a mod is a change basically usually for the better..like if you make mods to your computer you change it around to get new better parts for it.

IT's short for modification. A case mod is where someone takes a computer case and does something unique with it, or uses something that wasn't originally a computer case and makes a computer out of it. Like my computer

I tried to give my mod a more of a purpose then just a window with pretty lights in the side. Mine is portable.

You reminded me of this page:

Someone built a cardboard pc with a mini itx motherboard. I think it's kind of interesting, especially because you can doodle all over it when you're bored.
