HardOCP forum member CrazyLefty modded his gaming PC’s tower to make a legendary item. He and his wife made it look like it came straight out of Borderlands 2. It’s brightly colored, filled with dents and grime and even has a cel-shaded look.
The tower is a Cooler Master HAF 932. CrazyLefty applied white and black primer, a metallic gray coat, a yellow coat and a white stripe. Then his wife used a black Sharpie to create the convincing cel-shaded effect. Then they used a hammer and a Dremel to grind and dent the case. As a final touch, CrazyLefty added a few rivets on one side of the case. They also made a carrying case for his keyboard and made it look like a DAHL dumpster. He said they used ketchup, tea and coffee grinds to give the case a fresh Pandora look. And stench.
Fast Travel to CrazyLefty’s thread on HardOCP to see more pictures of the case.

The Ultimate Loot Chest pre-order bundle for Borderlands 2 has become a sought after items among fans of the franchise because of the titular container. The remaining units of the bundle are selling for way higher than its original price of $150. Luckily for fans Gearbox has stepped in with another bundle that includes a loot chest.
The new Borderlands 2 Diamond Plate Loot Chest doesn’t come with a copy of the game, but it makes up for it with a ton of other goodies, including a replica of the Goliath mask, a code for an in-game Goliath head so your characters can match your new gear, 20 cards with codes for Legendary items, four Wanted posters featuring the playable characters, window decals featuring the weapon manufacturers and of course the sweet loot chest itself.
The bundle will be sold at ThinkGeek, at the Gearbox shop and at Forbidden Planet for $100 (USD) starting June 2013. It’s limited to just 5,000 copies so make sure to keep an eye out for it if you want one. It would’ve been more considerate of Gearbox if they just mass produced the loot chest, but I guess this is better than nothing. As Travis B mentioned in the comments, Gearbox will mass produce this bundle. The only thing that’s unique to the first 5,000 units will be the certificate of authenticity. Thanks for the heads up Travis B!
