Mod of the Year 2006

Extreme Lian-Li by EdieJo

Back in 2002, EdieJo had never even heard of case modding. That all changed at a local LAN party in Holland, where he was exposed to a new community and a new level of computing. He got back and went straight out to buy a Lian Li PC70 - one of the most awesome cases ever designed by the gurus in Taiwan.

This is a mod that continues to grow - literally. They say that a case mod is never really done, and this is certainly a good example of that. The mod has the distinction of being the tallest mod ever featured on bit-tech - not only is the PC70 a beast of a case, but it has a Vapochill additional box on the bottom as well as a custom-made watercooling housing on top. It is a beast.

The mod also borrows from that other bit-tech classic, Orac3. Shower hoses are used for cable tidying and much of the interior is polished/chromed - we like the homage, especially given the green glow.
