    So, you want to build a scratch mod? It’s something a lot of enthusiasts have thought about tackling over time. You reach a certain point and you’re no longer satisfied with simply modding existing cases. You want to get a little more creative, and as a result, a little more personal. The modding community is always growing, and as you see rigs that inspire you, the desire to create ...

    In the world of enthusiast computing, we’ve come to a crossroads. Crossfire and SLI performance is such that it’s not quite worth it (yet) to run dual graphic cards, over a big single. The sacrifice many of make now is losing a slot to a dual (or even partially triple) slot graphics card. While many boards have saved costs/PCI express lanes by not putting a slot where it will be blocked by a dual slot card, there are many boards in the SFF world ...

    I've been a casemodder for over a decade now, and whilst I am relatively unknown, some of my designs are not. I have made many entries into design contests around the world.

    Having been involved with the casemodding world for so long, I've seen the community begin to stagnate. Everyone wants a feature on MPDC, CaseModBlog, Bit-Tech, etc etc. So the recipe for the old classic mods has now become the norm. Fine, I say, this is the way tech moves along. Yesterday's supercomputer performance is today's desktop performance, then tommorow's smartphone performance. Same goes with most, if not all, industry.

    But if there are so many different ...

    ​You just don't hear much about community spirit these days. However within the modding community, that spirit is alive and strong. It's great to see!


    John Hanlon (viewed by many as the Chuck Norris of the modding world) has been struggling as of late, struck down with numerous health issues. An inspiration to the online modding community, yet he was forced to cancel his internet connection to pay for his medical bills. A group of modders have grouped together to bring John Hanlon back into the online modding world, with a couple of projects in the works to help see him through these tough times.

    Silverstone is well known for their high end chassis for desktop, HTPC and SFF markets alike. With the work economy crumbling, Silverstone has made a move into the budget segment with the Precision PS02.While this chassis isn't Small Form Factor, I thought I would take the time to voice my impressions of it as it is a smaller ATX chassis. I will be using this case for my home file/web server.
