That is a really nice mod, however I must admit I prefer Mars City. It's amazing the extent that some people go to to make these things. I would never have the time, nor effort to make something like that. (Well I would have the effort, just not the time or patience.) And it's projects like that, that seperate the boys from the men.

That mod is really cool! A lot of detail and the "rust" was very well done. Interesting keyboard mod. I wonder how he did that? Not sure if I would like to place my hands on that mouse; doesn't look too comfortable.

I must agree with purdy. That case is extremely nice, but the Doom 3 mod was in a complete other league.

that mod put me modding, when I saw that one I wanted that too. Obviously it'll take a long time before I can mod like that...

but I _do_ think everybody can pull off a real nice mod, If you only have enough time, money and patience...
Oh yeah, experience also helps;)

My favorite so far is a worklog here actually.
HPRES server by Defyant.

It might take an hour or so to go through the whole worklog but to see it from the original crap HP case and come out the way it did just blows me away. 2 words: bondo master.

I agree with this statement. Doom 3 is in my opinion the best case ever made.

...why is no-one laughing?

Yeah, the Half Life 2 was way out of its (Mars City's) league in detail and quality, but they are the same type of case mod: "Very Detailed, Game-Based" mod.

As for me:
A while a ago I saw this one really sweet mod on some russian site, it had dual remote-controlled LCD Monitors coming off the back. It was a streamlined desktop case with a really nice window. It sorda looked like the front end of a sports card (without the tails and tires) He had a cover over the components like on HP-Res by defyant, and by doing so he was able to make to watercooling pipes look symmetrical. It had UV lighting and custom LEDs in the fans: each fan had blue, purple, red and orange. It had a slot loading DVD drive that popped out the side of the case with press of a button...

There was probably more to it, but thats all I could see from the picture, and I couldn't read it because it was russian. :rolleyes: If anyone has seen this before, let me know, I never bookmarked it. Im not saying this was better than Mars city, I just like it more... :)

I'm really impressed with both the HL2 and Doom 3 cases, but the technical side of Crimson's just puts it ahead of anything I've seen. Artistically I think they're both very close to even, but the sheer amount of electronics built in to the Doom 3 one pushes it ahead for me.

the 2 mods mentioned (Doom 3 mars city and Half-life 2) are really out there.
Willettfx's monster mod (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=979) is also a very complex mod.
Here's a couple mods that caught my eye.
1- H2O reactor at http://www.melloman.li/
The site is in lithuania (I think)
You have to click "projeckte" and then click "H2O reactor"
The site wasn't very far last I looked but the machine looked very futuristic.

2 - KANA (http://www011.upp.so-net.ne.jp/kat2/pc/ern005/ekana.htm)
3- Crazybillybob's r2d2 mod

heck there are so many (http://www.neatorama.com/case-mod/index.php) how can you pick just one?

A thread where everyones kissin' my ass!! aw how nice! lol j/k
But yes everyone must bow down to the awesome modding skills of Crimson Sky.
I have to say Mars City is my favorite, its the one that got me into modding.

Put it like this; most of the people on these forums, joined these forums because of the doom 3 computer and worklog. If you went over to Gruntville, it might be a different mod alltogether.

Willetfx's mod is amazing but as of yet unfinished-i can't wait to see it completed. The H20 Reactor mod is intense-i've seen that one before. But i've seen the odd mod out there that you see then forget about that are really something special...can't even think of one off the top of my head. I love CrazyBillyBob's R2D2 mod, simply for the attention to detail and effort that's went into it.
