Yeah, some of EA’s recent actions might have some of us scratching our heads, but c’mon – Battlefield 3 is Battlefield 3. You can’t deny that it’s going to be huge. To commemorate the game’s launch on October 25th, Bill Owen and the crew at MNPCTech – the very same folks who made the super-spiffy Star Trek PC earlier this year – slapped together a badass BF3 case mod.
You can see a step-by-step log of the build over at the Case Mod Blog, but here’s a quick rundown: the guys started with one of Fractal Design’s Arc Mid tower cases, then stripped it down and covered every in of it in camouflage paint – even the interior. They added some recessed handles accented by chrome diamond plate to make it both portable and rugged looking, then got down to the fun stuff. Airbrush master Brad Galvin created a “peeled-back” look on the side of the rig, then painted BF3’s glowing soldier image coming out of it. They then finished things up to using a Dremel to add bullet holes to the acrylic panel on one side of the machine.
It came out awesome. Again, check out the Case Mod Blog for a ton of step-by-step pics.

@DJAlmix, it's field equipment, not a uniform.
@Nimrod, Yep, it was done freehand... we made video of the entire project will be out in couple weeks on Mnpctech's YouTube channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/MonsterMawd

Gah! Whoever paid for this didn't even both to get the right freaking camo! WHERE'S THE ACU?

What a waste of time and money. Why not put that effort into the interior workings instead.

Typo in the 3rd sentence: October 25th is the release date.

I like it a lot. But trust me, he did not free hand the soldier! :P

It does look great but I've always felt case art based on a game is sort of dumb. Would you be proud to show off your Call of Duty 4 themed case today? Not really. You could have the latest and greatest hardware upgrades inside but the case art would still be dated.
