    No disrespect to the other mods but compared to Orac imo they are all really very "average" they dont leap out in any way compared to the awesome Orac.

    Orac to win! :D :clap: :rock: :hip: :thumb:

    Have to disagree with you there.

    Most of those mods fit into either of these categories:
    - Fit a computer into random container X (5 out of 12 do this)
    - Add a window, paint, lighting and lots of other stuff (4 out of 12 do this).

    The remaining cases are Orac, the Cool Cube and the Demonic Case. All three of them are incredibly eye-catching and way above "average". I'm voting Orac because of those three, it's clear that way more planning and thought and work went into the construction of it.

    I think out of this group, Orac is definitely my favorite. But I really like the fan cube second.

    Orac without question, technically.

    I guess it's a matter of taste...

    Orac is my winner with the fan cue coming in second due to the technical challenges involved in building it.
    And yes, the rest do seem to fall into the two catagories as outlines by Master Ninja

    For some reason I also like "College Beast" one, Cube, and Demonic case.

    Orac3 is blatently the win. most of the others are just mini-itx projects ie Let's see how random we can make a computer look.

    I wish Defyant would have put his HPResII in there. That would be my vote for mod of the year.

    The case Defyant made for his son is there and I like it well enough, but HPRESII is a masterpiece.

    I like the Demonic Case best, and I ain't into all that spooky stuff normally! ORAC3 is a very close second and for third I actually really like the jerry can PC.

    Orac, nothing else!
    Agree. I mean, no bad words about the skill these people have... but, ehrm... fitting an itx pc into a micro wave? Is that the high potential mod everyone seems to aim for?
    Look at Defyant's work, G69T, Gnome, coolmiester and all these other guys here: Wooha! That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!
    This cube thingy seems to have a nice air flow, btw. :D

    Thanx heeps fot the support guys! but HPRESII was beaten for a spot by Raygen's Parabox in Issue 54 :)

    Orac3 is the standout mod, i personally think it's the best representation of the highest standard of modding there.

    but guys!!!

    None of this matters if you don't vote! this isn't decided by a panel of judges.... its forum memeber voted so everyones in with a chance :)

    Good luck to all.
