CPU Magazine asked me if I would make a case mod for them to give away at QuakeCon 2006 and well how could I say no…lol. After looking at the case I was given and thinking why it was being built (QuakeCon) it was obvious that I should do something about the new id game coming out… Enemy Territory:Quake Wars. So after tracking down some screenshots and looking thru them I stumbled upon the answer.

Cooler Master for the Ammo 533 case, Musketeer 3, and fans

Ultra Products for another “One of” power supply.

Crucial for the 4gigs of Ballistix Tracer Ram

Razer for the Copperhead mouse, eXactMat, an Armadillo cord holder

AMD for the FX-62

Asus for the M2N32-SLI Deluxe

Sapphiretech for the X1900XTX 512MB Video Card

Logitech for the G-15 Keyboard

After building this is mod Cooler Master like it so much that they wanted one for them. I told that I would not make another like this but I would make something like it, thus the Military Radio was made.

I took a old Casio cash register and put a computer into it. The motherboard is a Asus P5A-B socket 7 with a AMD K6-2 running at 400mhz and 512mg of PC100 memory. Where the printing assembly was located is now a 92mm intake fan cooling the PCI slot area. The HDD, CD-RW is located in the cash drawer. The power supply is a 300 watt Raidmax that is located behind the window where the sales total was shown. It’s painted a Ford truck Metallic Green. The keyboard section has been redone to look like a regular computer keyboard. One key has a LED for the CD activity light and tray open and close when pushed. It is setup with a wireless keyboard and mouse. It has Smoothwall installed for the home network firewall.
