Description
A friend of mine was in need of a new computer, and is a huge fan of Borderlands. Her birthday was coming up, and to treat herself she was buying a new computer in the ~$500 range. Since it was her birthday, I decided to paint her an awesome computer tower.
Using a Bitfenix Prodigy as the base I designed a Maliwan-inspired custom paint job for her case. It was also my first experience with painting a computer. Now, its about 95% done, the only thing left is to apply the maliwan logo and hexagon pattern to the sides, which are being cut as we speak. I had to ship it to her before I got the chance to apply them, but I will be visiting and hopefully doing so in the near future.
