"Building Better Worlds"

Ready for Battle

Deets

The mod was meant as a straight-forward mod. It is mostly dress-up/paint/etc. This case is used for my tote-around LAN system using older hardware I had laying around. The mod theme is based around the film series of “Aliens”; this time the favorite ominous “Company” that is repeatedly sited throughout the films in the series. Weyland-Yutani Corp.; “Building Better Worlds”!

The plan from the start was to make the case look like some kind of company terminal/workstation with a hint of sarcasm for good measure in regards to colors chosen. The entire chassis was powder-coated by myself, including all other work. All acrylic work was digitally designed and lasercut by myself as well; being a graphic designer by trade this was an easy step.
