Alien Case Mod

Posted by michael on from the face-hugger dept.

    This is the single most inspired and creative case mod I have ever seen. I see some posts from people scorning it. Maybe you would not want to own one, but that's only because it would be better off in a museum or something.

  2. It's art, damn it... by ndogg · · Score: 4, Interesting

    So what if it's not "functional" or seems "pointless." So what if it "goes over the top" for case modding. It's supposed to be art, which is the point of most case modding. If case modding was meant to be functional, the most we would ever do is add a few fans to our cases or some other such piece of hardware. The bland tan colored boxes wouldn't bother us.

    Judge it for its aesthetic appeal, not for its functionalness or whether or not you would want to buy it (even if you did want to, I would doubt you would be able to.) Judging it by any other context is off topic.
