Mod of the Month January 2013

Mod of the Month January 2012

It's time for a whole new year of modding here at bit-tech and this year has already got off to a great start. There are some amazing new projects in our forum and some are already real contenders for this year's Mod of the Year competition.

We've got six new projects for you to vote for again so check out the next few pages and pledge your support. Don't forget that you have multiple votes!

There's plenty of other content as far as modding goes on bit-tech too. We've got our Modding Section which has guides, features and articles. Also don't forget our modding databases where you can select or filter hundreds of projects that have used specific cases, are water-cooled or even use specific motherboard sizes or materials. Case modders should head over to the Case Mod Index while scratchbuilders should take a look at the Scratchbuild Index.

Finally, we have an awesome modding competition running at the moment. We're asking you to build your own Raspberry Pi case. The deadline is the end of April so you have plenty of time and you'll be in with a chance of winning your own Raspberry Pi Model B too.

We're proud to have the legendary Mnpctech 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 will get one 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.
