This is taken from the news section in steam.
OK, so since she IS a computer, Portal's GLaDOS wouldn't exactly need a rig of her own. If she did, though, it'd look exactly like this.
This is the Hammerhead HMR989 from DARWINmachine. And aside from the fact it's in a rather elegant, glowing "case", its key point is that it's not really a PC case at all. Rather, it's a frame for a PC's components to be bolted to, since it's basically an inside-out computer, stuff like the drives, fan etc exposed for the world to see.
Intended for "hardcore gamers" (well, duh), the case's designer, Matthew Kim, has a "background in race car engineering", which explains why it looks like the result of a steamy night between a Formula 1 car and a Portal turret.
If you're interested, there's one available, and it costs...$2,899. Plus shipping.
Hammerhead HMR98902 specs:
•Blue CNC brushed and anodized aluminum frame
•Supermatte White Ecoresin panels with Mil-Spec quick release system(motherboard side only)
•2.8Ghz Intel Core i7-860 cpu
•4 Gb ram

•1 640 Gb front loaded "hot-swappable" hard drive
•1 extra hot-swap tray for a second hard drive
•nVidia ENGTX460 graphics card
•Optical CD/DVD drive
•Kingston 750W modular power supply
