HYDROPOWER [2020]

I love building mods that have a retro, industrial, semi-steampunk feel to them. Within this design style I wanted the theme for this mod to center around water and electricity, while showcasing the water cooling components. I set out to make something that would not look like a computer, but rather some type of lab equipment that would be right at home in a post-apocalyptic underground laboratory.

I didn't want to have the peripherals look out of place with the custom mod, so I also customized the Monitor Stand, Headset, and made a custom aluminum board for the Mouse, Mousepad, and the programmable ControlPad. The fact that I chose to not use a standard keyboard I think adds to the intrigue of the project.
