Build of the week: Venom

Features
By James Davenport published 7 December 2015

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

Venom is the latest ooey-gooey, sticky, sweet build from renowned modder Ronnie Hara, who's know for his detail work. Using the infamous Spider-man baddie Venom as a template for the build, he pulled out the sinister, sharp look of the character and channeled it into a gorgeous case mod. The case definitely captures most of Venom's essence, though it's sadly missing Venom's signature tongue. Who really wants a slobbery PC, anyway.

Hara doesn't stop at the chassis: he even pulled apart a pair of headphones, a mouse, and a keyboard, giving them a similar black and white color scheme in order to drive the concept home. Our favorite touch, though, is on the inside: the Venom logo mounted on the CPU cooler.

Congrats on the build, Ronnie! Let us know when the 90s-themed Carnage rig shows up (though we're holding out for a pelt-wearing Kraven the PC).

For more pictures and details, check out Ronnie's build log or Facebook page.
