    @ cheaps, I'll let ya know, everything has been temp derailed.

    White cold cathode light, 12" tube inside the chassis, later the acrylic housing was coated with Silver paint to dim the brightness

    I really didn't care too much for the movie as I thought it had a kind of bare story line, but this case mod is really cool. The rusted and weathered effects look so real.

    impressive. I hope you do something like this in your job! That is creating creative content.

    I would love to try this stuff out someday, but I would want a mancave first. :D

    a D9 mod, I wasn't enthused when you started this, as I usually tend to be when you start a project, but that could be because the movie didn't captivate me , but I read on, and that gun, don't remember seeing it anywhere in the movie, I kept reading and checking out your updates, excellent execution on the hand made acrylic bullet holes, the massive hole in the side of the case, I was a little skeptical, I mean you live in a country that allows firearms, who wouldn't want you to shoot the **** out of the side panel, but instead you made a sizable hole, and it looks good, but I wasn't really impressed. I kept ready n checking out the updates, the side panels weren't very appealing, and then to hear you were going to rust them, was even less appealing, 'coz I'm all about the new and less about the apocalypse someone can do to a case, I read on...

    After seeing the final out come of the side panel, I'm in complete awe of the skill both u and ur airbrushing person have, those side panels look amazing, I sat back took a deep breathe and said "ZOMG" to myself, to go from what you started with to what I now see, incredible, absolutely incredible, I'm subb'd :) and the sizable bullet hole or hole thing, look s the real deal.

    Anyone can fire bullet holes into a computer case. Creating the illusion instead is what I call modding :thumb:


    "Arc Gun" is from one of my favorite scenes, when Wickus & Christopher break into MNU's lab.

    I need a single HD cage. This old Enermax HD cage can be cannibalized down to it's bare frame. I've also needed an excuse to implement an old distributor cap from my odds/ends drawer. The plug connections allow more flexible hose madness inside the PC, just to make people wonder what purpose they served Christopher..

    Painted the HD cage & cap same colors as exterior
