In pictures: Case modders

Created by veteran PC builder David Penfold, Overclocked Orange crams a huge amount of processing power inside its shiny orange shell.

As its name suggests it takes some of its inspiration from Anthony Burgess' novel A Clockwork Orange and the Kubrick film of the book.

The machine uses a dual-loop water cooling system to remove the heat generated by its overclocked Intel i7 processor and its three graphics cards.

The machine uses lots of orange LEDs to emphasise its colour theme and bring its insides to life.

Steven Dodd's case mod was a much more hands-on affair than Overclocked Orange and involved lots of DIY.

Rather than buy a case and alter it, Mr Dodd made all the parts for his case and then put the components inside.

The small size of the case means all the parts are a tight fit but the open weave mesh and fan help to keep it cool.

The end result is a sleek, slim machine that, thanks to its 500GB hard drive, acts as a media server.
