Fallout 4 ULTIMATE "Bomb Case" Build Log - Part 1 of 2

The video kicks off with an ambitious concept: fitting a complete computer into the Fallout bomb case that ships with the Fallout Anthology. The host explains that this is not a standard build, since the MasterCase 5 chassis has modular parts and is not naturally compatible with the intended components. Early on, feasibility testing is described, including plans for a Maximus VIII motherboard, a 300W power supply, and a low-profile graphics option, with concerns about space and the case’s curved geometry. In collaboration with a designer friend, they 3D model extensions to increase usable volume, first testing a smaller module and then a taller jumbo piece that finally provides enough height for all the parts. The video moves through design decisions to balance aesthetics and functionality, including color considerations for the green and brown spray textures and how to integrate a dramatic, button-driven power switch that doubles as the on/off mechanism for the PC. Across the episode, there is hands-on tinkering: wiring a secondary switch, salvaging a computer case component for the new switch, and routing a low-profile SATA data cable so the SSD can fit neatly at the base of the assembly. By mid-session, the host demonstrates the system powering up, validates boot capability with a basic post, and begins primer and painting work to achieve a convincing finish that matches the bomb case’s look, while acknowledging the tight tolerances and the learning curve involved. The overarching takeaway is a commitment to a rugged yet striking build that merges the Fallout theme with genuine PC hardware, all while documenting the iterative process and the occasional trial and error that comes with a highly customized project. The episode closes with a plan to refine the paint job and complete the finish, setting up Part 2 for final assembly and presentation.
