Mod of the Month August 2013

Mod of the Month August 2013

If you ever need evidence of the massively diverse range of modders and projects in our forums, this edition of Mod of the Month is it. We've got six new projects for you again to vote on and drool over and each one caters to a completely different area of modding.

We've got a micro PC based on Intel's NUC format, a hot rod-inspired PC, mini-ITX and micro-ATX mods and even a replica Portal sentry gun, which of course is also a fully-functioning PC like all the projects we feature in Mod of the Month.

Our Modding forum is also worth a look where you'll find tips, tricks, guides and planning, while the Project Logs forum is where the real magic happens. Don't forget our Case Mod Index and Scratch Build Index. These databases of hundreds of projects allow you to see what others have done particular cases, or with specific materials or motherboard sizes.

We're proud to have the awesomeMnpctech sponsoring Mod of the Month. The Mnpctech guys are regulars on our forums and, in addition to being avid modders themselves with some awesome projects to their names, the Mnpctech online store is also well worth a visit from every modder.

The winner of Mod of the Month, as voted for by our readers, gets to chooseone of these awesome prizes from the Mnpctech store itself. There will 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.
