    This is a Lian Li case mod for a client who loves Ultima. The canvas for this mod is LIAN LI's PC-7FN Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer. We'll be adding some custom grills and Brad will be handling the custom paint! Some aspects will be Fashion over Function...lol

    A promising start, but I'm troubled that the devil looks like he's playing with his nipple.:eyebrow:

    ala Mortal Kombat...

    side question: Does the dragon impede much air flow? any noticeable noise?

    Nice!

    That is a sweet paint job. And the demon/devil does look like he's playing with his nipple. But that's even scarier because it's like he's all "Yea, I'm playin with my nipple..so what. You gonna do something about it?" Scary sh!t right there. :cooldude:
