Being a big fan of necromancers and the fact that i havent seen a pc case modded around a guildwars theme i thought id have a go at modding.

I wanted a big case so i had plenty of room to play with, i managed to find a server case on ebay but to get it i had to buy the others as a job lot

When they arrived i found that i would need to do a bit of adjustment to get a standard motherboard to fit in it as these cases where made in like 1994!

After watching hours and hours american chopper and custom hotrod i thought i would give airbrushing ago, airbrushing came pretty easy as i found it was just like drawing so after about a month of cutting, grinding, spraying i have completed about 98% of it.

Watercooling/Factions side. After etching the skulls at the bottom of the window the top part looked a bit bare so i put the 15k barbedwire tats across the top of the windows.

Front. the case did have a touch screen diagnostics panel but i couldnt get that to work

so i put a necro character which glows green in its place.

Mobo/Guildwars Side. Only thing thats not in this picture that needs to be added is a necro character on the window panel underneath the skull.

When its all powered up it has a nice green glow, i just need to hook up the lcd on the top and capture some ingame footage to display on it.

That's the third best computer case I've ever seen.

The second best was a cardboard box.

The best one ever was...

Thanks for all the great feed back, im off to a big lan event on the 14th of this month and wanted to see what some guildwars players thought of it before i took it. Im thinking after ive had some rest of doing this case i might do another based on the all the characters but that will take some thinking and i will more than likely do it on a smaller case as these server cases weight a bomb.

I managed to get round to attaching the necro on the motherboard panel side.

Ill get some pics of it when its all powered up once i finish a few more little bits off.

Hey congrats on getting up on bit-tech.net. Awesome article and great pics there. I posted it on our homepage, just because it's so impressive. Great work!

And you know the best part was this:

"I watched hours and hours of American Chopper, Custom Bike Build Off. Anything to do with cars or spray painting on the Discovery Channel, I watched it. Then the reruns. Then the +1 (one hour time delayed broadcasts) to keep picking up tips. I’ve always been kind of arty. I used to draw quite a lot - it was my best GCSE with an A - the rest of them weren't too good. I’ve never carried on drawing since I left school, but I was inspired to start again for this case."

That's awesome that you basically self-taught yourself how to airbrush!

Thanks for all the great feedback, i was really supprised at the lan when the guys from bit-tech came along and asked me could they feature it on there site, plus its going to be featured in Custom Pc Magazine next month which was also very cool as ive won some top computer stuff

Ive been asked by a few peeps to do some cases, one of which saw my case at the lan and wants an elemental character on there case which im doing some designs for at the moment on some old case panels.

Im still thinking about making another guildwars case for myself but on a small size case.

heres one of the airbrush test of the ele picture, tell me what you think.

Incredible. o_o

On the ele however, the hair is bothering me. It's a little too stringy. Maybe if you worked more in blocks of graded color, and less in lines, it might help? I don't know how airbrushing works, so I'm just throwing out a suggestion... :|
