Mod of the Month October 2013

Mod of the Month October 2013

As we close in on the end of the year and our bound-to-be epic Mod of the Year competition, it's time to take one last look at the in-progress projects in our forum. There's a massive mix of extremely in-depth projects this month and each one has the potential to be an all-time great. We've got cruiser mods, giant eye-candy filled servers, home-made water cooling components and some fantastic painting, metal work and woodwork on show too.

Make sure you check out our awesome modding community forums too. The Modding forum is the place for tips, tricks, guides and planning your projects, while the Project Logs forum is where the eye-candy is. Don't forget our main Modding section, which is filled with guides and articles written by the makers of some of the best projects we've seen.

Also there's our Case Mod Index and Scratch Build Index. These are databases of hundreds of projects which allow you to see what has been done with particular case makes and models, or with specific materials or motherboard sizes. They're fantastic tools that can be helpful if you need some inspiration or want to see what other people have done.

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 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.
