Atomic MOBY (2001) Way back in the year 2000 I saw my first computer case mod and decided to try doing it. I had already been building high end computers for myself and friends for a few years - being an artist modifying the enclosure seemed a natural progression, so I bought a Dremel and a high end aluminum case... this is where my modding started.

MOBY2 (2003) Atomic MOBY was all about excess, I overloaded that case full of everything available at the time but for the sequel I decided to tone it down while still staying true to the original. The mods performed to this case are some of the finest I have ever done, they required a lot of thought and planning to get everything to fit together properly... when I finished this mod I couldn't believe how quickly it all came together.

Project Lament: Cenobite PC (2005) After MOBY2 I was ready to try making a computer into something different, the HellRaiser Cenobite PC sculpture is as different as things get. I did not want to base the design on any of the existing HellRaiser characters and instead sketched out a design of what I imagined a case modder turned cenobite would look like. The machine is completely water-cooled with a ton of custom details and features including remote controlled animatronic UV eyes, 3D oven formed acrylic windows and a laser array shooting out of the head... yes, for real.

Project Lament II: Hellusion (2007) Originally titled "Hell's Illusion", this HellRaiser sequel mod took almost a year and a half to design and create, had I known starting out that it would take so long I probably wouldn't have done it at all - on the plus side I learned a lot during the build and it turned out great, so I figure it all evens out. The plan was to entirely conceal the computer through the inclusion of a cool illusion section inside a scratch built eight inch cube case... a worthy follow-up mod that runs silent, has two built in displays and wireless remote controlled internal lighting.
