    Excuse me, ähm, where is the mod? Especially the description?
    Looks like that u got some products of some companies and place it in a case.

    Advice: Better less pix, but high quality. Quality wins. Quantity loose ;-)

    Looks like more advertisement than a build.

    @al_bundy -I think Thermaltake makes them spam parts pics, so, yeah. It's more of an advertisement.

    Initially you might think that there isn't a Mod behind this project but be patient because it's coming :winking:

    The intruder in my workshop named Mario said he wants the place on the front of the cabinet and that the top and back panel will have to be completely redone.

    I first start working with the old tools of the trade (pen and paper) and then move on to drawing on software and finally processing on laser cutting ✌️

    Not sure if it's a one-legged Mario, or a random country in Africa. -It could be both.

    It's official, Mario has took possession of the front of the cabinet and to do so he also managed to break the three-dimensional wall :jawdrop: upload_2023-12-12_19-34-25.gif

    It should look more like he's smashing through. Here it looks like he has the noclip cheat. Good thing he's not a FPS character. Being in a wall like that would make him thrash violently. :lol:

    Laser cutting of the top panel and back of the cabinet - Part Two

    Now we give a bit of liveliness and three-dimensionality to the top and back panels going to work plexiglass panels with different colors typical of Super Mario Bros.

    Resin 3D Printing Phase - Part One

    This manufacturing process with the subsequent hand painting phase began when I received the invitation to this competition even if I am publishing it now.
