Thread: 8bit White Mage PC

    Default 8bit White Mage PC

    Hey, back with another 8bit mod .



    As usual, I have a time lapse video of the mod here and have some pictures of the build process as I went.

    My Goals for the mod:
    Get the Black Mage a partner in crime.

    I went to PAX EAST in 2010 and I placed in the case mod competition and CPU Magazine/Intel gave me these parts for winning and I used them for my next mod

    The parts:

    -DP55SB intel extreme motherboard
    -I7 680 processor
    -40gb SSD

    I added:
    -Radeon 5850
    -4gb DDR3
    -Modular PSU

    I plan to bring it with me to PAX 2011

    So here are the pics I have:

    Where it all begins


    I added acrylic bits to this mod

    Heres the back with mobo in place

    Love it, your black mage was one of the first logs I saw when you did it I love the lighting effect on the new one, couldn't have turned out better, and the toadstool is neat too! Never saw that one before... How about the next project being one of the epic bosses that everyone would recognise? I've not played for ages so don't know what they'd be but maybe worth a look

    Another awesome build! One of my all time favorite games. Out of curiosity what material did you use for the lit areas?

    Thanks Munty, Havent figured out what the next mod is just yet.

    @msmrx
    I went to a nearby plastic company in the area and requested 150 1x1x.5 inch blocks. They are acryllic and I had to manually frost them myself but it came out pretty good

    I want to do a all acryllic 8-bit Metroid next but the acryllic is very expensive (50 cent a cube compared to wood being less than 1 cent a cube)

    That's kind of what I figured and why I asked. It does create an awesome effect though.
