Mechanical Tumor case mod shows biomechanical future horrors
Although disgusting at first sight, the recently unveiled Mechanical Tumor may in fact be a forecast of future bio-mechanically engineered computers. Created by Japanese artist Mio Lizawa, the artificial tumor (which looks disturbingly like a brain) shrinks and expands depending on the PC's CPU use.
Controlled by a simple air compressor and actuator motor, the contraption looks incredibly realistic and will probably fool most of your non-geek friends into thinking you've taken your digital obsession a little too far. You can see video of the horrid little PC tumor that could here.

Loves it. Perfect for the guy who has to be in the forefront of everything: "Your computer's got a virus. Hell, mine's got a f**king tumor for crying out loud. Look!"

That is the most revolting picture ever.

This may sound like blasphemy but this device can be turned into fully functional,reliable, cheap, AND SILENT fluid transition based cooler xD
Surface size - increase as CPU temperature grows - enabling it to dispatch more heat (1 functionality) also it's pulsating movement can be used to pump liquid through cooling device circulatory system (2 functionality) xD
Also it would be pretty cool thing to have ;)
