ASPHIAX aka Sander van der Velden is a modder from the Netherlands who may have put together not just the best Star Wars case mod, but perhaps the most impressive case mod I’ve ever seen altogether. There’s an incredible attention to detail here, from the functional design to the aesthetics and frills. It’s a massive piece of work that doesn’t compromise looking like a Star Destroyer in order to fit the components inside. It just straight up looks like a Star Destroyer, tiny lights and all.
Most of the visible components were made using a 3D printer, while the frame was made using custom aluminum cuts. Sander wanted the build to be perfect, so he took two years to practice with laser cutters before returning to the project. It was worth it, undoubtedly.
Sander even put together a lightweight fictional context for the big bugger based on Chinese mythology.
For more information check out the build log or head to CES in Las Vegas between January 6-9 to see it in person.
Amazing job, Sander!

ASPHIAX aka Sander van der Velden is a modder from the Netherlands who may have put together not just the best Star Wars case mod, but perhaps the most impressive case mod I’ve ever seen altogether. There’s an incredible attention to detail here, from the functional design to the aesthetics and frills. It’s a massive piece of work that doesn’t compromise looking like a Star Destroyer in order to fit the components inside. It just straight up looks like a Star Destroyer, tiny lights and all.
Most of the visible components were made using a 3D printer, while the frame was made using custom aluminum cuts. Sander wanted the build to be perfect, so he took two years to practice with laser cutters before returning to the project. It was worth it, undoubtedly.
Sander even put together a lightweight fictional context for the big bugger based on Chinese mythology.
For more information check out the build log or head to CES in Las Vegas between January 6-9 to see it in person.
Amazing job, Sander!
