A musician and close friend who goes by the name Braindrop reached out to me and said it had been 7ish years since he did a PC upgrade and it was time to build a new one. He asked if I wanted to do the build and told me I could do whatever I wanted creatively, and he wanted it to be a surprise.

Braindrop himself is an artist with talents that extend beyond music. He's a glass blower, chef, cheese maker, woodworker, miniature airbrush painter, electronics wizard, computer science junkie, security nerd and all around creative guy.

As you can see the legs of this case are music notes, and the theme is gold and black tied to the Asus ProArt series which this motherboard is based on. The distribution block is a sine wave going into a brain, which has droplets that then become beautiful music, ala Braindrop.
