case mods

Many of the case mods we come across are intricate and packed with custom lighting and other geeky flourished. This case made take an opposite approach, combining aluminum and walnut to create a sleek and stunning living-room friendly HTPC case.

Over in the Bit-Tech case modding forums, user Gtek shares his stunning case mod. Inside the block of aluminum and walnut you see here is a mini-ATC board, power supply, dual hard drives, and an optical drive. A single photo can’t do it justice so we highly recommend hitting up the link below to check out his sketches, build photos, and, of course, the gorgeous photos of the completed case–including the hidden peripheral panel and slot-loading drive.
