Mods:
This is an update on an earlier case I posted some time ago before I had the hardware to put into it. Unfortunately, I cannot find the original post to update . . . So I will update with a new post.

While new and shiny mods are very spectacular to the eye, I wanted something a bit more worn and used looking. Being a fan of all things zombie and a gamer of apocalyptic and military themed games, I wanted a computer that matched my interest. So I went about designing a mod that looked like a military radio which had seen service in a global war, survived and had been repurposed in a post-apocalyptic world. I decided to go with the Corsair Carbide 400R as the start point.

Just for consideration, have you considered green fans rather than blue and red? It's awesome as it is, but... ;)

Wow great job!

This is one of the best mods I've ever seen. Completely unique. The exact opposite of the shiny, lit-up bling you see in most custom computers.

Great great job.
