Modding Nvidia ION case mod contest, your idea, your chance to own it.

This is one of the coolest contests that I've ever participated in.

You submit your idea for Nvidia ION based PC, if your design idea is chosen by one of these professional case modders listed, you get to watch them build it, and if that PC design wins, YOU get to own the winning PC design!!

You've seen the awesome work these guys are capable of here at bit-tech

I'll design one seated inside a real gold ingot!!!

Hi guys!

I run Modders-Inc and we are hosting the event for NVIDIA and CPU Magazine. We sure would like you to at least stop by and look at the event. Yes the event is US and Canada only (Limited by NVIDIA) but you can still post your input on the ideas that have already been submitted. I know you guys here at Bit-Tech are some of the best modders around and your input to the ideas will help us choose the ones that may challenge the modders the most.

So stop by take a look around and maybe post something! Later!

Nevermind. >>;

 

thats so not cool

worldwide contests!

 

Hmm this looks interesting but tbh I'd kind of rather build it myself. We shall see though.

 

Too bad the screen alone in my idea is/was $1100 that rules my idea out, despite how awesome it's been called by friends of mine.

 

I have to say that in the 9 years I've been in this business that Nvidia has the best marketing strategies I've ever seen. Everything has gone great so far. Modders-Inc has been an awesome host and even brought in Corsair to sponsor each build with memory and SSD.

Please keep submitting your ideas for us!!!

I'm in. I stayed up late last night putting something together. I doubt anyone but me would want to build it, though.

 

Lots of submissions so far! Some I have seen done elsewhere, some are way out and some are going into my sketchbook for later. Go look around.
I'm impressed.

Yeh we will look at it if you make it world wide ...

 

This is a modding forum. Go look at it just for ideas! I'm not entering or promoting - I'm just a browser like anybody.

CM told me to cut up my CM case so that it wasn't recognizable as a CM case for their contest! I don't enter contests.

Some cool ideas found there. Bring the ideas home!

This would go a lot easier if I could find some accurate measurements...

 

Personally, I wouldn't give a design away if I worked hard on it, I would do it myself.

good contest for the non-modders around though

 

OK....
So I spent 2 days putting together an freaky-detailed 4x5 pico case, only to find it's based on an ITX board instead.

 

Ohh Nooooo! Cheap. I'm glad to hear that you were going to submit something tho. Your ideas would def be cool!


I will tell Nvidia that if they plan another one of these, to allow International submissions.

 

I'm still in. I just resized to ITX. My numbers are off on material thicknesses, though.
