Bit-tech Modding Update - February 2014

Bit-tech Modding Update - February 2014

If our Mod of the Year 2013 competition highlighted one thing it's that while the PC market as a whole might be slowing, PC modding is far from a fading hobby. As well as the scores of projects nominated in the competition many more were created and showcased in our forum throughout the year, and it's those projects that our monthly modding updates aim to highlight.

This is our first update since the new year so we've had the pleasure of looking through two months of completed projects to find the finest for your delectation.

Before we get to the eye candy, though, here's a reminder of how to submit your case and that there's prizes up for grabs for doing so.

First things first, we're delighted to announce we've got a new sponsor - Corsair will be giving one lucky modder their choice of six fans every month. To be in with a chance of winning them, all you have to do is enter your project to our Case Mod Index or Scratchbuild Index.

These are our own databases of completed projects that allow you to see what others have done with a particular case model, material or motherboard size, with hundreds of projects to choose from.

How to submit Case Mods

If you're submitting a case mod (modified case), it must be complete with noticeable modifications (these can include spray paint/powder-coat or installed water-cooling hardware.) To submit your case mod you'll need to include the following information:
