Everything has to be perfectly integrated and themed, along the same lines. I'm not so much interested in just sticking a computer inside something. But I'd say my particular flair is for using toys and other objects, as part of my mods. The projects range in size, cost, and complexity of course. There have been at least four different TV appearances for my work, and about a dozen magazine or newspaper items. I'm constantly looking for new ways to get the message out about my projects, or modding in general.

Jedi: I've completed numerous projects - ten full projects, counting the TRON 2600 project, plus a couple half-done or abandoned projects.

From there I moved on to my most famous mod - the Millenium Falcon PC.įAQ: Can you also tell us a little bit about some of the mod projects you've done? Your work has become very well known, and seen in various media outlets: such as The Screensavers show, that was on TechTV.

I simply saw it, and thought: "COOL!".įrom that first case I built, I moved on to creating a home arcade gaming machine: using real arcade controls. I also stumbled across a couple small websites talking about cutting holes in your case, for better airflow and installing clear windows so you could see the components inside. Basically, I decided to buy a new computer because my current one was a bit long in the tooth, and started doing research (what processor to buy, what case, etc.) I stumbled across this "new" concept at the time - aluminum cases. I started modding about five years ago, now. Jedi: That's a question I get asked frequently. I'm very happily married to a wonderful girl named Yulia.įAQ: When did you start doing mods, and why? What was the inspiration that lead you to modding? I enjoy motorcycle riding, space simulation games ( Freespace 2, Freelancer, Starlancer, etc.), and watching science fiction (BSG, Star Trek, Star Wars, etc.) If you'd be interested in getting to know me better, please respond to my profile at. I'm 33 years old, 5'8", brown hair and eyes, and have two cats. I'm the NetOps System Administration Manager for Good Technology - a silicon valley start-up, focusing on wireless solutions. Jedi: My name is Russ Caslis, but the handle I go by in the modding world is jediknight0. A custom-built Atari 2600 system: using an ENCOM mainframe-style motif, as well as elements seen in the "electronic world" such as the grid patterns and Light Cycles.Īgain, I hope you enjoy reading this interview, and finding out more about jediknight0's remarkable history of mod projects.įAQ: Can you tell us a bit about yourself? Where do you come from, and what are your interests/hobbies (aside from TRON)? You may know him for his latest mod project, the TRON 2600.
