We see so many corporate-looking casemods, overlit casemods, and steampunk casemods that the whole idea is starting to wear on us, but this sort of thing is a breath of fresh air. Blissfully untainted by such things as smirking game protagonists, external tubing, or flashing LEDs, this one is just… well, Egyptian. If you were a gamer and a pharaoh, this is what you’d be rocking.

The modern bits look incredibly incongruous next to the faux stone and stuff, maybe you could paint or distress them. There’s even quotes from the Book of the Dead on the side, in case dread Anubis takes you while you’re gaming and you need to brush up on it so his spectral dogs don’t eat your spirit heart.
