Build of the week: Super Gaming (a Superman logo with a cape)

Every Monday, Build of the week highlights a unique rig from the web’s most dedicated PC building communities.

Last week, we featured a chunky Batman head, so it’s only right that Superman gets a shot this time around. Sure, he’s basically invincible, he can fly, he has x-ray vision, but fairness supersedes all super powers (or lack thereof), especially when it comes to custom case mods.

This Superman logo build comes from BaluC and Soccer of Black-Mod.com. What really stands out to me about the project is that the logo isn’t just a simple paint by numbers recreation. It actually employs a few meshes to emulate the texture of Superman’s more recent suit iterations.

Even if the components aren’t exactly super, this computer has a damn cape and is balanced by a fist-imprinted pedestal. I like to imagine arms sprouting from its center before it leaps into the sky. A perfect world, where we’re policed by a sentient superhero PC who flies around and punches bad games, imprisoning them in a Microsoft Surface, which is then sent spinning through space.
