Customisation is key when it comes to PC gaming and that goes doubly hard for cases. Once all the hardware is sorted, it's time to find something glorious to jam it all into. Now this can of course be something nice and sleek, with low profile and excellent cooling - In fact, we have a tonne of suggestions for cases like that. Or you could just make a dinosaur.

Last year we were left agape looking at the creations out of the Case Mod World Series. People from all over the world came together to compete with their amazing case designs including things like a sneaker PC case, and also the most ridiculous and bad ass Dino Grimlock mode you've ever seen. Quite possibly the only one you've ever seen, too.

The Grimlock case from last year was made by Ed Mod Craft and it's a spiky badass metal monstrosity in all the best ways. It's incredibly metal, and also was made with the 4 R's (reuse, reduce, recycle, and refuse) in mind. Sustainably sick, and they're doing it again.

Best CPU cooler: keep your chip chilled in style
Best PC fans: super-silent and plastered in RGB
Best PC cases: big, little, and everything in-between.

The concept shows a somewhat chibified proportion of a metal clad winged figure, complete with bird like cowl. It's very cool, but based on the picture alone you'd be hard pressed to see it as a case, rather it looks like sweet toy or action figure. Just what we expect from the folks behind a hardcore metal dinobot.

Things get even crazier when you see some of the other progress images that are being shown off. The metal skeleton structure for the piece appears to be mostly in place, and it looks huge. This is certainly no mini-ITX build going on. Rather, eyeballing it this unit looks easily over a metre tall, maybe closer to 1.5 or taller. It's going to be a huge metal beast and I can't wait to see how it turns out,

There are several categories such as best tower mod, best scratch build, and best use of reusable materials. Each have their own prize pools and rules, so head on over to the official website to check it out.

Since then, she’s talked far too much about games and tech for publications such as Techlife, Byteside, IGN, and GameSpot. Of course there’s also here at PC Gamer, where she gets to indulge her inner hardware nerd with news and reviews. You can usually find Hope fawning over some art, tech, or likely a wonderful combination of them both and where relevant she’ll share them with you here. When she’s not writing about the amazing creations of others, she’s working on what she hopes will one day be her own.

No, she’s not kidding.
