Future Media, the same company behind big name magazines like PC Gamer and Maximum PC, is starting up a media offering of another kind, a social media site. The Mod Shop is a place where gamers can submit their PC mods and battle against other mods for a monthly prize of $2,000. If you love to mod PC's, then this would be a great place to get some ideas, but even if you don't, some of the computers on display will really impress you with what can be done to a normal desktop box.
Inside the Mod Shop, you can share and promote your own creations with photos, work logs, how-to articles, and more. Whether your modding hacks are simple or insane, performance-oriented or aesthetic, we invite you to contribute by chronicling your work-in-progress on your rig’s very own profile page. Thermodynamically impossible chip cooling? Body-shop-caliber case painting? Origami-like wiring jobs? Bring it on! But we’re just as interested in seeing more modest mod jobs and how they evolve month by month into works of creative genius. The site is about your machine, whoever you happen to be!
I'm sure at some point, if it becomes popular enough, this will be integrated into Maximum PC magazine. Ohh, good luck to all the contestants entering this month, it looks like a tough competition!
