I figured it would be great to ask him the stuff the READERS would want to see, so, any questions?

What is modding?

What does he use to bend plexi?
Does he prefer laser cutting or working by hand?
What is he's preferred material to work with?
How many mods has he done?
How long does such a mod take to finish?
How many sponsors does he have and who?

I think that should be enough questions for now
:D

From where does he draw inspiration?

What tools would he recommend beginner modders invest in?

How thoroughly does he plan beforehand? i.e. If an idea pops into his head mid-mod, does he run with it, or stick to the initial outline?

Could even someone like Jamin make a mod?

Valid point. Fleshmodder :P

I'd like to know what his biggest errors were, or what the most useful advice is that he could give, to prevent others making the same mistakes.

Reservoirs... What does he use? What brand? Which are best? Custom? Hints to build a custom one? So forth... Or t-lines? :P

[ot] Dae, thanks for giving us the opportunity to air some questions, obviously not all of them will be asked and answered, but thanks for giving fellow forum members the opportunity. +200 forum points (if I'm allowed to give them :? )

Most expensive mod paid for out of his own pocket?

What does he prefer...weekend modding or modding whenever the bug bites, and how much time would he spend on one such session?

What is his better half's(assuming he has one) feeling about the amount of time he spends modding?

Did he ever mod a screen unto the side of a case?
Does he only mod the case/exterior/visual, or does he peuter with some of the hardware too? :wink:
And did he ever think of creating his own watercooling system?


Come to think of it, have YOU ever thought about making watercooling DAE? Maybe you could like do it, and have a modding series throughout the mag...That would be awesome^8473286 ! 8) 8)

Thats genius!!!!

Having a 22" on the side panel of your case, basically built into your case!!
So, you just turn your PC case sideways and then BAM!! You have your PC already half setup! :twisted: :twisted:

Would be awsome going to a LAN and having soo much more space and it would be soo much easier to pack up.etc

You could evne do something with the keyboard and/or mouse so your entire PC is basically just your case...

I WANT ONE!!!!!! :cry: :cry:

DAE, I think you HAVE TO DO a mod like this, make it the ultiamte LAN PC mod! :P
Or the ultimate small all-in-one PC mod for gaming :)

If I were to try do some serious modding id do something like that!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :D

OK, now about the questions, HmmZ...err.
  • How long has he been modding for
    What/who are his inspiration(s)
    Which is his best work in his opinion so far
    Which bank he robbed before he got his sponsors and how he managed it
    Which questions he would like to be asked
    Which is the best mod(s) (apart from his mods) in his opinion
    Who is the best moder other than him in his opinion
    Does he consider himself a good modder
:P

EDIT: We need to get the list tag buttons fixed...the code they use is incorrent :roll:
