ASTARTES

I present Project Astartes, a Warhammer 40,000 themed build.
I took and old Thermaltake V21 case and turned it into a Monastery for Sanguinius, and I have to say, I think he'd be proud.
I learned SO MUCH from painting the minis that it translated well to the case itself. Lemme just say, slap-chopping works.
From building entirely new door panels to making my very first dice tray from leather, felt, and steel(which can be removed to reveal a window), I doubt I'll be able to top this one any time soon, even when compared to my recent stuff.
