Stargate motorized pyramid is a PC case from another world
A user by the name of Gup over at the TechPowerup forums has whipped up one of the most impressive Stargate case mods we've seen 'round these parts. It's modeled after a Goa'uld Ha'tak starship from the series, and features a motorized, lifting upper shield that reveals a screen hidden within. The shield and the lights are all controlled via remote.
Check out the gallery below for more, or jump through for a video detailing Gup's inspiration, process and final product.

As one can probably assume from my handle, I think this thing is amazing. Are there instructions?

Hencal not of this world.

I think this just looks great. Now, if only there was a version without the PC. That would be pretty cool.

Awesome!

Geek-a-licious! If he's got this thing playing blu-ray and streaming TrueHD and DTS-HD MA, I want 2!!!

Put a small flat screen TV in it, and it's perfect... MMMMmmmmmm...... !!!!!!!

That is the most impressive thing I have seen in a while. My hats off to you fellow stargate fan!

Very cool, but that's not a Ha'tak. The Ha'tak class are a vessel built around a cental pyramid that houses the royalty cast. This is a vessel built in the shape of a pyramid.
This is actually Ra's ship from the original stargate movie. While ships similar to this have appeared in the show, their class name was never stated on screen.

That is just too cool! I loved the original Stargate movie. The series didn't really do it for me. There was nothing like the landing of the pyramid in the original movie. I watched that scene over and over. I want one of these, no matter what the cost!

Very cool! I would like to know if it can run an Imac though. But it would be very cool to see a gate version. Both of the pegasus model and the milky way model.

I would pay insane amounts of money for that. I want one. >.>

I would rather have this than my car. It is the coolest thing I've ever seen in my whole life. Up there with the working full scale Gate someone sold on Ebay awhile back, but this fits and trumps all else even in a small apartment. Bring on the era of working Gaa 'uld devices being available in Costco. Sconces to Staff Weapons, Zat's and hyperbaric Sarcophogi and everything inbetween - Bring it on!

WoW! I just streamed over the You Tube to our 50" plasma TV and it's more captivating than the movie or TV series. Great job!
By seekertx at 11:57 AM ON 09/25/09
Way cool man!! Where did you get the screen saver playing on the monitor?
By egyptsg1@aol.com at 3:38 PM ON 09/25/09
This is really cool, how can we get one? The Blu-ray player would be awsome.
By Tularia at 7:53 AM ON 09/27/09

By Anonymous at 6:28 PM ON 11/12/09
Wau that´s really cool, I love it.
By PeepsMcJuggs at 4:46 AM ON 11/15/09
Evilgoblin, let me start by saying you fail epically for being a lazy arse. That being said, I googled "Stargate dialing simulator" and immediately came up with several different versions.
You want urls? Google it yo damn self! :-P
By Evilgoblin2.0 at 8:37 PM ON 11/15/09
Dear Mr. Peeps,
It isn't that I haven't searched for it myself. I have looked at quite a few of them I just haven't been able to find one that i liked this much that I was able to use as a screen saver.

My personal opinion of peepsmc.....whatever, is that he/she is a waste of sperm.
This is one rude, dis-respectful piece of sh@#.
That's just my opinion.
Further more, I hope that when you get home your mother runs out from under the porch and bites you on the ass.
on your cellphone!
