[Bl0cks]

man that looks expensive

 

[Murloc]

quite some money and months of free time of an artisan went into that.
Wonderful result.

Yes I've seen this before. Nearly four years old now.

Problem is with putting all that effort into your system and it becomes outdated so fast (and the worst part) you cannot transplant it to a new mobo / graphics card combo.

Indeed. It would be pretty sweet for a few months anyway.

All he would have to do is make a new motherboard block set that fits a new motherboard/video cards.

The biggest issue is that it looks like he is mixing aluminum with copper.

Aside from that, this case is amazing.

Spacing changes so it's a bit more involved than that.

Even worse is a silent air cooled system today would make that one look slow.

holy f, that looks beautiful. i always wish i took some sort of metalworking/woodworking classes in high school or early college, some of the stuff people do is amazing.

I'm talking about the whole cpu/motherboard/gpu block, which he would have to redo for a new motherboard anyway. Sure, it's non-trivial, but he could reuse the rest of the case. Although, I'm guessing someone who does this kind of custom work probably sees each new build as a new opportunity to do something different anyway.

Don't let Aigo see his choice of fans though!

its old.. its very old.

And you guys want to hear a sad story about this case?

IT was sent to Nils for a murdermod photo shoot.
As it was on the desk, the case fell off.
I dont know exactly how, but yes it took a good dive.

Nils said the entire computer was ruined after that.

So it was a very sad story.
