Crafty nerd bolts on actual turbo to PC.
Sweet flames too!! 0X
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."

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

You really got me thinking.. I should start making little ricer wings to put on everything. Would be a great gag/novelty gift.
