Why the hell would you buy an new HAF932 and then only use the motherboard tray. Why not design the tray too if you have the tools.
Modders and their logic... lol

Mankz · 4th Dec 2008, 12:19

I've gone for Black Flag's 343B.

Great design, and so anal about things like sleeving I can't help but love it.

The boy 4rm oz · 4th Dec 2008, 14:34

I am really having a hard time voting lol. All the modsare great, where it is design genious or a world's first (go John and Cheaps

), they are all very fantastic mods.

I am torn up between a few mods but my vote goes for John and his final mod H20-C7.

Moriarty · 4th Dec 2008, 15:04

I can't help but vote for someone who fits his hard drives with snorkels.

Thacrudd · 4th Dec 2008, 16:16

That was a really hard vote. Great work guys, you all deserve to be there.

steveo_mcg · 4th Dec 2008, 16:19

+1 for john, i'm a sucker for ickle baby itx mods and this ones is just plain daft

.

Cheapskate · 4th Dec 2008, 16:29

Sorry, guys. There's some great mods here, but I must vote for John's H2O-C7.
If he wins new modding gear, he will be forced to make another 'last' mod.

-I'm trying to squeeze one more project out of him.

airchie · 4th Dec 2008, 17:14

I'm looking forward to reading more about the HDDs with snorkels!
I have a submersion-cooled PC cooking up in my head too and the HDD breather hole was the main stumbling block I could forsee.
That, and getting a water-tight seal for things like the power lead, DVI, USB etc...

HourBeforeDawn · 4th Dec 2008, 23:13

this was tough it was between HAF932 and Spell and well in the end I went for HAF932 by ranlai, visually just stunning the work that has been done so far.

Langer · 4th Dec 2008, 23:47

jhanlon303 4TW!

Sparrowhawk · 4th Dec 2008, 23:49

I'm torn between HAF932, H20C7, and Spell.

This will be a tough one.

KayinBlack · 5th Dec 2008, 02:30

REALLY hard choice, but the C7 has my vote. Overkill cheesecake.

ModMinded · 5th Dec 2008, 04:32

Tough crowd. I like the addition of hardware as prize. Expect my vote on the 18th. Show me what you got fellas!

RanLai's Haf932 is an interesting mod with amazing design skills (to me, at least). The CNC mill seems like cheating almost, but he definitely has to apply his skill on the cut pieces and shows it. (I kinda think he's gonna get a big percent of the vote.)
The OilPC is a very interesting concept, and makes me want to build one. His well written almost guide like log makes me think that I can.
Jhanlon303's got Cheap's blocks, display cases, a scratch build, a great personality and history, and great log as well. I can't help but root for him.
BlackFlag's Spell7 has some great cabling, and is a huge case with a ton of HDs, so I like that, too. I have to see what's to come.
StackArt has some fantastic HD holders & plexi pieces imho, but just kinda came out of nowhere for me. I want to see more of this.
I've been watching the HAF and John's logs for a while.

Good luck all!

Really good comp this month! Every single rig is awesome. Good luck to all!

Naberius · 5th Dec 2008, 19:32

Had to vote for HAF932 by ranlai, just for him having the balls to take on what is one of the uglyist cases available.

What he said! I read through all the logs today. Thank you Bit-Tech for the new view button.
Some really nice work being done here by all. Great new ideas and thinking.

Thank you moderators for nominating me. This is good company to be in.

Win or not, the nomination means a lot to me.
