Hailing from the United Kingdom, master modder Richi 'rchiileea+richi' Bowzer has been selected as one of seven modders to go head to head with other big names that TweakTown has already covered in Thermaltake's caseMOD invitational competition - check out Stuart Tonks (AUS) and Fabio Moma (JP).
Looking a little different from most mods you will see in this day and age, Bowzer quotes his expansive computer history as part of his modding know-how, stating "how old am I? well old enough to know you can run a AMD K2 without a heat sink for a few minutes, and to also know a small company called abit only released mobos with German translated manuals" all while navigating through a dial-up connection.
Popular Now: PS5 emulator running GTA 5 shows GTA 6 might be possible on PC before official releaseWith the theme of this case being titled as 'Illusionist', Bowzer has gone about integrating the Thermaltake Core X9 case on offer with a fancy painted color scheme coupled with a cool 16GB of Avexir Blitz 1.1 RAM.
As you can see from the images above and below, all care has been taken when designing the exterior of this case - but it is worth pointing out that a custom printed CPU water block has also been designed.
To top it all off, this is one of few world-class mods we have seen recently with AMD gear integrated within, it's always nice to see something a little different on the field.
The basic components list is as follows:
- Case - Thermaltake Core X9
- CPU - Intel i5 4690
- Motherboard - GIGABYTE Z97MX-Gaming 5
- Graphics - XFX R290X
- Memory - 4 x 4Gb Avexir Blitz 1.1 - 1600mhz
- Hard Drives - 2 x 240 Gb OCZ Vector 150 SSD's
