HardOCP forum member CrazyLefty modded his gaming PC’s tower to make a legendary item. He and his wife made it look like it came straight out of Borderlands 2. It’s brightly colored, filled with dents and grime and even has a cel-shaded look.
The tower is a Cooler Master HAF 932. CrazyLefty applied white and black primer, a metallic gray coat, a yellow coat and a white stripe. Then his wife used a black Sharpie to create the convincing cel-shaded effect. Then they used a hammer and a Dremel to grind and dent the case. As a final touch, CrazyLefty added a few rivets on one side of the case. They also made a carrying case for his keyboard and made it look like a DAHL dumpster. He said they used ketchup, tea and coffee grinds to give the case a fresh Pandora look. And stench.
Fast Travel to CrazyLefty’s thread on HardOCP to see more pictures of the case.
