If you’re considering building a PC yourself or looking for a gaming PC case, you should check out this PC. Because this shark hides a real PC. And this one really stands out. We present to you one of the craziest PCs we’ve seen so far.
Who is behind the gaming PC? The modder Inony is from Thailand and built the PC for the Case Mod World Series 2019.
The Case Mod World Series is a competition by the manufacturer Coolermaster. Here, users apply with the best and most exciting cases, and the first place wins a prize of $10,000.
Where did the user get their idea? The source of inspiration for him is Horizon New Dawn, which will soon be available for PC. The previously PlayStation-exclusive game is about a post-apocalyptic future: The world is inhabited by machine beings that look like wild animals and prehistoric creatures, no longer dependent on humans. The developer took these machines as inspiration for his shark.
821 hours of work for gaming PC “Leviathan”
Of course, we don’t want to withhold the developer’s final result from you. In the embedded video, you can see the “Leviathan”.
How exactly was the gaming PC created? Inony has shown in a comprehensive image series (via community.coolermaster.com) how he assembled the PC. Overall, he writes, it took him 821 hours:
- All components for the case are created on a 3D printer
- For the material, he uses PETG, a thermoplastic. Most of you probably know PETG in the form of PET bottles.
- In total, Inony has produced over 400 parts, each part he had to sand down by hand with a sanding machine.
- After that, he had to paint the individual parts to make them look nice.
- For the eyes of the shark, he used a resin printer. Resin is a synthetic resin that hardens under UV radiation. As a result, the eyes are transparent and can be illuminated from within with LEDs.
How much performance does the PC have? Inony explained that he did not use absolute high-end performance. He elaborates in a post:
It’s probably not a high-end PC, because the hardware used was donated by my friends, but I hope you like my work. And if you like it, then I’m happy too.

In another post under the images, he explains that he is still not completely satisfied. His work is currently just a prototype, but due to the rules of the competition, he is not allowed to change certain things yet.
After the contest, Inony wants to reinforce the basic structure of the shark with iron. Unfortunately, he did not have time for that during the competition period. The later version is expected to be even stronger and more robust.
The picture shows that many parts, such as the hard drive, are quite exposed. Normally, the case primarily serves to protect sensitive components from the environment.
- When building a PC yourself, one should pay attention to buying a suitable case, otherwise it might get tight.
- Other users are also clever when it comes to crazy ideas for a case. For example, someone has modeled their case after Winston from Overwatch.
What do you think of this PC? Have you ever seen such a complex case or do you have a cool build on your desk?
