Discuss in the forums ReplyBut this competition revealed a gigantic flaw with internet votes on mod comps in plain view for me which has completely turned me off mod comps that take internet votes :( but definitely not actual modding ;) I'll be modding till I'm too weak to pick up a tool .
Nearly forgot to say who I voted for before I found out about the sham :o.
I voted for scratch builds that didn't seem to be getting much support but was really awesome mods, my votes would have been different if the ones I was going to vote for wasn't doing so very well, in mod comps I like to see a close ballance as all mods in comps have their own qualities although some do have the extra vavavoom :D ;).
Scratch builds
Charge! although I'd call this an extreme case mod but it's a kickass mod so had to vote for it :D
Sors salutis
Wall-E
For case mods I was able to vote my favourites since Paultan was doing very well with his nike mod.

I used 3 different PC's in the house couldn't help it with being spoilt with multivote here :).
To be honest I'd find it hard to pick a number 1, there are quite a lot I really like & would be happy to use virtually any of them :D.
If I seperated the themed cases from the original cases I'd find it a little bit easier I think but would still be a tough 1 to call.
I agree about the airbrushed ones though, just pay someone to do it & theres the mod :? so yeah I'd discount those straight away from the comp if I was a judge .
The Tron build is amazing, I completely agree, but for me the sheer size of the L3p project is astounding. And he just got everything right imo, the lighting, the various stages he went through. I'm in absolute awe of it, I must admit, and it's inspiring me to my first ever water cooled build. If that's not a reason for me to vote for it, I don't know what is.
Posting on god knows how many forums & reddit & possibly other places as well as already being an awesome mod that didn't need to be boosted but don't know about the other places bit :D.
Have you not seen the gingerbread house, that had ridiculasly bloated votes too :?.
Can only say I'm glad it doesn't come entirely down to the internet vote count .
Bods Tron mod is super duper, really is :D love the body work on it & really love the lighting on it perfectly done, really like the case handles (just push your arms through the wheels) awesome :D, even recovered from a big hiccup, it's also fantastic how fast he made it all come together, no messing around matches the bike it's based on :D, it costs a bit though to get some of the parts done like that but made the deadline just in time, perfect & 1 of not so many specifically built with the comp in mind so really would be a deserving winner imo, USS eurisko is really nice too, my 2 favourite themed scratch builds.
But what about Wall-E that thing can freak zoo animals out & double up as a pc :D.
And thanks Cooler Master and all voters ! :D
