Default [Completed] The Intelligence

The Intelligence
The Intelligence - by CattleRustler - July-December 2008
1st Place - OCN X-MAS 2008 Mod Of The Month


COMPLETE




Goal: Build a fully functional atx pc into this case, yet have the case look exactly like it does in the game Team Fortress 2. The case will stand upright like a regular pc case, or can lay flat as pictured below. Also it will be inherently transportable



Starting Case: A Zero-Halliburton Tempered Aluminum camera equipment case, 13 x 21 x 7.5 snagged off of ebay







thanks for watching
