Aerodyne Art Deco PC Looks Like a Skyscraper

Is your solid white or grey-and-black Mac not really helping the vibe when you come home from a long day of work, sit back, and watch Mad Men or Pan Am on your computer? Does your boring black PC case stand in stark contrast to Christina Hendricks’ dresses or the Christina Ricci’s stewardess uniform? Never fear, because Jeffrey Stephenson made a gorgeous art deco case mod that looks like it was ripped right out of the go go smoke-and-drink-in-the-office era of your favorite show that pretends it isn’t a soap opera! You know, if modern PCs existed back then. More pictures of the smooth case mod? What kind of compu-guts are hidden within? Read on below!

The Aerodyne mod is a fan-less mini-ITX case design, made with mahogany and aluminum. Underneath the smooth exterior lies an Intel Core i3-2105 CPU, 8 GB of DDR3 RAM, a 256 GB SSD, an Intel HD3000 graphics card, and 150W PicoPSU. Also, the machine runs Windows 8, which isn’t officially released. So not only does this PC look like it is from the past, but it’s from the future. Great disguise, future traveler.
