Following the CoolerMaster Case Mod World Series, we've decided to highlight some of the entries we felt up mightiness've been overlooked. These designs whitethorn not have North Korean won any prizes due to their being not the just about matter-of-fact, or esthetically pleasing, but there's peerless thing they throw in common: they're so damn extra.

Present are our upside picks, the ones that caught our eye during judging, along with whatever exclusive comments from the modders themselves. They've been kind enough to give a little insight into the ideas behind their designs, and how the process went A a complete.

Lets take a deep dive into any of the incredible innovations we spotted, then.

The conception round this one and only is simple, IT's a computer... in a shoe. What's not to love?

We were told this one took around 10 weeks from purpose through to completion, with two weeks for the 3D modelling, two for 3D impression, and deuce for jamming it all at once.

JDMF successful IT clear they'd love to have enclosed more than patterning and nicer colours, but I like IT just the way information technology is. It's already complex decent, and having run into much trouble bending the water tubes around inside such a smaller cause, there was probably little time for intricate patterns.

The modder speculated on potential drop designs for close year's contest: "I retrieve there will make up a bow. Operating room peradventur it's the body parts of a robot." I'd like to undergo both, honestly. I'm secure they could hold that.

An awesome, sci-fi design that's a "criticism of humans whose ability to adapt to their habitat is decreasing."

Daguar told us the Survivor fashionable took some eight weeks to complete, with a best four of those dedicated just to first sketches and vector drawing for CNC press clipping. That's the remaining four to start out wholly those parts together, painted, and working. Impressive shove. They also explained that "the chief technical problem is the mensuration," because if you measure it unseasonable you've got a solid load of backtracking to make.

Sadly the legs for this design were a little weak but, unless you're a house-trained engineer or complete designer, calculation out weighting bearing can be super tricky. IT's an awesome build either way, and the designer also has plans for a CoolerMaster Masteride motortruck inspired modern. They're just wait for the right time to get it done.

Look out for it in next yr's repugn, perhaps.

This one, inspired by the Arasaka Mantis Blades of Cyberpunk 2077, was conceptualised way ahead the game came out. A whopping six months were dedicated to research after the initial theme was cemented, and the modding itself took around three months. Almost two thirds of the modding prison term was in reality obsessed by house painting exclusively, and it really shows. The worn edges make it feel like it's come straight out of the game.

There were roughly redesigns throughout, ascribable "appearance and mental synthesis failure," which involved atomic number 75-printing a bunch of parts. Goes to show how oversight bathroom cost you big time, but they unruffled managed to puzzle something out that's utterly immense. Predictable information technology didn't have all the moving parts the modder wanted to include, but their work has landed them mellifluous gigs with CoolerMaster, modding a wall project for the company's young office. Well deserved, I aver.

The Dino Grimlock stylish is and so ridiculous I had to mention it. 15-year-secondhand, metalhead me would've been all over this one.

Inspired by Grimlock from Transformers, leader of the Dinobots, these modders apparently worked "24/7 starting from December 18 until January 28." That's some real dedication. The bod was affected heavily by the lockdown, and the resulting material shortages saw the design having to exist built from sintraboard PVC sheets, rather than acrylic as planned. Not as sturdy as they would've hoped but it unmoving came out looking metal-looking as heck.

What's really good about the plan is that they worked in stemma with the 4 R's: reuse, thin, recycle, and refuse. Sol not only did they make something super badass, they did so with the environment in mind. Extolment.
