The whole project is documented here WMD II: via Gadgets Fosfor. They have another interesting weird mod list. Probably the best case modding company Best Case Scenario certainly rocks.

So where's one with a hamster habitat? Avi needs it!
These mods are so sick man!
Hey dude. I like your blog. It doesn't even look like a regular blogspot blog! Can you please give me some pointers because I want to change the site design for my blog, Pariah's Guild (www.pariahs-guild.blogspot.com)
Also would you you be interested in doing a link swap? THX
Very nice, Now that gives me an idea... Thanks, P
Is that a jug of nerd urine in the 5th to last picture?
Dude, put your shirt on.
These are amazing computer cases.
I thought that I was the only one
to do something like this.
I made a case out of purple heart
wood.
thanks from tony
wow that is a very long list of cool cases, I wish I had done some of them. I have a few photos of some cool cases here, or the customers thought so anyway, thanks for taking a look
How do you end up shirtless at a case mod convention??
Must be hot in there, would some body please turn up the AC?
I agree, totally sick cases, I want one.
How do I Import Unreal tournament 3 mods from my computer to my Playstation 3?
Wow. Some of those are awesome! I especially like the Bat-mobile one. An inside pic of that would be interesting to see, cant believe everything fits in there! I reviewed a more mainstream cases on my tech blog
, but nothing of this magnitude.
A custom case ca be ordered in a variety of materials including steel, plastic or even aluminum. Steel is the most common material found, however, because the price tends to be a lot less and it is very easy to work with when you want to add paint or brushed on art to your case.
Did anyone realize that "R2D14" is a dryer drum?
computer enclosures are cooled depending upon the application and the extreme temperatures, there are solutions to cool an enclosure to -30 degrees and there are solutions to heat the enclosure to +60 degrees Celsius. Air conditioning units are also available, however they have moving parts than do wear out over time, there are options to maintain a ambient temperature inside the cabinet even if the external temperature range is to variable.
These cases are the 5th degree of an unreal Dark Masonry Order.
