What do you do in the space of a week? Get a higher rank on your favourite game? Build a Lego castle, or just laze around and do nothing. Well, Mr Magnuss Persson can build a custom PC and case from the ground up.

So what I hear you say? Well this is no ordinary case. This one is a replica of Portal’s Companion Cube. O.K., it may look all “cute” and “cuddley”, but this is a pretty sturdy machine.

Since Magnuss Parsson knew there were no real Arperture portal guns to transport this PC around his house, he was able to fit a VIA Epia EX1500G motherboard along with a PicoPSU, 2GB of memory, a 250GB HDD and WLAN can, all in this tiny 7.9” wide case.

To see how he made it please visit bit-tech.net for a walkthrough.
