Mod Competition

So this year I decided to enter the Cooler Master Mod Competition.

It runs every year, and runs worldwide.

You can find more information about it at mod.coolermaster.com

I’ll be doing a custom build for it, and will be posting a full worklog over at the Cooler Master forum – you can find my entry here. The other contestants in my category can be found here. The competition is going to be tough, but a lot of fun at the same time.

Images of the build and updates will be posted when I do any work on the build.
