Combine a Chinese stock case, heavy sponsored hardware, a Dutch artist, dab of elbow grease and a whole lot of vision and what do you get? Meet kier, if you haven't already. He is building a rather respectable repertoire of eye candy mods and this aptly named Silverstone TJ11 Carbon. Kier has a keen eye for contrast and a very sleek style regarding his layout. Some damn nice components doesn't ding his score much either. So when he saw this case "calling to him" for a robust facelift sleeves were rolled, Dremels were spun, metal was ground, and the Dutch had fun. Starting of course with the Silverstone TJ11 he loaded it with a Coolermaster 1200w power supply, EVGA Classsified E759 main board, i7 930 CPU, and three (you heard me) GTX 480 graphics cards. Topped off with very elegantly sleeved wiring and a custom watercooling loop, this build is real eye candy. The dude has his own website showcasing some of his other work, worth checking out at Madebykier. Have a gander at this beautiful build out for yourself if you haven't already, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. -jdbnsn

Heyyyyy this is Three Dog coming to you from Galaxy News Radio...
How are all ya folks handling post apocolyptia today? Listen up people, I know what it's like to out there in wasteland. All alone, nobody special to spend time with, it's hard on a person. Then you come into one of those big cities like Megaton and what's the first thing you do with all your hard earned caps? Well, what happens in Megaton stays in Megaton.
On another note, just got some news about our friend Luciel from vault 101. Seems he deep-sixed the competition and is puttin' up "the good fight" on the behalf of all you fine inhabitants of the Capital Wasteland. Rumor has it he was recently seen puttin' down some Enclave scum with his latest weapon, a fully customized B-Move Slim II M-ATX low profile case.
He scored some materials from Flak 'N Shrapnel's over in Rivet City and went to work. While amped on Nuka-Cola and stimpacks he chopped that baby up and kissed it with a groovy paintjob worthy of the wasteland. Word is he's also snagged the Pip-Boy from some bandit and mounted it on the side making his new bombastic think box even sexier!
Three Dog approves my Paladin friend, three Dog approves. That's all for now people of Capital Wasteland, coming live from the heart and soul post apocalypse straight to your neck of the woods. Bow-wow-wow!!!!!!!
THANKS FOR LISTENING CCHHHIILLLLDREN!!!!

Every once in a while there comes a mod that's simply stunning in it's design, assembly and attention to detail. Project Honeycomb by TBCS member Fuganater is one of those mods. It's his first scratch-build, but it sure doesn't seem like it. Read on to find out more...

Midtower cases these days are a dime-a-dozen. Every manufacturer has one and each has their own way of doing things and features that try to make theirs stand out from everyone else's. But the ones that do stand out are those that are innovative and inexpensive - a sometimes hard recipe to get right. Will the latest offering from NZXT get it right? Read on to find out...

TheGreatSatan is one of our most experienced modders. He has completed roughly 38 different computer mods. Many of them have been featured on our Front Page and we are adding another one to the mix. His newest mod is called Project: Legend of Zelda, and yes, it’s about the game everyone grew up playing, Legend of Zelda. Everyone, except TheGreatSatan… But this case is not for him, it is for a friend who happens to be a huge fan of Zelda.

With USB 3.0 now becoming mainstream there's a flood of high-speed USB 3.0 devices out there to store your data on, from flash drives to docking stations. HDD Docks are convenient in the fact that you can use a spare hard drive as a removable drive without needing hot-swap bays in your case. Today we'll be looking at one of these docking stations, specifically the latest offering from Ineo. Read more....

Waynio is no stranger to modding, already having a few case mods under his belt. He made his first scratch-built case, followed by his second (Air Cube v1), then finally his Air Cube v2 mod. His latest creation is called Stealthlow, and it's shaping up to be one of the nicest scratch-builds I've seen lately! Read on to find out more...

"A ninja (忍者) or shinobi (忍び) was a covert agent or mercenary of feudal Japan specializing in unorthodox arts of war. The functions of the ninja included espionage, sabotage, infiltration, and assassination, as well as open combat in certain situations." Quite what this has to do with computer cases is unclear but it certainly sounds pretty cool. Is the Bitfenix Shinobi Mid-ATX tower as cool as the name it has been given? Read on after the break to find out...

You’ve all seen computer mods obviously, most here have done their own as well. Some people are happy with some paint, some acrylic, lights and fans. But what if you want to take it to the next level? What if you want to add things that move? Custom lighting beyond cathodes and basic LED’s? Well that’s exactly what this series is about. Read on to find out more…
