This is just too great! It's tied with the Unforgiven Metallica Build for my favourite!

I had the same question. I just figure he went and asked them if they would sponsor.

You sure it is that simple? ._.

Maybe. You could send an email to various businesses and hope for the best. Maybe some renown helps in it too though. I'm just assuming though so don't take my word for it.

Wow! This is AWESOME!

 

Thank you. :)

Thanks! :D

 ;) Thank you.

Start building. If you are new to PC modding, do not ask for it. They are the one who will look for you. In addition, Modding isn't about the latest hardware nor the most expensive ones. It is all about the design, the quality, and the attitude of the modder. 

 

This is crazy

Crazy is good.

 

Thanks, evilHamsterzZz! :)

Sorry, I spent the last 4 weeks on modding and finishing the project instead of taking lots of photos for the work log. Here are some of the photos together with explanations. I'am a student and working at the same time. I only have few hours a day and few days a week to mod. I cant really spend my time taking photos instead. Maybe on my project, ill share more of my worklog. I wish I have a buddy who can do all the photography for me. lol. Anyway, enjoy the photos. Tools used : Jigsaw, Rotary tool, different sizes of bits, router, metal saw, and etc. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you!

Good Lord!

 

Almost voted for Msidia but then I realized yours is the best because it isn't too flashy and it is done amazingly well.
