One of the first games I played on a PC was MW2. The very first game I ever played online multiplayer was MW3. I still remember chasing around a guy named "damn Fly" who piloted a maxed speed Firefly that screwed everyone else up with speed lag as we were almost all exclusively using dial-up.....but that's another post... To celebrate the return of Mechwarrior to the PC, I challenge as many people as possible to complete a PC case mod! Case mods are new to me but many of you have likely been building/painting mechs for years so think of this as a slightly larger scale. My starting point is going to be the Pepacura paper models for rough scale....and increase that until I can fit a motherboard in somewhere... (10" x 13" x 6"). After much consideration, I'm choosing a Shadowcat as my model, but there are many that would lend themselves well to the scale required. I'm a fantastic procrastinator at times and I work best with deadlines. If people are interested we could post pictures/updates/etc. I think that it would be rather awesome to have a bunch of mech pilots, playing on PC mechs.....playing MWO!

If there is anyone even remotely interested, please feel free to reply

Interested. Very interested. I'm not sure I'd be able to find the time to do it for quite a while though..

I'd love to see how your Shadow Cat turns out, I'll be following this topic for sure

Note: If he was piloting a Firefly, you're thinking Mechwarrior 3

If it really was Mechwarrior 2, it was a Firemoth


As for myself, I'm buying a new laptop (Would prefer a desktop, but as I'm planning to leave the city, I can't be bogged down with anything hard-to-move if I don't absolutely need to) just for Mechwarrior Online. The only thing is, I wish that there were some sort of way I could decorate the laptop with Battletech-related memorabilia. All I've got is a shadowrun sticker, but nothing of a Battletech nature to adorn the lid.

This is one of the coolest Ideas I've heard tossed around. I'm really interested in how this turns out.

Check on ebay.
I have found "battletech sticker" puts out a few results worth looking into, also a seller named flighlinefabrications has quite a few. last i saw there was a marauder profile listed somewhere in the store.
