The Liquid Metal Cube is by far my favorite mod and the inspiration for Project13. If I could go back I would have made two of these. One for sapphire and one for myself.

Basically I made this rig for Sapphire to show off the Liquid Metal “Blizzard” Cooler they were going to unveil at E3. well things didn’t go as planned and the Cooler wasn’t liquid metal but water, and it wasn’t “Blizzard” it was “Toxic”. At least the rig turned out OK LOL.

I designed it to fit the two themes “Liquid Metal” and “Blizzard”. The case is made of Reflective security Plex allowing you to only see the outside of the case when there is exterior lighting. When in a well lit area it looks like a highly polished metal case. However, when the case is powered up the internal lighting gives the appearance of an ice cube.

To achieve this effect I added some frosted vinyl inside to give the impression of icing. Also it covers up all the workings underneath. Fan blow holes were Custom lasered to look like snowflakes and Everything was built from the ground up to follow the theme.
