Unfortunately, a PC case would probably be a big weight and shock-resistance hassle. These components already have to withstand huge Gforce shocks, even with bumpers. Kudos for the idea, though. That'd be interesting, seeing my neon-blue case on a robot.
Actually coded right, the Cell processor is way more useful than the PS3 RSX (the gpu), it was the only way that Uncharted 2 looked so good, they took some of the GPU work to the cell
