HellRaiser Cenobite PC

I wanted to build a scary freaking HellRaiser themed monster, but didn’t want to base the design on any of the existing HellRaiser characters. I instead pencil sketched out an original design of what I figured a case modder turned cenobite would look like and then set about building the mod to match.

The finished machine is completely water-cooled with custom features including a built in chest mounted LCD monitor, speakers in both arms, remote controlled UV animatronic eyes, 3D oven formed acrylic windows, custom controllable LED lighting and a laser array shooting up out of the head.

I have a nine page worklog that chronicles the mods creation on my website www.CaseModGod.com for anyone wanting to see the start to finish build process – or check out the following two minute Cenobite PC “making the mod” work log video…

A years worth of work went into the Cenobite and even though some of the details are subtle, things like the smoked acrylic base having been backpainted as a puzzlebox panel or the way all the seams in the leather line up tight, the sum of the parts justified the work involved. After the Cenobite mod was (mostly) finished I made a puzzle box mousepad for it, modding truly is a sickness…
