About Mashie

Case modder, competition winner and compulsive maker.

Johan Grundstrom aka Mashie was born in Sweden in the mid seventies. In 1998 he put an angle grinder to a computer case for the first time, unknowing that he a few years later should lift his arms as the winner of The Summer 2002 CPL Consummate Computer Competition (C3), taking home the biggest cash prize ever.

His cases have been featured in printed media all over the world, including America, Taiwan and the United Kingdom.
