The side panel mural was hand airbrushed by Brad Galvin.

The Chinese Dragon guarding the rear of the PC was laser cut from 3/16″ thick Steel. The Custom vents with Round Modder’s Mesh were added to the side of top cover. The shattered glass effect was created with Blue Transparent Acrylic Sheet. The embedded bullets are real .45 caliber Hornady XTPs. The modified 5.25 bay fan controller is the NZXT Sentry Mesh.

Yes! A mod with an air cooler. I don’t know why more people aren’t doing this. I know I am.
Most of the “mods” I’ve seen lately consist of some noob cramming a water cooling loop inside his coolermaster case with a CCFL and calling it a mod.
Regarding this mod, do you worry much about licensing issues, and more to the point should I worry? Ever hear of anyone having a problem over licensing with a mod?
I have a Steeler mod underway and I have concerns about what Logos etc. I should avoid using.
Thanks for having a presence at CES, Bill. As I’m sure you’re aware, the desktop is a dying breed as mobility is king. The only way to keep it alive is through our craft and by building machines that are supremely more capable than anything with a battery.

Thank you! Must say I was amazed at how many People at CES had just discovered Desktop PC building & Modding. It appears to be alive and well throughout the world from my viewpoint. As for licensing, the build was a “tribute” and not being mass produced for retail. If I made several and listed them for sale, then a judge may issue a cease-and-desist order with the intent to halt an illegal activity.

Yeah, my mods aren’t for profit but but I am def interested in winning contests and I believe this one will be mag worthy. I am planning on contacting the Steelers head office.
