes, as Retromod, brass and copper have a role to be more “tube-punk” accents.
