Note: As the infamous PC modder Boddaker builds the ultimate Battlefield/COD PC, we continue to document the whole process. He finally reveals one of the surprise elements of this military-themed PC mod.
Hi, it’s Boddaker here.
There was alot more progress done this week, as I received most of the parts I need to start working on the actual mod.
Here’s a shot of most of the basic PC components I received in the mail over the last couple of weeks. Thanks to Origin PC, the CoolerMaster case will be decked out like a monster. And see the two Radeon HD 6970 graphics cards? Yes, this is going to be a BEAST of a machine.
As a modder, I like custom building as much as I can. I bought some acrylic tubes which were cut and sanded down to fit the design I’m going for.
Why do I need acrylic tubes? Can you take a guess?
If you guessed ‘minigun’, then you are correct! Sorry, you don’t get any prize. Well… unless you entered the contest to win this PC!
Here’s the full frontal view of the minigun mounted in the case. The minigun is centered above the 200mm fan. Give the way the minigun is placed, I’m having a custom target fan grill made that will mount over the fan.
Next week, we’ll have a better idea of which game (either Battlefield 3 or Modern Warfare 3) is going to win the promotion – which means we’ll know which theme to use for the case.

I’m not sure, but that doesn’t look like 5,000 dollars worth of stuff
ZOMG! all I can say, nice work!
