Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars
Strategy Gaming Case
Mod
Description of my case:
Idea
Since I love to play the nice Command & Conquer
strategy games, I thought it could
be nice to have and Command & Conquer Gaming PC.
Since I had a carton and got some
posters from the shop where I bought the latest Command
and Conquer game “EA Command
& Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars” I have decided to build up
this Case Mod.
Underneath you can see some pictures of the new Commodore
Gaming PC’s I have taken
at CeBIT 2007. Some of the new
Commodore Gaming PC’s are also designed with game
pictures on the cases.
Please take a look at my Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium
Wars - Strategy Gaming Case Mod
