Fallout PC Case Mod: Tech from the Wasteland

This Fallout 3 PC case mod is ridiculously authentic looking. I mean sure, it’s not as portable as a Pip-Boy 3000, but still – it’s a pretty beautiful piece of nerd created gear in honor of a fantastic game.

And yes it was from Quakecon last year, so it isn’t new, but I don’t care. Its creator, DeWayne “Americanfreak” Carel did an amazing job, and you need to feast your eyes on it. One of the major benefits of a Fallout case mod is that if it gets dirty, who cares? It’s not like you can tell.

Now I just wish I had one and feel nothing but sadness.
