geekcivilization.com— We have all heard about the pyramid inspired spaceship in the movie StarGate. Now this inspiration is being used to create one of the best themed PC cases out there.

Gorgeous case, but it looks as though he chose aesthetics over usability.That monitor seems incredibly small. It seems almost impossible to use a keyboard or mouse unless you are sitting pretty far from the monitor
That's not the actual monitor, it's just a display about the temps, processor usage etc. If you go to the build thread, you can see that he hooks it up to a big screen that's on the wall in the same room. I would assume the mouse and keyboard are wireless, as well, since you don't see them in any of the pictures (Edit: he was going for cable free, so definitely wireless). It is more aesthetic, though. It takes up a good-sized portion of a coffee table, but that's part of the point of modding, is to make computers aesthetic and artistic, something that can be displayed as part of a room, instead of just a box that sits under a desk.Here's a link to the page with the screen (more a TV, I guess). Just scroll down a bit.<a class="user" href="http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=138873&amp;page=9" rel="nofollow">http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=138873 ...</a>
