Fillimon is at it again creating a keyboard called "Fragment of the Empire."
Seriously, this guy is a MACHINE at cranking out unique and beautiful works of art and this one is no exception.
Brassy and sassy are the two words to describe this. Creating a steampunk typewriter feel with some handwork at the sewing machine, he is in the process of creating another "Fillimon."
I personally have to say the coolest bit about this mod so far, is the CRAZY attention to detail. Fillimon makes the volume buttons by scratch, but also makes the icons above it as well from a small designed sketch. He always takes his mods to the next level and you need to consider hopping on the elevator.

TheGreatSatan came out with another one of his wacky contests for TBCS. This time, He decided to play "Satan" Clause and wanted to hear the naughtiest story (PG with Innuendos! Sorry, no nudes here folks) that TBCS members have to offer.
He gave everyone the deadline of December first, and four winners would recieve the fantastic prize...OF WHATEVER ONE ITEM THEY WANTED! (Equalling $50). Now thats a Christmas present, gift cards....eat your heart out.
So, on that fateful day, Satan Clause went back to his laboratory to sit down and read all the bad little girls and boys letters from TBCS.
He's come back to announce that the naughtiest members of TBCS are:- Crazy Buddhist!
- Bopher!
- IndyBird!
With Best story from
- BerticusPryme!
Congratulations to the winners and thanks to all those who participated. Till next time, keep on the modding and look for another wacky TBCS contest!

The Memristor
Bootup times too slow? Battery life too short? Tired of primitive things like moving parts? The future is here, and it’s called the memristor.
Memristors are a newly-discovered fourth fundamental circuit, joining the resistor, capacitor and inductor. Unlike these circuits, a memristor (short for memory resistor) is able to store data without the need for power or moving parts. Sound like flash memory? It is, but only in that way. Memristors can store data more densely than today’s hard drives and access it as quickly as standard DRAM memory, while using less power than either.

Do you have an idea for a mod? How about a mod that’s already completed? If you do, come show the world your progress! TheBestCaseScenario loves to encourage budding computer case modders to contribute their creative musings to our community!
You might ask; "Hey TBCS, how the heck can I showcase my fancy shmancy work, and where can I learn such shenanigans!?" Look no further. One of our friendly neighborhood moderators wrote a fantastic how-to guide on creating kick-ass project worklogs.

Review by Blueonblack
Overall Rating:
General Overview
The Tuniq Tower 120 Ultra Silent CPU Cooler does the job. Its size can be a complication for some systems, but it is just this feature that allows the 120 to perform as well as it does. If cooling performance is critical and water-cooling is not an option, assuming you have the space for it, the Tuniq Tower 120 is an excellent choice.

Filimon, the member who brought us The Steampunk Mouse, and The Stainless Mouse, has given us another custom metal treat.
Project: Gothic Cooler is an amazing piece of custom fabricated metal to cool your PC. Because Filimon speaks very little English [Could be zero], he lets pictures of his work do the talking for him. I thought it was about time we had some questions answered about how he works, so I took a moment and sat down with Filimon for a one on one interview [check it out HERE].

Thorkon recreates the 'Black Mage' from the popular game franchise "Final Fantasy" in his latest mod, "8-Bit Black Mage Computer Case". Over 2000 wooden blocks are carefully arranged to recreate the character in an 8 bit, 3D version. Despite containing few pictures, his worklog also contains a video following the progression of the entire project! The video goes through every detail of the process over the period of sixty hours (Sped up for our Benny Hill viewing pleasure)
Thorkon's craftsmanship should not go unnoticed, and everyone should go ahead and check out his worklog/workvideo.
You can find the full worklog HERE.

Following the release of Disney and Pixar's latest movie, Wall-E, modder Frenkie has designed this delightful DVD-ROM drive in the image of our favourite little character. From the smudged and grubby body to the woeful little eyes, this mod is not only excellent in the delivery, but has so much character that you feel sorry for the little guy.
Frenkie's done a brilliant job and has deliverered an excellent (and somewhat puppy-eyed) mod.

BerticusPrime shows us the difference that can be made to a computer case, and in turn, to someone's life. He took ideas from CHIMAERA on TBCS and built him the computer that he could not afford. BerticusPrime shows a great deal of TBCS spirit, and caring for his fellows. Modders come to The Best Case Scenario for the great mods, but love it for the great members.
Check it out HERE.

It's a well known fact, when starting University or College, it's time to fend for yourself after being mollycoddled for most of your life. The staple diet for a long time, is going to consist of beans on toast. TBCS offers our many student members some easy ideas for uni that don't rely on a can opener.

The classics never die, but some do inspire resurrections. TBCS member “The_Crippler” is an old school horror flick fan and as such he chose to pay homage to one of his favorite classic horror films “Night Of The Living Dead” on it’s 40th anniversary. His custom designed case mod brought new life to an old chassis and his dusty Packard Bell case rose from the grave to walk among the living and eat brains...

TBCS frequenters are among those few geeks at the forefront of technology who know about the continuing need for faster processors. But speed is becoming less about Gigahertz and more about multiple cores. With technology improving, how many cores will be enough?

Blueonblack reviews the Apevia X-Discovery case from Xoxide:
"The X-Discovery is exactly what it was designed to be: an eye-catching piece of hardware that fills all of the requirements of a mid-tower case. While it may not have some of the features that many have come to expect in a modern mid-tower, it performs the function satisfactorily and looks beautiful doing it. At this price range, if appearance is important to you, this case comes highly recommended."

Our very own jdbnsn is well on his way to being certified to mod humans! Jdbnsn has been studying to become a surgeon, and has recently passed his written board exam, meaning that ony a practical exam stands between him and a sexy looking surgery gown with his name on it. Congratulations from the TBCS team, and keep up the good work!
Be sure to show him how proud we are of him and post a sexy nurse!
More on that HERE!
Be sure to read the rules!
