Beautiful PocketBike i7 Casemod

Under the hood of this stellar casemod is a speedy Core i7 920 CPU on an Asus P6T mobo, with an EVGA 9800 GTX+ graphics card, 1TB of storage and 3GB of DDR3-1333 RAM. Saibot finished off his computer minibike with 5 bright CCFLs, 1 LED spot light and a pair of neon under-car lights to give it a serious glow.
