Case Mod: Terminator Velox Project

When a person applies himself, the result shows. This can certainly be said for Larry Anderson with his latest case mod featuring a GIGABYTE Z97X-Gaming G1 Wifi Black Edition which gave him the honors of wining the Best of Show Case Mod Contest at LANFest Sacramento Fall 2014.

With the added special touch from Larry, the finished system is simply spectacular! Impressive work!
