(another) UPDATE: The site's up; for now, anyway!
UPDATE: The links to the Russian site aren't working; sorry! Hopefully the site will come back up.
This, hands down, is one of the most involved--and amazing--case mods I've ever seen. Originally posted on casemods.ru, few details about the project are available to those who don't read Russian. (Google Translator to the rescue!)
Completely hand-built in just 18 days, this amazing mod began when a man named Valeri watched Wall-E, Disney and Pixar's 2008 animated hit:
I was impressed by the
image of a small, very lonely robot who is struggling alone with a
whole army of fellow that I decided to make a computer corpus of my
favorite hero.
So he headed to the machine shop and got to work. There, he cut, milled, drilled, and filed every piece of the lovable little robot out of metal, paying remarkable attention to even the tiniest of details. The resulting 19 pages of in-process photographs show the truly astounding craftsmanship that went into creating the final piece.
Perhaps for his next project, an external-drive Eva is in order?

Just now saw your article about the Wall-E Case Mod. Clicking on the three links resulted in '404 errors'. I assume that there was so much interest that the articles were pulled. Any place else there may be more information?
Thanks, Bill
