One of the things that I most admire about the Fallout fandom is how many creative and immensely talented cosplayers, artists, and modders exist within the community. Their passion for this specific fictional apocalypse is immeasurable, and I hope to one day join their ranks. But until then, I’m happy just playing the games. With the Fallout 76 beta having officially just begun and the actual release just around the corner, I wanted to share a few of my favorite Fallout case mods and rigs that I’ve come across over the years.

At the top of the list comes one that we posted about a few years ago as part of Maximum PC’s “Rig of the Month” series. BSMods created this Fallout 4-themed system before the game officially launched in 2015, complete with real metal parts salvaged from scrap yards. After receiving an invite from Corsair to enter one of their contests, Bob Stewart and Rod Rosenberg modded this system around a Corsair Graphite Series 780T full-tower case—and the results make me want to take up welding. On the left side, a vault door inscribed with 111 swings open to reveal the hardware, which has been painted an extreme, rusted look. Using transparent vinyl with a quarter-inch light box, the right side looks like a legitimate TV screen, complete with the retro “Please Stand By” message. But my absolute favorite part of this rig is the “on key.” Instead of an on button, there is an actual key that you turn to power up the system. It’s such a small detail that taps into my love for both vintage and modern tech simultaneously.
