WMD Part II by G-gnome

Simply the single best case mod in the short but exciting history of scene period. Gnome is THE pioneer and has just raised the bar to new and exciting heights.

I bet "they" will take you down, call the bombsquad and evacuate the airport (not to mention the whole damn city). And dont even mention the name "Weapon of Mass Destruction" when "they" interogate you. Because then you would problerly end up with a waterhose put into your behind.

Waterhoses and behinds aside, the excess baggage charges for the weight would kill me! I weigh it in Part-III. It's amusing. :)

MNPCtechs name is Bill Owen, not Bill Phillips. :)

Just gave it a quick read as I have to get my ass to work now... :(
What I saw was at least.

That sums it up for me.

It's taken me 3 or so. Not that I'm a slow reader, just I've had to fit it in with work...

So much attention to detail, it's amazing. I was puzzled when I first saw this shot:

For a minute there, I thought you were watercooling your USB ports.

One question for G-gnome - what is your day-to-day job? As with skills like that you could easily be making a set-piece for the next Mission Impossible or 24...

Superb nice work :)

Seriously, this is art, not modding.

more like PORN this should have an adult only rating

Now there's a bizzare concept!

Soooo happy to see this thing revived, simply a work of art rendered in steel.

Great write up!

That is all.

Actually I probably just failed General Studies because I was reading this rather than revising. Pointless subject...[/OT]

Well, like everyone else said,

great work as ever G-Gnome! The attention to detail is fantastic
as is:

Front page of digg!!... anyway, great work man i love the timer! keep it up!

incredible work - utterly amazing

Im speechless, I worship you man, it's just so beautiful.

This Guy is a god among modders, I bow down to your skill

*speachless* :D

damn that is so sweet, 1 of the most impressive works i seen in this genre.

I'm almost at a loss for words.

I love the way you didn't make everything symetrical, this way it tends to add some realism to the project.

My only concern is the size of the timer, as you say it dominates the front, maybe just a tad too much.

I must say I am somewhat in awe of this project.

Awesome! Been waiting for part 2 for so long now :)
Thank you G-gnome :D

Darnn! This case, as I don't call it a mod anymore, is really really awsome!! Have been waiting for ever for this to finally hit the Bit-Tech site! And ow my god, it was really worth waiting for!! Big complimend on your work with the stainless steel, i know it is a real hard material to work with.

You told about using a center for all the holes. I messed up several pieces of stainless steel because I used a center and hitt it to hard so the steel becomes so hard that is is almost impossible to drill. One aditions is using special drilling/cutting flued. This will help a bit but is smells nasty!

Also great work with the keypad. Givin' the keypad that special tutch to really make it stand out! And the key, really cool!!

One thing I also liked was the special made VGA card cooler! Really cool they made a special one for your project! Thats really sponsorship and support!
Only the hdd coolers you use for the PSU's? Why not bring them to a local anodising shop and also get them in red!! Should look really in theme with the rest off the mod. You could also strip them frome the blue collor and dye them red.

The ammount of detail is also really mind blowing. Even the cable bay and how you will connect the connectors to the mobo! I really like that kind of attention to detail!
And what a nice colour theme!! Really cool.

Was ORAC a new source off insperation for the modding community and can't discribe the impact of this case/mod!! Mind Blowing ;)

Great Job G-gnome :D

it was definately worth the wait, the quality of yuor work is unsurpassed, you ARE the best case modder in the world, bar none

I loved reading this one, so much excellent work and attention to detail. Now I can't wait for Part III. I want to see a video of it all lit up and humming :D

This just blew me away ;)

I really like all the detail you put in this case. The key you made in the end just shows off, that you thoght about everything.
