Battlestar Galactica PC Mod

March 17, 2011 By noemi 1 Comment

Here’s another DIY project for you. It may be a tad more complicated than the DIY mobile phone stand I wrote about the other day, but you will not regret looking at these images.

Battlestar Galactica may very well be the best sci-fi TV show ever created, and those who fell in love with it know the emptiness that the end of the show brought. If you think I am exaggerating, go get the DVDs and watch!

So anyway, this guy called Boddaker must have been a hardcore fan, as he created a modified PC set up about three years ago, based on BSG. It may be three years old, but I think staring at the images will never get old. Words will not do his creation any justice, so here, take a look – and have something ready to wipe that drool.

The set up in all its glory.

The most welcome sight for many a pilot in the show – and the stressed out viewers as well.

Ingenious use of the logo.

Roslin’s favorite weapon. This one’s not so deadly and looks prettier, I think.

And how many times did DRADIS give you a near-heart attack while watching the series?

If those images are not enough to satisfy you, here is a video from the creator.

And if you want to give this a try yourself, here are the specs.

  • EVGA nForce 590 SLI motherboard
  • AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ CPU
  • Two EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS graphics cards in SLI
  • 4GB (2x2GB) Crucial Ballistix Tracer Red DDR2 800MHz
  • Cooler Master 850W modular PSU
  • Pioneer slimline slot loading DVD drive
  • Logitech G15 keyboard and G9 mouse
  • IZ3D 22″ 3D monitor
  • Western Digital RaptorX 150GB HD (x2)
  • Swiftech pump, blocks
  • Black Ice Stealth 360 radiator
  • PC Ice clear fluid
  • Primoflex red tubing
  • 10″ LCD
  • 2.5″ LCD (x3)

You can probably one-up this guy simply because of developments in technology, but he will always be the first to execute such a concept.
