I would like to introduce you to the Vault Boy, a Fallout inspired build.

 

For those of you who haven't seen it before, I have been working on this Bitfenix Prodigy case from about 2 months now over in the modding section. The case is now pretty much complete and I will be starting the build process pretty soon. If you want to see how the case ended up the way it looks now head over to my thread in the modding section here.

 

Firstly I'm gonna let you guys know the purpose of this build as I already have another pretty functional one lol. I'm gonna be using this in my bedroom as a HTPC and for console like gaming, meaning mostly games that you can play with a controller. So pretty much HTPC / Steam Box. However once it's done I will be using it as my main rig while I revamp the other one with some modifications to the case, haven't really decided what exactly yet. Also another reason I started this was because I just wanted to do some case modding for the first time and I gotta tell you it has been a joy working on this. I went with a Fallout theme and mostly with the vault boy because Fallout 3 is my all time favorite game and also I just wanted something different. Most mods for this case have been inspired by Singularity Computers.

 

Now, what has started as just a case modding project has turned into an actual build sooner than I thought it would.

 

Anyways enough about that, here are the SPECS:

I think a yellow or white '101' on the side would complete it IMO.

 

Nice build :)

 

Thank you :). Yup I will be getting some custom vinyl stickers, haven't really decided what and where yet, definitely gotta have 101 somewhere

This looks great so far, I commend the tight looking work.

 

Those white LED's will bring a lot of life to the great internal paint job, cabling and hardware. The carbon fiber accents help to define a hard edge as well to compliment the high contrast color. I look forward to seeing this progress.

Hey guys!

Sorry I don't really have an update yet. Nothing much has been happening since I finished the case. I did receive some components that I can show off but I didn't have time to take some pictures of them due to working all weekend. I also bought one of those photo cube tents so I might wait for that to arrive and take some cool shots of the components in it :D

 

Thanks for the kind words and for showing interest in my build!

 

Stay tuned :P

Actually I wouldn't mind doing a meet up given that I'm not from Australia originally and I don't really know anyone interested in PCs like I am lol. And I could also take some fancy shots of your build :P
