PC Pr0n: 25 New, Kick-Ass Case Mods

Features
By Maximum PC ) published 2 May 2012

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an commission. Here’s how it works.

A kick-ass case mod makes for a kick-ass PC. It's that simple. No matter whether you're rocking a Sandy Bridge-E or a Celeron, a water-cooled, LED-lit, hand-tailored and custom milled chassis stops traffic and sets lips a-whistlin' like nobody's business, proverbs about books and their covers be damned.

The past six months have seen a flood of truly outstanding case mods hit the Interwebz. So we decided to take the time to showcase the best of the best in (mostly) recent memory -- with a little extra help from master modder Bill Owen of MNPCTech , Case Mod Blog , Mod Men and Maximum PC Star Trek PC fame. Because who knows the cream of the crop better than one of the cream of the crop?

The first 10 mods come hand-picked from Bill himself, while we rounded out the rest of the gallery with even more eye-catching case mods, including six that were chronicled in our very own Maximum PC Modder's Workshop forum . Click on a pic to get an expanded view of it, or hit the links underneath the images to see in-progress work logs of the builds. Enjoy the eye candy!

Lanboy Apocalypse by Bill Owen and Kyle Van Der Merwe. (Yeah, we'll let Bill start off with one of his own. Look at that thing!)

The Book by Patrick (aka Paladin). We lied; you can tell this book by its cover. A single picture doesn't do this justice. It actually opens and closes! Hit that link.

GuavaSauce's Station 6 mod looks great by day, but even more awesome by night. (Hexorg's Matrix mod is pretty kick-ass for a newbie attempt, too.)
