裝甲戰車！華碩TUF Z77主機箱MOD實錄

    事實上在華碩SABERTOOTH Z77主板發布之初，華碩就曾邀請眾多MOD DIY玩家參與SABERTOOTH Z77的改造事宜，以下是Paultan收到的MOD郵件內容原文：

    “Dear PaulTan,

    - 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).

    從這封郵件中我們也可以看出ARMOR SUIT Z77的設計背景和初衷，在實際執行的過程中Paultan花費了約一周的時間起草ARMOR SUIT Z77圖案。

    從設計草稿上我們可以看到整個設計并沒有使用3D建模，而是PS 2D模式的面式分解構圖。
