Na-na-na-na-na-na…..Super Hornet! In a time when super heroes are all the rage, this is a Rig that could power the Fortress of Solitude. Ton took two Monarch Hornet Pro Small Form Factor cases and combined them into a single unit. The bottom half of the chassis is where the power plant (PSU) resides along with the Danger Den pump and the WD-Raptor Hard Drive with a notebook Super Drive.
The top half was designed to showcase the rest of the super hero gadgetry. Dual eVGA GeForce 7900 GTX's in SLI Mode on at eVGA mATX nForce 4 motherboard and a complete Danger Den Watercooling system. Aquaman would be proud.
To confound evildoers, there are Acrylic mirrors surrounding the interior along with white CCFL lighting. The outside was painstakingly crafted, all four sides are mounted to hinges that allow them to move away from the case and sit like wings. The hornet and hive design were all hand cut using a Dremel. Ton then painted the side panels with Candy Yellow paint along with a barely visable ghost hive pattern.
Ton, congratulations on being chosen for this month's Rig of The Month. I'll rest easy when I see the Super Hornet Logo shining up into the night sky, knowing that you are on the job keeping the world safe from plain computer cases.
