Na'ir al Saif by Attila Lukacs

Bit-tech feature: Here

We're sticking with Attila here as we look at his second major project, which again uses an astronomical name (Na'ir al Saif, translated as 'the bright one in the sword'). Na'ir al Saif is a both a world-apart from Cygnus X1 but familiar in many ways. It has the same exquisite build quality that makes the custom components look like they've rolled of a precision production line when in fact Attila has made a majority of what you see by hand.

The patience and perseverance required to make something like this is staggering, and it's no wonder the project is one of the most popular ever on our forum. It's also Attila's second Mod of the Year-winning project and a fantastic follow-up to Cygnus X1 which he completed the previous year.

Make sure you don't miss out on Attila's latest work either - his in-progress project, Cor Leonis is already well under-way.

All are just staggering priceless and timeless mods. Put in some recent hardware and you can happily use them for years to come. That brings me to to the question; what happened to the past years winning mods? Are they still used, are they laying on the attic, basement, scrapyard or have they traveled around the world to new owners.

All of the above! I believe G-gnome commented in the last article that his projects are still around at home. People like Sleepstreamer and Boddaker often make projects for companies such as Asus and Thermaltake so these will be shipped to new places and sadly I know one or two projects that have been damaged too. Some may have been stripped for parts or hardware as well.

I have to say, I'm not a massive fan of using wood in mods. To me, it just looks somehow wrong. Maybe its the fact that I associate computers with more industrial or futuristic designs. That said, I think everyone can appreciate the craftmanship and work that went into all of these.

Personally I keep them as-is for a couple of months until the initial interest has faded, then I remove the parts I might need for future builds and put the rest in the shed. Well, apart from Cold Fusion, that one is still completely intact and probably still working perfectly if you manage to find a forklift powerful enough to move it to a power socket.
