I was gonna rate it a ten but when I saw the green slime thing I rate a 0. JKing.

i dont know what 2 say about this rig. you went way behond the extra ordinary. i dont even know much ratings to give you...........yet. (this is an overnighter)

Very nice
8/10 only cuz the pink tubes look a little out of place with the rest of the color scheme and also you didnt do anything with your optical drive.
Maybe paint the existing bezel or get one of those aluminum ones

other than that one of the most creative builds ive seen

I gave you 10/10. AWESOME work!

neocrisis you gotta be kidding 8/10. the pink tubing looks fine, and who cares about the optical drive. you should take another look at his work and take into consideration EVERYTHING else. not just the negative things. 10/10 from me! AMAZING WORK!

Now THIS is an "Artsy Fartsy" guy!
Well done!

Cool.. Might even keep the kids away too.. 9/10. Not my thing but the effort you put in to it is good :). And welcome to the forum

The UV lights are....well, UV not pink. as a former Marine who has been in combat, nothing w/ pink will ever come across my desk. how will that look at the Marine reunion? I would have to give up my Man Card! I've seen actual US Government biohazard items like these from leaking battery acid to toxic chem. seeping from thier worn-out containers. that is where I got this theme. I mod PC and sell them on Ebay, and again, I will not use pink as a medium.

Wow! That thing is nuts. I really like the weathered effect you've chosen.
Looks Really cool. Rated: 8/10

i like the case, not a big fan of using the forum just to advertise your auction tho.

I feel the same way but for $3,550.00 total rip lol.. To me anyways. BUT you cannot say he did not put a hell lot of work in to it and it does look like a real good job done. and it's worth a good vote i just would not buy it at a fraction of the price as in the end it's ugly to me and not worth that..

Omg 100/10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

$3550 is not a RIP; it's a steal!!! even if you do not like the theme, that it is too "ugly," and that's why you think it's not worth the asking price, I must point out what's inside that drives the price.

the 3 8800 GTX graphic cards in 3 way SLI run @ $1300 alone! then you add-in the CPU, motherboard, high-end watercooled RAM, and the very expensive watercooling hardware; that's how you can understand the very low asking price. then figure in the amount of work, the cost of the specialized tools, and the model items used that were all high-end, then you can understand how quickly the cost rises.

so, if you think it's "ugly," then I accomplished what I set out to do....and that is a case that is an industrial accident!

KURTLEYBA, I tried to respond to your PM about the Legos but you have PSs disabled.
The Lego Case uses regular Legos and measures 7" square and 3 1/2" tall. Mark

I gave you a 9. This case is one of the best I have seen as far as creativity goes, especially for those using store bought cases. Looks like something from the terminater movie.

Kick-Ass Biohazard themed PC, & worth every penny of the asking price, as a builder, I can see all the hard work that went into this mod, Awesome work.

This one deserve to be in a computer museum. 10/10 very good, keep up the good work.

Excellent work! 10/10

10/10 amazing

Thank you

thanx to all for your reviews. I really appreciate the input. this case was, for me, very hard to build. I am very glad to see that most of you like it.....or appriciate the effort. again, thanx.

sincerely

Sweet! Can't wait to see!

sweet

this is one of the nicest biohazzard case mods I've seen. Excellent work! 10/10.

Skitzo:

thank you sir. and I read your idea--I really do think it's worth trying. I originally wanted to work-in conduit & run the tubing through it. I thought about putting the conduit on the outside only. and then rusting it of course

that's cool

can't wait to see it.

You should enter that thing into the Maximum PC's Rig of the Month contest. It is a really great mod btw! good job!

I'm gonna when I get my digital camera. I was thinking of going to a pawn shop. that's where I usually by my tools to use around my house. why buy retail, huh? thanx for the comments, I really do appreciate them.

