Case Mod - In Progress HELGHAN - a Killzone2 CM - FINISHED !!!!

cool !
Any updates?

 

great great job!

And a awesome working place! I am sooo envy! Shame on me...

 

Congratz on the MOTM nomination.

 

congrats on the MOTM.. You have a very original machine..

 

Thank you very much everybody !
I am very happy to be nominated for MoTM

I know updates are a bit slower here, but forgive me plz
Here is a new one !

I started painting the whole project. Fist the basic paint for a texture on the pillars.



Then I painted the pillars with a new kind of paint … well … it gives a texture to it :d
Here you see what I mean.





After that a new layer of that paint





I started to choose the color of the case … ended up with this one





Sometimes, the paint is dark olive green and sometimes it is gray looking…







I also started on the bottom of the inside of the case. There will be a mat plexi sheet, with the logo of Guerrilla (developers of the killzone games)





Inside the case it will look like this:



After that I made the logo on paper






The logo will be black offcoure, that’s a nice color with the orange

Here is the result, a bit blurry but just as I wanted it to be



Remember the vacuum cleaner pipe? I gave it a dark accent.



Before:


And After




Nothing special … just to finish the CD drive slot


And now I am painting the whole case with primer.








Sorry for bad quality






That’s it for now , If everything will go smoothly then this project is ended in mid-november and then I can start with my new project.

Awesome! Great craftsmanship and imagination.

 

WOW, this turned out very well, very nice work. 5 stars from me.

 

Awesome! Very well executed! Just too bad that it wasnt a GoW 2 theme haha jk!

 

thats a great case mod. love the craftsmanship you put into it. very creative and inovative if ya ask me. btw its a bit on the bulky side how much does it weigh? and did u put any casters under the base?

o btw what kinda goodies are inside ? if its a gaming pc im sure its packed full of nice equipment.

either way grats on the finish and good luck at the show..

 

hehe thankyou very much

I put the case on the weight scale and it says 24 kilograms - that's about 52.8 pounds if I use the converter

The hardware inside is just for a medium pc now,
An Intel E8200 Core2Duo (2.66GHz x2)
2Gigs of DDR2-800 memory - But I think I will buy an extra 2GB when I'm going to use it for games
Graphics: ATI HD4580 - I bought it in august, it was cheap with very good performance
mobo: MSI P45 NEO2 - ATI crossfire ready with "new" P45 chipset

Well ... I can play all normal games, crysis in medium/high with a good FPS-rate

I'm packing the case for the show now , long live ducktape ! (on the outside of the box ofcourse )

 

wow looks amazing and has amazing attention to detail. my only question is.. is the gun removable ^^

Keep up the great work!

 

that's pretty sick, i hadn't seen any thing about this before and then i wake up and see "kill zone case" obviously click worthy. had no idea it' be that good, awesome work.

 

Great mod as ai said many many times before!

 

That's money. Awesome looking case.

 

i love killzone
i have probably played 2 weeks of killzone if you add the hours up
haha

 

Very nice work tomcatt, congratulations!

 

its a great machine you did very well none the less. 52 lbs is a bit of weight you might wanna think about some kind of wheels under the case but thats just an idea.

good luck at the show let us all know how u did
