Custom PC - UK (2020-07)

wrapped in vinyl. I took everything
apart to the very last screw, and
removed the drive cage from
inside the case, as it was a massive
obstruction for airflow.
I then cleaned the case and
started wrapping it. There was also
some existing damage on the case,
with a big crack in the window. I
didn’t like the window anyway, as
it made the case look asymmetrical,

so I replaced the window with a
new one made from 3mm clear
flat acrylic. I also created a stripe
of frosted foil across it, which
continues into a white stripe on the
case itself. I then sanded the sides
of that window slightly to make it
look weathered.
After that, I wrapped the whole
case and DVD drive, cleaned it with
alcohol and then started freestyling

the cel-shaded patterns with an

acrylic paint pen. The drive covers

are wrapped too, and the mesh

effect on them was created with a

needle, which involved a good half a

day of poking holes in covers!

When that was all done, I grabbed

a fairly old Lenovo multimedia

keyboard, took it apart, cleaned

it and wrapped it. I changed the

LEDs in the Num Lock, Caps Lock

and Scroll Lock keys to blue ones,

and every key is wrapped around

the sides with one continuous

strip of vinyl. I then recreated the

cel-shaded effect on the keyboard

in the same way as I did on the

case. I also did the same with the

mouse, which is a Dragonwar

Thor G9, and the monitor, which

is a 22in Fujitsu model in white

with an articulated stand.