I'm gonna use Skitzo's idea of a fake holding tank for the green slime on top of the case. I am gonna fabricate another box-like housing out of white styrene sheets; however, I found an actual smoke generator from MicroMark that is made for model trains. it is designed for building models. it is very small w/ a changabel smoke stacks. I will have this fake tank w/ smoke coming out of the top.

The Smoke Stack For Biohazard Case Mod


By kurtleyba at 2008-05-04


Here's the pic. of the smoke stack I'm gonna add on top of the case in the fake tank housing that I will build this weekend

also, I am gonna mod my 22" LCD to look like that Capital One commercial where their building their custom credit card instead of the monster. in the background, there is a tv that has rivets and has rust water stains running down the sides. can't wait to get started.

I've ordered some half circles from US Plastics made out of acrylic that will work great as fake rivets.

thats great....

great idea, I've been trying to come up with a way to incorporate a fogger. That's brilliant, should look really good. Have you seen the little brass steam engines? They are fully functional, fueled by butane. I have this image of a brass and leather case with a couple of steam engines powering some fans.

could be interesting...

Steam Engine

Skitzogreat idea, I've been trying to come up with a way to incorporate a fogger. That's brilliant, should look really good. Have you seen the little brass steam engines? They are fully functional, fueled by butane. I have this image of a brass and leather case with a couple of steam engines powering some fans.

could be interesting...

Yeah, I've seen those engines at Hobbylinc.com; the one I saw was over $3K!!! this smoke generator costs a small $39 and $4 for the smoke fluid. I ordered both last night from MicroMark. should be here by Wed. I also ordered more white styrene sheets and one acrylic sheet from Hobbylinc. I'm gonna use the clear acrylic sheet on one side so the fake fluid can be seen. the three other sides of the box-housing will be of white styrene. I was figuring on demensions of:

6x6" sq. and about 7 or less inches tall.

9/10, it just look all over the place to me, but nice effort and looks.

...

sounds like it will be great, seeing as the case is a "box" the container would look good round... it's gonna look sweet.

Another idea I've been wanting to try is to build a resevoir into the window panel. The possibilities would be endless. I wonder how hard it would be to find curved arcylic to work with. i know it would be alot more work but just image the end results...

U.S. Plastics has the best wholesale prices on acrylic sheets 12" sq. And either MicroMark or hobbylinc have the heating elements that are used for re-shaping plastic. or you coold use a heating gun.

I'm gonna break apart my pc now in order to do the tank/smoke stack mod. I should be down for about 4 days. I will then post new pics of the new mod

HOW I DID IT


I mounted the dual fan Danger Den GTX radiator on the left side panel. I then built a box-housing out of white styrene sheets and clamped them together w/ plastic welding cement and L-brackets. I did not weld the top of the box to the rest of the box-housing since there might be a chance for the need to take the box apart. so, the housing was designed to be collapsible. I then built a door out of "Modder's Mesh" from MNpctech. It gave the whole unit an industrial feel. I also installed two 4 inch UV lights inside the box-housing. the power wires were threaded through a 1/8 inch whole drilled through the panel.



By kurtleyba, shot with SP-2000 at 2008-04-26

Above is the radiator and the UV lights before I sleeved them with the "Orge" sleeving kit. I had put everthing together and then sleeved the wires last--I wanted to make sure that everything worked! besides, the sleeving of wires is my least favorite thing to do....in fact, I hate it!!!!

I painted the box w/ Alclad metal paint and then applied the "rusting" material from MicroMark.

I used a Dremel to drill many 1 1/2 holes throught the case to run the Tygon tubing, and then lined them w/ rubber gouments from Performance-pcs. I used Koolance Quick Disconnects on the tubing so the both side pannels could be removed w/o having to empty the fluid.

the waterblock is by Swiftech, and the watercooled RAM is by OCZ, which in their FLEX XLC series, comes watercooled ready. however, since my tubing is 3/8 ID and the RAM is 1/4 ID, I had to attach reducers from Thermaltake. the reducers came in a kit that converted 3/8 ID to 1/4 ID. I also had to attach 1/4 ID tubing, which I did not want too, but had no choice.



