Straight from the forum to our front page, we've got a scratch build that anyone interested in plexi, HAL or disaster recovery needs to read. Come on in and take a read over the wonder of Craig's (aka Cheapskate) Bloo Balls...

Bi-Tech wouldn't be the same without the insane modders that roam the forums.

Excellent work

SupReme · 21st Aug 2008, 08:23

Copper Piping <3 !

Love the watercooling system, it really has a nice touch!

BioSniper · 21st Aug 2008, 08:37

Nice work Cheap.

An awesome mod. I love your home made water blocks. Blue and orange aren't my ideal choice of colours but it looks awesome all the same.

[USRF]Obiwan · 21st Aug 2008, 08:47

This is one of the weird ones. Weird colors, weird functionality, weird construction.

I like weird

Mo_ · 21st Aug 2008, 08:53

haha wicked mod with those copper pipes - could be better for the cooling right!!?!

Timmy_the_tortoise · 21st Aug 2008, 08:58

Awesome, love the colours!

bigc90210 · 21st Aug 2008, 09:33

looks like a hamster cage/tank?

brinkz0r · 21st Aug 2008, 10:14

The article is as chaotic as you are, love it Cheapy!

I was surprised to see this one on the frontpage, but you deserved it. It's very funny to see the contrast between Bloo and the previous modding article, the Cosmos Skulltrail

Yemerich · 21st Aug 2008, 12:56

Congrats cheaps! It took a long time to see this happen, but u are finally on the front page. A well deserved prixe!

Brett89 · 21st Aug 2008, 13:02

I've said it before, I'll say it again, the lawn mower res is the best res evar! Great mod though, well executed and great problem solving!

HeXeN · 21st Aug 2008, 13:46

Congrats Cheapskate! Excellent work (Woow i didn't see the end till now but this amazed me!)

[<x>] Kiyusoma · 21st Aug 2008, 16:13

Is it just me or does the rad at the rear look crooked?
Otherwise awesome project!

yeknom · 21st Aug 2008, 16:56

A well deserved front page article. I love your writing too.

Cheapskate · 21st Aug 2008, 18:04

Thanks everyone.

And Thanks Brett, for putting up with the chaotic mess I left you to edit.

It's been a while since I had to write something like that, and you filled in the stuff I forgot nicely. It's funny to see this after I spent last night reassembling Bloo.

My thoughts exactly, but it looks like a hamster cage on crack, with a watercooling setup thrown in for good measure.

Stuey · 21st Aug 2008, 20:56

Nice work, & nice recognition of nice work! Nice!

I liked the planning and execution of this modding project. Cheapskete's skills in working with plastics are some of the best I have seen. This modding project defines the essence of Bit-tech. I really want to see more modding projects on the front page in the following months.
