It's not often you get to see two obsessive mod cultures properly mashed up together like this, but Mark Purney grafted the turbocharger from a late 90's Mitsubishi Eclipse onto a PC for use as a case fan. Doesn't actually turbocharge anything -- especially since you wouldn't actually want to pressurize the inside of a PC -- Mark says he put this mod together because was tired of seeing ads for "turbocharged" PCs, a term that doesn't really mean much in the context of computing. And believe us, if there's one thing we're about, it's respecting the integrity of the word "turbocharged."

:lol: I hadnt seen that before. I wonder if he just used a powered fan or something to get the turbo to spin?

I'm assuming it just blows air into the case.. would be cool to see a photo of the turbo glowing red though 0X
