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

    I really love what you have done to this PC! It looks serious kick ass :) However what have you used to keep the cables in flat rows like that? It looks really neat, is it cable ties or some sort of clip? I've been searching the internet trying to find them to buy but they don't seem to be anywhere :O