By kurtleyba, shot with SP-2000 at 2008-05-03

ABOVE AND BELOW:

on the front bezel, I cut out a whole for the 120mm fan. I then inserted a black fan duct, which comes in a large tube-like piece of stock. you measure the depth needed and then cut it w/ a hand saw. this black fan duct was from MNpctech. it looks better w/ a duct than having the sides open and visible. I used the Dremel w/ cutting disk. I also cut a 80mm hole on the window panel for the side fan. the grill is another great item from MNpcte/ch.


By kurtleyba, shot with SP-2000 at 2008-05-03

On top of the case is the 6 inch "Urban Assualt" 120mm fan grill--from, again, MNpctech. it came in black; however I used the rusting paint to go over it.

I also changed out the front LEDs for 5mm UV ones from Frozencpu. the Bulgin switch is also a replacement from the ugly grey power switch. the front LEDs had to be attached to this very neat item from Frozencpu which is a small LED docking station where you can attach up to four LEDs. it is powered by one 4 pin molex. it has four 2 pin male connectors.....pretty neat, huh? it has a sticker/glue on the back side so it could be mounted anywhere in the case.

I hand painted the "warning" signs on white styrene sheets. I then mounted the Invotech Tower resavoir filled it w/ Feser "Acid Green" non conductive coolant.



By kurtleyba, shot with SP-2000 at 2008-04-26

I also used Logysis plasma lights from Xpcgear to give the "industrial" look. I mounted UV lights throughout to enhance the tubing.

the slime was done w/ green clothing paint from Walmart. I finished the mod by ording custom case badges from Directron.

the entire case was then sealed w/ tripple thick clear coat from Krylon. oh, also, the fans, along w/ all the wires, were sleeved w/ Wirecare's "Orge" sleeving material. the fans were then routed to the fan controller by Sunbeam from Xoxide.com.

10/10 vote for me.very unique & nice case mod.
you really got talent..^_^

I like the idea of holding the res on the outside; it would look just as nice in a sleek case ;]
might look into it..

Rez/rad Outside Case.

ExavierI like the idea of holding the res on the outside; it would look just as nice in a sleek case ;]
might look into it..

I like the Invotech Tower Model, and I felt that it should be displayed. it also looks good w/ this case theme w/ the bubbling green liquid. at first I humg the radiator on the left side panel and I was gonna leave it like that. but it did look really stupid and ugly having this out-a-place big red thing hanging onto the case.

to mount the res ouside the case, I would suggest you use Quick Disconnects on the tubing running inside the case. this works well should you need to take the side panel off for fixes or upgrades. I really like my Koolance Quick Disconnects; now I can put the door out of my way and not having to station it near the case because of the tubing limitations.

Definate 10/10! It is obvious you put a lot of thought and time into the design and the build. Awesome job!

10/10 KL Case Ur GD

I voted 1/10 because:

not to bad

6/10 from me

Great specs!

well tbh, im a fan of grunge type fallouty-mad max like cases. This one I dont feel the jive. I can see that you were going for the toxic look. Its nice. but imo, I wouldnt want something like that on top of the desk ^^

cheers!

I know you from evga I believe, I wanted to buy one from ya but it was just damn too expensive. How much is it just for the case mod w/o the liquid nitrogen or other appliances?


Sickest case I've ever seen

MKmodsNow THIS is an "Artsy Fartsy" guy!
Well done!

I LOL'd

As for the rig... um... WOW... and eew!

10 from me just because... well... yeah, because.

Added Matching Monitor And Keyboard

I have painted and modded the keyboard and monitor to match the case. used same tech. as with the case; however, I added plastic 1/2 rounds from U.S. Plastics and painted them to look like rivets.
