The Case Mods of The World Series of Video Games 2006

Post by Apoptosis »

After driving 5 hours to Kentucky I arrived at WSVG and was able to snap a few cases that stood out from the crowd this evening. It's already 10:24pm here, so I am back at the hotel taking it easy. Enough talk... Let's look at some of the awesome case mods of WSVG!

Simple yet Nice -- Case Flames

The first two rock! The rest look too busy for my personal tastes, although I have to give'em kudos for creativity.

Thanks for your guys votes here..

here is a little case bio for Gorillaz

*Project/Case Name:* Gorillaz
*Builder:* Matt "Digital2D" Wendt
*Affiliation:* http://www.GruntvillE.com
*Age*:26


*HARDWARE*
*Motherboard: Abit IC7G Max 2*
*Processor: Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHz
RAM: 1GB Corsair LL*
*Video Card: BFGTech 6800GT OC*
*Harddrives: 2x 120GB Seagate in RAID
Soundcard: Creative X-fi Music


Idea/Inspiration: I had a busted knee and wanted to make a case while unable to work. Spent all of my workmen's' compensation on making this case.I got the idea from the GorillaZ website art and album cover and not to forget the music which I have been a fan of since day one

How I built : Mostly using a dremel and spraypaint ......Matter of fact I used only a dremel for the entire project..I also used cut outs for the case paint job to get all the mini gorillaz logos


- Features a Proview LCD monitor inside on the side panel with a spray painted plexiglas panel for a cover. Works as a secondary monitor and desktop extension.
- Added the LCD monitor mostly to play Gorillaz videos on to go along with the theme.
- A complete custom paint job over the entire case, including the inside.
- The "left side" (opposite monitor) has the CD case cover from the Gorillaz latest CD entitled "Demon Days" which is Back lit with the inside cathodes
- 9x 12" cold cathodes in total across the entire case - most of them white.
- Keyboard and monitor were painted and customized together in an entire set.


I have been showing this case all around the US and inspiring people to listen to the GorillaZ..or so they tell me.

The sticked together flesh one reminds me of The Master from Fallout 1.
