Video: The Pumpkin PC Is One Scary Hack

What happens when you take some various PC parts, a pumpkin, and PCWorld Labs analysts, and bring them all together? Why, you get the Great Pumpkin PC! And it may very well be the craziest thing we've ever attempted.

Check out the video below to see it in action:
