I'll find time to take on the build, let's start a Master Component List based on what we have and what's still required. The Processor will come in very handy, thanks JB!

Let's also think about themes--my first vote is for WoW, even though I don't have the game I think it would be cool.

WoW themed would be pretty cool, and with your modding expertise, I'm sure that it will definately have it's share of niftyness.

If you need any information about WoW, I'm your man to ask, too =]

if you're thinking of the medieval type stuff... project offset is something to look at. im not sure if there are any really good pictures, but it seems to me there were a few good shots of stone architecture.

ive been following that game for a while now. its still in development, but it looks like a killer.

I dunno, ive already seen a couple WOW themed cases. Id like to see a case based on something futuristic... shaped like a mech from battlefield 2142. hmm?

You've already seen WoW themed mods? I'd be eager to see them, then =]

I loves me WoW.

Anywho, Almost anything would work. I mean, we're talking about the great Paul Capello, here. (Did I spell it right, Paul?)

Here's some ideas:

A devastated city themed mod, with semi-wrecked buildings on it and simulated flames and smoke
a game-themed mod, such as WoW as Paul suggested, perhaps any of the BF games, maybe something vague and unique like darwinia?
a hardware-themed mod, like make the computer put emphasis on or look like a single component or a few components


That should be plenty to mull around in your head for now.

Has anyone seen the "American Chopper: Eragon Bike" episodes yet? I was watching that today and had alot of inspiration come out of it that was computer related. Maybe do something like that? If Paul Capello has taken charge of building the case, then I say lets try and get the most out of him as this is a chance of a lifetime. After all, he IS Paul Capello! You would have to be an average human who doesn't know a lick about computers to not know that name!

Of course we should wait to see if the movie is a big success or not first. I thought doing a Narnia theme computer would be cool, but the movie was kind of disappointing. But if it is anything like Lord of the Rings then I think it would be a great foundation for a mod!

WoW would be a great theme for a computer mod. It's something that everyone knows and has a very high popularity rating. It also reaches out to a pretty wide range of age. 14-40. Out of the idea's so far, I say that one is the best so far and is most likely to be a sure fire win mod.

Well, I originally had a pretty neat idea for a case I was going to do, but the sheer amount of work to get it made is what put me off. I was thinking of a sort of cylindrical case. Its hard to describe. Ill have a go with google sketch up, see what I can do.

I'll start a new forum for this, and move this thread in there. It's a pretty big project, and now that Paul's at the head of construction, i'm willing to pul out all the stops and contact all the press (once things are underway) to make sure the highest amount of people know about it for the actual auction.

I don't think i've ever seen anything quite like this done before, it's a great idea. I'm looking forward to this!
