Actually I’m not a fan of Hewlett-Packard products, but this brand new HP TouchSmart PC is different. This computer features a 19-inch HD widescreen with adjustable touch-screen display, and one-touch wireless access to digital photos, calendars, radio, TV, and the Web. On the inside, this monster is powered by an AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core processor, 2GB DDR2 SDRAM, 320GB HDD, a slot-loading SuperMulti DVD burner, and an integrated 1.3MP HP WebCam with built-in microphone.

Nick Falzone, a 19-year old college student spent approximately 300 hours to build this incredible “Sangaku” Japanese Case Mod. He did it in his spare time over nine months during 2005.
Traditional Japanese architecture might seem completely normal from a Japanese perspective, but for the rest of us it has certain “cool factor” attached to it.
Sangaku is the Japanese word for unique, wooden, mathematical tablets created during the Edo period (1603-1867) in Japan – a period when all Western influences were shunned. In short, they involved some seriously crazy math problems which equally crazy math geeks (albeit honourable ancient Japanese samurai-type math geeks) worked on and challenged each other with. Think The Last Samurai meets A Beautiful Mind and crossed with sudoku. This site has a great explanation of the serious side to sangaku.
More detailed pics after the jump. Great job Nick!
