Mod of the Year 2010 winners announced

It's all over! Nearly 1,200 votes were cast in what proved to be one of the closest modding competitions we've ever seen.

Barely 50 votes separated the top five projects, but before we announce the winners, we'd like to say thanks to our sponsors this year - Corsair, Gigabyte, Intel and Zotac - for stumping up some awesome hardware for the winners to take away and feed into their new projects.

A big thanks goes out to Mnpctech for sponsoring Mod of the Month too and supplying the reader prizes, the next five winners of which are listed below.

Here are the top ten projects of 2010 as voted for by you...
