OMGWTFBBQ! What you see above is just one of many outlandish case mods to be found at QuakeCon 2008's "BYOC" LAN party annex. Given the fans and heatsinks that thing's sporting, we wouldn't be surprised if you could actually grill on it. Our sister site, Big Download, is at the annual frag fest covering all things PC and snapped these photos, along with some general ambiance shots (read: booth girls).

We're usually not ones to post about console case mods of any sort, but we decided to buck that trend today -- namely because no case mod we've ever seen has inspired such fear into our hearts. A forum-dweller by the name of dfw monkie recently posted pictures of his latest monstrosity to The Llamma's Game Console Forums (instilling a greater fear in us that a Llama-themed 360 is in the works) -- an Xbox 360, covered in the pitch-black skin of a gargantuan alligator that dfw monkie killed with his bare hands.

Okay, the crocodilian pattern was created with common crafting supplies, but we much prefer our own "Man vs. Wild" interpretation of the console's backstory. Martha Stewart-esque origins or no, the final product is still downright unsettling.
