Sleeving and interior

Everything in this mod was sleeved using the famous Murder Mod sleeving from MDPC-X. Many custom cables were also made such as the four PCI-E cables and also a hard drive power cable.

The modding didn't stop here though; while I was assembling the case many more things had to be made or modded including a custom hdd cage.

Details for me were crucial for this mod. I had to combine various shades of red along with materials such as wood, aluminium, steel and acrylic and also the ancient native indian art with technology. A lot of reading also took place in order to find the right symbols. In the end I even used the correct Cherokee alphabet and language so I could be as accurate as possible with the theme. I was amazed just how many different kinds of art went into the mod - four kinds of different varnishes, six different painting techniques, extensive pyrography, sculpting and hand painting to name a few.
