Bored with your Peltier? Tired of over-clocking your graphics card? Wondering if there’s anything left to mod inside your case? For all of you out there who’ve run out of modding ideas, we’ve found three projects that you may not have considered.

Bored with your Peltier? Tired of over-clocking your graphics card? Wondering if there's anything left to mod inside your case? For all of you out there who've run out of modding ideas, we've found three projects that you may not have considered.

The first is a 'HowTo' from the guys at Digital-Explosion, covering hard-drive water-cooling. The article is part of a continuing series on water-cooling in general, so if you're interested, check it out.

The second 'HowTo' covers a somewhat neglected area of the PC modding world – the humble Network Interface Card (NIC). Virtual Hideout has an article showing you how to move the LEDs on your NIC from where they currently reside, to the front of your PC. Check out the pictures of the final product - the finished mod looks awesome, and will be a must for anyone who is a fan of bright flashy shiny things (aren't we all?).

The third and final 'HowTo' is a video covering the procedures involved in making your own device bus, for a cost of around $10. You can catch it at livepc.tv
