Mod of the Month is back for 2009 to bring you the best of upcoming projects from our community. We've joined up again with AC Ryan so read, vote and tell us your thoughts on this month's contenders!

As much as I love the Phase 2 mod, can it really be a "mod of the month" when there hasn't been a project update in three months?

But you gotta love that fangrill!

Degenerate83 · 27th Feb 2009, 11:55

Its true there aint been an update in months but agree its on hell of a fan grill and theres some really amazin craftmanship. but in the past 3 months there have been some other amzing mods started!

Some projects take weeks, some projects take years.. the idea of MotM is to not make sure a project is finished or to not only feature projects that will finish, but to appreciate the effort and process of which people are currently doing.

I just had to vote for the Cosmos Dragon even though I normally don't like glowing computer cases.

steveo_mcg · 27th Feb 2009, 13:02

I love car-puters, would quite like one in my car but i was vetoed.

Stuey · 27th Feb 2009, 13:02

Tough selection this month, but I think I know which to vote for.

Mankz · 27th Feb 2009, 13:37

Q-Vent 900 for me...

I'm also quite surprised not to have seen The Mineral Oil PC in there, or Coolmiesters latest offering...

Claave · 27th Feb 2009, 13:47

"Brake Line looks simply fan-tastic" Antony's really getting the hang of this journalism lark isn't he? Great punnery!

Bindibadgi · 27th Feb 2009, 14:08

Antony has been a CPC staff writer for a while before this

E.E.L. Ambiense · 27th Feb 2009, 15:37

Nice to see it back, and nice selection this month too! Congrats to all, and good luck!

slugbug · 27th Feb 2009, 16:20

My vote goes to Cosmos Dragon.

Cheapskate · 27th Feb 2009, 16:59

I'd swear this this is Phinix cubes' second run in MOTM.

-And OMFG! No Lian-Li mod!?!?!?

[USRF]Obiwan · 27th Feb 2009, 17:14

I had the exact (almost that is) idea as the Phinix cube, only more sophisticated, placing all hardware below and only the motherboard on top. My idea was to place a dual or triple rads on the left and right in a push pull setup with the rest of the stuff in between (hd's,pumps,dvd, reservoir etc). The top section as clean as possible.

I still want to do this but i'm building a house so all the money and freetime goes into that for this year at least. You gotta love the mod section all those cool stuff you can do with computer hardware. Its just fun!
