Computer Made From a Bottle of Ballantine's Whiskey
Janos Marton decided to go totally unorthodox, check this out: "I already had a powerful computer setup so I wanted something more quiet and small for a basic home server... I have seen many nice and creative cases before but none of them were made out of a bottle. In November I bought an industrial 3.5" SBC board (with Socket370). For the project I selected a 1.5 litre Ballantine's bottle..." More info and full project step-by-step are here.

Old TV set becomes a YouTube Portal
This is a wonderful fetish: old TV sets are undoubtedly cool, especially made with hardwood paneling and stuffed with state-of-the-art circuitry inside. We've received pictures of the case mod, made from a Soviet TV set REKORD, 1961.
A sound engineer from Netherlands installed a custom-built sub-woofer and speakers with motion sensitive cream-coloured LEDs to imitate the flickering of TV lamps. And a jeweler was invited to polish up on exterior details and create a power switch in front of the monitor by using the REKORD metal logo.
Vintage Microphones are cool-looking, too. See how it's been transformed into PC case here:

Want some humor? Check out this beaver, then. Some would possibly object it to be too gross for their desktop:
(but you gotta admit, it casts a wicked shadow...)
More images are here. For the anime girl computer head over to this page.
