There are roadwarriors with their ultraportables and then there's master modder Dennis Ilyin, who took computing on the go literally with this ambitious motorcycle casemod. While the two-wheeled computing wonder lacks an engine, it more than makes up for it with massive LED-lit water tanks and what's sure to be ample processing power. The compu-bike was part of an NVIDIA-sponsored modding contest and actually came in second to this green thing. Fair? Unfair? Take a look at additional pics after the jump and you tell us.

How could this come in SECOND to THAT thing??? How wonderfully overclocked could you get your computer to be if it was air cooled like a Harley?
Um, look at the motherboard. Nothings plugged in. Where are the SLi cards the bike professes? That think will be a wire nightmare when it's actually finished.
I don't see any video cards in the motherboard on the motorcycle; maybe thats why nVidia didn't give 1st to it
lol but can it run my HD porn???
That's really something.
DOES IT REALLY HAVE TO BE NEON GREEN?
It burns my eyes.
for a case, everything is kind exposed and toucable. Which kind of negates a case.
Tacky IMO.
There's one in the read link that looks like a giant valve which I would say is the best of the lot, the rest are just a bit boring; all green lights and lack of taste.
@aznplayer213: yea anyway... thats all that matters...
How about crysis??
I think the carbon fiber-y one with the amber lighting should've won.
I'll agree with many of you, most of those designs are in poor taste. What's up with the one that looks like a camouflaged vacuum cleaner?
I do see some cards in one of the shots; it seems complete, they just didn't use any of the legacy slots.
Thats pretty dam awsome! He could get a pretty $$$$ if he put that on ebay.
That makes me want a electric motorbike with an integrated low-power computer and a screen / dashboard that runs software gauges in addition to a Linux-based OS.
Be really cool id somehow the rear wheel could spin up .... for some reason. Really cool mod, that little bike would make a cool little pocket rocket.
@aznplayer213: umm... yeah... maybe?
@Papsky: Yeah I think it can run Crysis at a decent framerate... like 1, or 6 frames.... if your lucky.
@Evangelion: nice
I think i want to throw up, the bike sucks!
I thought the whole point of case modding was that people who are into it just don't have the money to buy a car and pimp it.
@aznplayer213: Are ALL of your comments porn related?
Awesome, an SLI bike!! So it basically won't work in most situations and if it does it will maybe be a tiny bit faster.
Uh, where is the case? I see the mobo dangling from the bike, but shouldn't it actually be encased?
The Green thingy doesn't do it for me. I like the one captioned "Power can be Elegant" and the one that looks like a huge gun.
