装甲战车！华硕TUF Z77主机箱MOD实录

    事实上在华硕SABERTOOTH Z77主板发布之初，华硕就曾邀请众多MOD DIY玩家参与SABERTOOTH Z77的改造事宜，以下是Paultan收到的MOD邮件内容原文：

    “Dear PaulTan,

    Thank you for the patient waiting. Please refer to bellow for this 2012 Computex (Jun5-10) modding project overview.

    Artwork Theme: Military-grade (please avoid blood, violence, or weapon )

    Expected artwork details:

    - The main purpose is to promote the new SABERTOOTH Z77 motherboard and its key feature, Thermal Armor. Please allow the motherboard clearly or min 50% can be seen from the chassis.

    - The Armor (the black cover) is required to be consider into part of the design, either by painting(2D)/or modding(e.g.:3D deco).

    - Try to use the suggested device or please discuss with us if any alternative device you prefer (the list will be update by 4/23.

    - We don’t have specific exhibition floor plan at the moment, so no specific size and weight, but it has to be not too difficult for shipping.

    Please feel free to let us know if any information you need. More project detail will be provided to you, after accepting our project.”

    从这封邮件中我们也可以看出ARMOR SUIT Z77的设计背景和初衷，在实际执行的过程中Paultan花费了约一周的时间起草ARMOR SUIT Z77图案。

    从设计草稿上我们可以看到整个设计并没有使用3D建模，而是PS 2D模式的面式分解构图。
