Since the summer of 2000 Paul has been creating custom computer case mods, fusing his passion for art, technology and industrial design into his unique creations. His more than 23 years of experience as master model builder, carpenter and special effects artist is reflected in works such as Metropolis, Alien Case Mod, The Matrix: Rebirth 8.0.

His most recent work, Doom 3: Project Mars City, is considered to be the most well known custom computer case mod ever created.



Paul is not only a world-class craftsman, he is also a published author, multimedia artist and video journalist. His most recent book, The Maximum PC Guide to Extreme PC Mods (QUE Publishers) has become the de facto guide for building and customizing your own personal computer.

Paul Capello is also the host of Airgun Reporter as well as the chief, cook and bottle washer of production. From show concept to writing, directing and editing, The show is currently a one-man crew. Airgun Reporter is the first in a series of independently produced consumer product review shows, with a focus on in-depth air gun product reviews, from the backyard “BB rifle” to the precision made world-class Olympic grade target shooter. Airgun Reporter's content is suitable for all audiences.

His numerous television, radio, print and trade show appearances have earned him a reputation as a friendly and informative public personality. Year after year Paul is invited back to bring his work to events across the country for clients including Microsoft and Intel Corporation.

The online modding forums on his web site and on many others are launching pads for new ideas, where he can be found sharing his works in progress, lending a helping hand and learning from the many creative people that make up the case modding community. Paul’s work continues to be featured in books, on television and in magazines all over the world, and in more than eight languages. Born in Brooklyn, NY, he still lives there today.
