about

Frank started out as an upgrade in Feb of 2011 - until November 1 when I finally finished him "Officially" - Frank has gone through a ton of hardware, color/contrast changes over the months and I have spent countless hours building, tweaking, perfecting and detailed him out. Frank is a beast in his own right - however this project went beyond the confines of just the case - the entire office got a make over to match the PC color scheme and color coordinate with it all. The Keyboard, mouse, Koolance ERM unit and everything was either purchased for the colors/performance or was modded to work.

      lol, Frank has this effect on MAC users - my business partner is a MAC user but can still appreciate and enjoy everything "Frank" (the PC) is.

    Great work on the PC, and room theme, black and red always look great. I am a PC builder myself and appreciate the time, thought and money that went into this unit, great work.

      TY - yes a lot of time and effort and planning went into this room/PC build. The details in the PC are the most extreme I have ever gone in a build, it just spilled over to the room
