It has been a while since I revisisted my first Lian Li worklog, Princess Lili. You can visit her here and here. Since all people evolve over time, I would like to have my maturity as an enthusiast be reflected in one of my first serious mods. As a reflection of me, I have decided to have Twilight Princes Lili evolve into Gaia, the Greek mythology figure of Mother Earth/Nature.
For this project that I am planning on a Mother Nature theme. The interior of the case will be powder coated metallic fluorescent green and the outside will remain black but will have an brush image of a beautiful naked goddess hugging a tree to cover her parts obviously, with her forest green hair wrapped around the case like vines (I'm thinking like the nymph from The Witcher). On the motherboard side's panel, there will be an airbrushed Earth with the vines around it. The interior will have liquid cooling with bright green water under UV lights as well as green UV sleeving to simulate interior vines.
