I had no idea that Austin has a local case modding organization. Austin Modders provides an online forum for sharing pictures and tutorials. I was thinking about the extent the Internet may have spurred the case-modding hobby; despite the physicality of the case-modding, it seems that users would be more apt to show their work to other modders online instead of working for an audience in meatspace. Wikipedia has a short history that was probably written by enthusiastic case modders. I didn't find it so enlightening, but the entry led me to the Austin Modders site. Austin Modders don't seem to have regular face-to-face meetings like Austin Bloggers or a user group, but it looks like they sponsor competitive case mod shows.
I don't have any interest in doing case modding myself, but it would be interesting to check out a case-modding show.
You might have already seen this in your perusal of the Austin Modders sites, but just in case:

I ran across it a few weeks back and, while I'm not too interested in case modding myself, I really like the guy's level of work and attention to detail.

Along with larger events.
Austin Modders isn't just about computer or PC modding, any type of electronics or artistic projects is welcome.
