Mod of the Year 2006

Cold Fusion by SleepStreamer

Max Erlandsson, aka SleepStreamer, is another talented modder to hail from Sweden - is it something in the water over there? Max is a good friend of renowned modder Wolverine, who got him started in the dark art of case hackery. Amazingly, this is Max's first mod which, given the result, is amazing.

The case was inspired by the concept of a futuristic nuclear reactor - hence the name. To get a futuristic, industrial look, our modder drew the side panels up in CAD and had them laser cut for the precision required. Like the Mustang mod, this is based on a stock case that is almost unrecognisable by the time the modding has been finished.

In his worklog, Max mentions that once he'd finished modding the case, he didn't have the cash to finish off and install all the watercooling! Maybe he could use $500 to fix up the WC system?
