Hi, new here. I am a college student requesting help.

Hi everyone,

My name is Jae, and I am a college student at Art Center College of Design in Southern California, in the city of Pasadena. I along with 2 other teammates were given a wonderful opportunity to research the culture behind case mods, video game mods, and modifications of both aesthetic, multi-purpose, new purpose, or performance in general. More specifically though, our research is to observe, identify, and to learn through participation with in-person interview of current or past modders.

Our group has little to no knowledge of the modding community, however we are extremely excited and fascinated by the mods found both here and across the world wide web, and we would like to learn more about the culture, motivations, and ideas behind it.

And so, we ask your help that if anyone here on the forums would not mind offering a bit of their time to do in-person reviews with us. We are looking for people near our area, Southern California. We are willing to drive a bit to meet you all, so distance is not a huge issue unless you are out of state. In fact, we can treat you out to lunch, dinner, or a drink as an incentive for offering your help. Or if you are not directly available, but know of people or companies in the Southern California area that you can refer us to, we would greatly appreciate that as well.

Thank you, we greatly appreciate you taking your time to read through this, if interested, we hope to hear from you soon!

Sincerely,
Jae

I would be willing to, but I'm in Michigan. You may want to check out thebestcasescenario.com if you would like to interview some case modders. I know of a few members there who are in California.

We have some California members here, too.

Wow, thank you for your quick response! Ah, its unfortunate that you are so far away, but if you can connect us with the California members here on the forum that would be wonderful. Thank you, we will check out the website you recommended as well.
