    Ok. So I started watching (1080p! whee) and noticed the nearly 15 minute runtime. I said to myself "there's no way in hell I'm getting through this." The next thing I know, it ended. Awesome. Definitely enough good content to keep someone like me, who is only moderately interested in case modding and building computers in general, tuned in and satisfied for the length of the show.

    So what are your "day jobs?" Are you lucky enough to mod PCs for a living? I got the impression that Brad is a motorcycle painter to pay the bills. Can't wait to see more painting and vinyl cutting in the series.

    Like Cliff, I plan on watching this regularly.

    @Annes, thats good to hear! I've been modding PCs full time for 2 years now. I also make case accessories, which helps pay the bills when modding is slow. Our goal with the series is to inspire more people to explore the fun in PC Modding. The following 4 episodes will delve into our most popular requests for diy mod guides, including painting your mouse with carbon fiber effect and custom painting your own case, whether it's aluminum or steel!

    @QuadWhore, Glad you liked it! I think you'll like the following episodes even more! We're hoping to make a 2nd season and so far, it sounds like the response has been very good, so we can achieve that goal!


    The next episode should be posted next Tuesday! Thank you for watching and sharing your comments! :rockon:

    Did you try Cooler Master's website?

    Yeah I'm finding them all over the place now. I think I can fit a 200mm nicely with a little mod work up front in the lower chamber of my lian li v2000b to replace the 120mm.
    Right now the 120mm is blowing into a shrouded pa160 rad. Maybe I could just move up to a 160 fan and attach it 1:1 but I haven't seen any 160mm fans yet.

    Performance-PCs has a variety of larger cooling fans

    You can buy 200mm fans from NZXT, IIRC.

    Watch progress unfold in Episode #4 of the MOD MEN series as our fearless modders focus on the ins and outs of water cooling – the custom waterblock, top, and reservoir. You’ll also get results of the all-important test loop – will it be water tight??? And back at Brad’s paint shop, you’ll get a tutorial on how to apply a cool pinstripping effect –
