Ready to get your polka on? This unassuming accordion happens to house a complete PC under hidden inside its bellows.

The Enrico accordion case mod project took an old squeezebox, gutted it out and loaded it with a Linux server, designed to store the builders’ digital music collection. Thanks to a Micro-ITX motherboard, they were able to cram the entire system inside the instrument without too much complaint.

While I’m hoping they have stored more than Oom-pah music on the RAID drive array, I wouldn’t count on it.

The only problem that I see with it is that, can can no longer play the instrument (OK some may say thats not such a bad problem). The ultimate challenge would be to keep it working. I suppose you could probably rig the keys on it to actually electronically play a note.
