Thankfully, over in Japan, Hiroto Ikeuchi is keeping the craft alive in spectacular fashion.<\/p>\n<p>Ikeuchi spent the better part of the last year building this incredible machine, a creation that isn\u2019t so much a case mod as full-blown diorama. It\u2019s a deliriously detailed little world that just happens to take place in and around a functioning computer. It also redefines the idea of what it means to have a cluttered desk.<\/p>\n<p>Ikeuchi, a designer by trade, likes to call it his \u201csecret base.\u201d Inspired by mecha anime like Gundam and Macross, every surface is packed with something to discover. Soldiers tend to intricate, forbidding machinery. Mechs await repair. The work seamlessly blends plastic toys, gizmo components, and scraps of other materials with the computer itself.
