Hi! I've tried to find a fallout based pc case but didn't manage to find any even overpriced.. do you guys have any advice about making my own one? ( based on the 2 models that you can see in photos ) Thank you!
You really just need to know how to paint and apply stickers. It’s not that hard.

I’m not really into Fallout, but this is awesome.

Here’s how.
1) Find suitable case. You’re not going to want a fish tank for this. (I see one of the PCs is a fish tank. But I don’t think that works nearly as well.) Nothing in the fallout universe is clean and elegant. You’re going for boxy and clunky.
2) Mask the radiation danger symbol and the diagonal stripes. Mask anything you want to be blue. Spray yellow.
3) Mask all the yellow. Spray blue.
4) Make nuka cola bottle caps — red paint and white vinyl. Obtain a Vault-Tec bobble head toy. (3d print one?)
5) And I would absolutely hot-glue some vacuum tube sockets to the bottom of the case and use old tubes for effect (not connected to anything. Tubes throw stupid amounts of heat — you can warm a room with a good-enough amp.)
6) If you go the fish-tank route, have the glass etched.

I love the last two! The first looks a little poor in the air flow department, but still great!
