Mod of the Month - August 2010

August is now behind us and as we stare September in the face, it's time to look at some new projects that have appeared on our forums during the very busy summer modding season, for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere anyway. There's certainly enough going on to make this year's Mod of the Year competition very impressive indeed - just make sure you get your projects completed soon though, Christmas is only a few months away!

Make sure you check out the action in our modding forum where new projects often start their life in planning a discussion as well as being the place to discuss modding in general. No visit to bit-tech is complete without a visit to our world-leading project log forum though - it's where all the magic happens. Bit-tech's modding home page has even more stuff for you to ogle at. There're guides, news and completed projects with behind the scenes write-ups from their makers. If you've missed Mod of the Month in the past, you can catch up on all the previous action here.

World-renound Mnpctech kindly sponsors Mod of the Month and a visit to our forums will see some of it's own awesome projects coming to life. The Mnpctech online store is one place every modder should visit at least once.

Up for grabs for the winner of Mod of the Month from here on in is one of these awesome prizes from the Mnpctech store itself. There'll be some new and exciting products from Mnpctech on the horizon too but for now, feast your eyes on these pieces of true PC bling.

So it's a huge thanks to Bill Owen at Mnpctech for stumping up such fantastic prizes and, well done to all the nominees last month. Over 120 of you voted for your favourite project with everyone getting a piece of the action. In the end, man of the moment craigbru walked away with a lion's share of the votes with his awesomely promising project, OSIDIAS. BLUEHORSESTUDIOS 's BIOHAZARD came in second with Intel Ice by jj_sky5000 picking up third place. Back to this month though, feast your eyes on this lot and make sure to vote for your favourite.
