The Mod Brothers Cardboard Case Competition – Done!

No Comments »

Well, we had some fantastic entries in the first ever Mod Brothers Cardboard Case Competition. My entry wasn’t spectacular, but I think I did an okay job considering. Here’s a couple shots of my finished computer case made entirely out of cardboard and paper, including the mech! You can see some of the other entires here, at the official Mod Brothers site.

More Cardboard Goodness

More progress on my entry for the Mod Brothers Cardboard Case Competition (though since it’s partially my site, I’m not sure how eligible I am). I am also trying out some new editing software called Kdenlive since what I was using before, Kino, is very limited. To be honest, though, I did the titles in this video in Kino and imported them into Kdenlive… Kino is limited in what it can do, but it does that very well.

This project is for someone that gave me a computer to “rebuild.” They didn’t say anything about not letting me mod it!
