Seeing the popularity of the Rocketfish Full tower case around the forums, I decided to look into this one for my dad, because of heat issues with his stock case. So I took a venture over to my local Best Buy to check it out. After about 30 minutes of looking over this case and chatting with friends, I headed home with the case.
First thoughts:
Once home I broke open the Rocketfish box...

Straight out of Guatemala City, Central America, brand new member Ulver.m may be new to the forums, but is not new to a paint gun. Starting with a Silverstone Tj07 Case, he has decided to give Project Acheron Iron Blood a very unique and dazzling paint job. After some choice cutting on the all aluminum case, it now has a custom top mounted blow hole and a personal logo vent on the side. Those may seem rather ordinary when it comes to mods, the paint is definately not!

Just about all PC modders know the name Thermaltake, a premier manufacturer of power supplies, cooling systems and PC cases. The hallmarks of Thermaltake products are ease of use, flexibility and killer good looks. The Thermaltake Lanbox Lite doesn’t disappoint in any of those areas. This case features a sleek piano-black finish, extremely well thought out design and enough eye candy to please even the most discriminating modder.

Bigger doesn't always mean better. Switzerland's own Dark~3nergy is proving that with his small form factor mod, Project: neophyte. Inspired by his favorite DJ, Dark~3nergy isn't just stopping at a cool design, but he's also scratch building the case from custom laser cut steel. As if the custom cut steel wasn't enough, red plexi and a watercooling loop -complete with a 9600GPU - are the icing on the cake of what is sure to be one spectacular mod.

Diving head first into his first major mod, Tavarin brings us “The System.” Inspired by great mods such as Doom 3 and Motorized Madness, he brings us his own designs with a scratch build. Tavarin used angle bar aluminum to form the shape of his case, which is very strong for framing. Stopping at nothing less than custom, Tavarin also drew up his on tribal designs for the side of his drive bays as well as his fan grill at the front of the case. Moving to the top of this beautiful case, Tavarin added his Zune dock into the top. He also raised the power supply to outside the case, giving it a unique shape and design. The front door and side panel are made from tinted acrylic, which allows the internals to be visible when the lights are on. The front door is also spring loaded, making it so it pops open for access to the optical drives. Check out the fine work Tavarin has put into this mod here!

A forum member of few words, Filimon has created some really dazzling pieces of computer art. This time he is working on a very unassuming Genius mouse, and giving the old steampunk treatment. With a mixture of brass, leather, mesh and some very exquisite details, the mouse would be more then at home on the world of Prester. Inspired by the series "Last Exile" the transformation is seen from the tip of the custom shrouded USB connector to custom display case. If you haven't had a chance to take a look at it, you better hurry before the Guild claim it for their own!

You may think you T1 line is fast, watch out! SGTM has informed us of..."THE GRID!".
A project started to help find the Higgs Boson (The worlds most elusive particle, which is what in theory, gives matter its mass.) The Grid allows data transfer of about ten-THOUSAND times faster then your average broadband connection. However, the real reason for the Grid was to help manage the amount of data that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produces.
The LHC is a large particle accelerator that is meant to probe the universe (Lets just hope the aliens don't find out we're probing them!). They found out they needed to start the Grid project due to the fact that the LHC has the ability to produce so much information, that the internet...would crash. Yes...you heard me correct. The internet as a whole is not able to handle the amount of information that the LHC can pump out. If this system of managing information does well for the LHC, expect to see it connect you to the world in the near future.

According to AMD, Chief Technology Officer Phil Hester has resigned from the company. Hester left IBM in 2005 to take the CTO position at AMD, during the success of the Optron Server processor. While Hester has been one of the overseers of the Quadcore Barcelona Server processor, most of his time has been devoted to the Fusion Project. The Barcelona chip has recently become available despite many technical issues.
It has been undisclosed if this is part of AMD's initiative to lay off 10% of its workforce, but as of yet, no replacement has been named. Furthermore there is talk that instead Hester's job responsibilities will be distributed amongst the current business units.

It seems that the good news doesn't stop around TBCS. We're excited and proud to congratulate Chimaera and his Mrs. Hatshepsut on the announcement of their pregnancy. Having never expected to conceive, the couple couldn't be happier right now and it just goes to show that you cannot tell a modder that anything is set in stone. Congratulations and best wishes!

Boddaker has brought us another masterpiece with his newest mod Battlestar Galactica. Based around a Stacker 830, this case is nowhere near stock. Bod has crafted several beautiful pieces including its landing bay area at the top of the case. A major eye catcher of this mod is its sliding blast doors in the side panel that open and close at the push of a button. The project is wrapping up nicely as the updates surface, and there are swarms of us BSG and Boddaker fans crowded at the finish line with our minds set to stunned.

For nearly a year now, Franklin has been working on his latest mod, Evolutionary. This mod was inspired by a friend of his saying that modding a case was easier than fabricating one from the ground up. Well, Franklin said "we'll just see about that" and got to work. Starting out with nothimg more than aluminum angle bar, this case is evolving into one incredible work of art. Do yourself a favor, and go check this one out, but take some advice and have someone there to pick your jaw up for you.

TribalOverkill's Liquid Evolution series
It's no secret that TribalOverkill has been pushing out some killer watercooling res's. He's got a worklog over 50 pages long, which is quickly approaching 70,000 views. His latest addition to the Liquid Evolution series has to be the coolest to date. Keeping with the TO standard, he's included polished aluminum brackets and accents, and a res cover that looks like something straight out of your favorite Sci-Fi movie. Apparrently, Tribal has something big in the works, but that's all we're allowed to know right now. We suppose you'll just have to keep an eye on the latest from TribalOverkill's Liquid Evolution series and wait with baited breath like the rest of us.
