What I Would Suggest...

In Response To: Marathon PC ideas.. (Fernando.)

If I were going to do it, I'd buy the window case:

http://thinkgeek.com/stuff/fun-stuff/3735.shtml

then, painfully remove the lexan/plexi insert. Take the case, sans components, to your local shopping centre where you can find a down-on-his-luck airbrush artist working at a custom T-shirt stand. Slap a bill in the guy's hand and have him spray the case so it looks dented and vaguely military. Have him add some scorch marks and bullet dents, too.

Go home and spray the case with some sort of matte sealer. Take the lex/plex insert and mask a Marathon symbol. Paint the symbol area with diluted nitric acid. Wash and reattach insert.

Add a blue neon to the interior of the case. Install components. Sit on desk and sigh appreciatively as you wife henpecks you about taking out the trash.

Beat wife with stick, making sure blood sprays on the case front. Melt wife with the remaining nitric acid in a sturdy porcelain bathtub. Pulverize her bones with a hammer and dump the fragments in an industrial furnace.

I did something similar to this years and years ago with my old Mac SE and they still haven't arrested me yet!
