Those mods look awesome, and must've taken alot of hard work and effort! It'll be hard only to choose three, they're all fantastic!

Good luck! It's just amazing how people can keep creating mods that don't exist yet...

Wow, i really dont want to pay your phonebill guys, those prizes are awesome!

Are the voter prizes global by the way, or UK only?
And how did you select these 15 mods? Last year was just a parade of the 12 MOTM winners, this seems to be different. Not that i disagree with any of these mods being listed here, it's a great list!

Is it REALLY Brain Carter, or is it Brian?

I keep thinking Bodakker's a big White mouse.

You are actually wrong there last year was not just mod of the mounth winners and it has never been just that. It has always been a mix of motm and the full article mods.

They're all excellent "works of art" I couldn't possibly pick just one.... I love the look of the Skulltrail system, but the Mac G5 Duo looks so clean... ooh decisions, decisions.

Such a variety of different mod styles there. All have an amazing amount of work and skill put into them, but I managed to get it down to 5 personal favourites. Was hard deciding which 2 I had to drop >.< I think we should have been allowed to vote for upto 15

Good luck to all everyone who made the final list.

... and Merry Christmas everyone!

Good thing we can vote for more than one, would have been hard to just pick one, go go Bloo Balls, Sentry Mod and Mce 2.

My vote would go to "Chiaroscuro" by Nick Falzone if I had a single vote, but BSG and MCE2.0 got my other 2 votes.

I've tried to go for scratch builds since I believe that they often showcase the most talented modders skills and diversity. out of the non scratch builds I think that the BSG mod is the best executed modification on an existing case.

Happy holidays to all!

WOW the prices are insane!!! I bet the winner will be jumping around in joy when he read the result.

MCE, bloo balls and apple core duo got my votes REALLY hard to pick!
Good luck to all of you, you're going to need it, cause all of the mods are outstanding

Marry Christmas to you all.

Good thing I could pick 3, I would have never been able to decide which was my favourite.
