So I have been away for some time, but I had a project started before I had some time off. Well, today it's finished. I owe a lot to be quiet! for their support, and Alphacool too. Ive been modding for some time now and I needed to get this one done, not for me, but for them. So this sadly...

It's been a while, so it's time to crack on with another mod! I'm returning to modding after a bit of a break, so my friends over at be quiet! are kindly sending me a whole load of goodies to start with. This build is going to be based around the all-new Shadow Base 800 FX black edition...

For 2023 I am kicking things off with a build in the new Hyte Y40, I've previously built in their Y60 and I thought it would be nice to follow that one up with something similar. Hyte was kind enough to send over a white version of the case and on first impressions, it looks lovely! I will be...

Hey all, hope you are doing well! It's time for another build to wrap up 2022 and so I am putting together a build in one of my favorite cases, the be quiet! Silent Base 802. A huge thank you to be quiet! for sending over this case and a few other bits to get this one going. To start I have...

While my Pan Slim from Raijintek is away for powder coating, I have received a Hyte Y60 for yet another new build! A huge thank you to Hyte for sending this over, this is an 011 competitor for sure, and I know we will see more builds featuring the Y60 in the coming weeks and months ahead. I...

Well, time to kick off another build! This time out I am super excited to have Raijintek on board, kindly sending over their beautiful Pan Slim chassis. After working with Intel on the Gamer Days build, a project that used the Raijintek Enyo, I knew I wanted to try out another one of their...

Time for a new build! The recent ASUSFext build was my first experience using a Lian Li case for a full-on build, but, as it happens, I have an 011 Mini literally sat here doing nothing from an article I did for Maximum PC, so.....why not make use of it right? So, yes, it's another 011 build...

Well, as soon as I finish the Intel Gamer Days build, I have another project to work on. Meet the ASUSFest build! ASUS has asked me to build the PC that they are giving away as part of the upcoming ASUSFest campaign, and well, it's going to be another awesome build! To be in with a chance of...

Hey all, hope you are safe and well. Intel has asked if I can put together a dual system build to celebrate Intel Gamer Days and guys, this thing is going to be absolutely enormous! If you haven’t seen or heard about Intel Gamers Days, it’s a 10-day virtual festival packed with incredible...

I've been a fan of Moto GP for as long as I can remember, the racing is close and fast, and I have witnessed some incredible highs and lows over the years. I have watched Valentino Rossi go from rookie to a multiple world champion, he's one of the all-time greats and t's been fantastic to watch...

In late 2020 MSI got in touch with me to create a system for a client, this was to be a gift for Christmas to replace an aging system. At the time they couldn’t tell me much, just that it needed to be a show build but not over the top, have a black and white theme, and that under no...

Hey all, I have seen so many people struggling with where specific connectors go when building a PC and so I thought I would put together a little guide. If you see someone struggling, please feel free to drop them a link to the video. Hope it helps the new guys.

Ok, guys and girls its time for a new build, and this time around this will be one that combines a couple of passions of mine, cars, and of course, PCs. I’ve grown up with posters on the wall of cult cars throughout the years and now, at 37, my passion for cars still remains as strong as...

We are starting a brand new project and this time, putting my ugly mug in fornt of the camera too! Im hoping to do more of my builds via videos so people can actually see them coming together, alongside my usualy write ups. This build will be based on the following hardware spec; be quiet...

Ever since we took delivery of the be quiet! Pure Base 500 we have loved it and used it for our recent Pure Pastel build. Not long after we started the project did we hear that there would be a Pure Base 500DX coming, an improved version of the case with some small changes, in particular to the...

The past few months have been amazing for Mod 83, first, our Ghostbusters build featured at EGX on the ASUS stand, we placed third in the Bit-tech Mod of the Month with Pure Pastel and also won the EVGA Gear Up Program late in 2019. Originally we had decided upon an RTX and Nvidia based build...

Welcome to my latest project, Rebellion! I have changed the name of this from Ortus, just to put some space between the cutting edge and what can be a more than adequate build, there's not going to be a 10900K in here or a 2080Ti, but it will be a great build none the less for the more casual...

Another build coming up is a project we are calling Pure Pastel. This will be a white and blue, clean, compact build using the be quiet! Pure Base 500 white windowed version, complemented with a pastel blue secondary colour scheme. We will be cramming in a full hard-lined loop courtesy of...
