Yes, mindseas, that Doom3 Case Mod is one of the most epic things I’ve ever seen in hardware modification. :D

Why do I find that case mods are intersting and great? The Creativity and pure skill these people utilize to achieve these mods is just so freaking stunning. Yes sure, I don’t like the christmastree look-a-like cases much either, but the cases are often more than just the lights and colors. Reading the logs you can see that.

The world of hand-crafting is dying due to automatical systems and big production lines. If computer cases is where some of that ability is kept alive, then hell, mod more!

I like the first case design and neatness a lot, there’s been great effort put into the cable routing and planning of small details.

Then there’s stuff like Orac3 which…is anything but minimalistic, but it is done so for a purpose of portraying something other than just the usual lights in a case with a window.

I used to follow mods a lot actually, but haven’t for a while now anymore. Most of the newer ones seem to lack the finesse and creativity.

I just have to mention this one more, as I find it among the most interesting ones.
