Gigabyte Showcase Incredible System Mods at Computex

Crazy PC mods are nothing new to trade shows, but it seems Gigabyte is eager to steal the show at Computex 2016, as they rolled out a freaking huge selection of flagship system builds by some of the world’s top modders. Just look at this absolutely insane alien spaceship created my Maciel Barreto, easily one of the most unique builds we’ve ever seen!
Of course, every build here is sporting some high-end Gigabyte gaming hardware, they would be crazy not to!
How about a working forklift truck, with working remote control! It has built-in sound effects too! There’s a super compact water cooling loop, mini-ITX motherboard and a GTX 950 tucked into this little beast!
As if a working truck wasn’t enough, this one comes with a Gatling Gun, with a water cooling loop that joins on as if it were feeding ammo into the spinning barrel of the gun. Unfortunately it doesn’t fire ammo, that would have been awesome, but perhaps it’s best it doesn’t, just to be safe.
Another space-themed build, like something out of the Wipeout racing series, the front fins of this craft actually contain water cooling radiators! Everything is so neatly packaged, you would be fooled to thinking this wasn’t a working PC at all, but you would be wrong.
How about a mini-ITX motherboard, GPU and a custom loop water cooling setup in a 100% LEGO recreation of the building from Ghost Busters? If this isn’t one of the most creative system builds we’ve ever seen, we don’t know what is. I’d be impressed by the LEGO alone, the fact there’s a PC in here is just mind blowing.
The awesome new HexGear chassis never looked so good, with a flawless dual colour water cooling loop that literally runs through the motherboard mounting tray. So many places for this loop to go wrong, but it’s holding up perfectly. If that wasn’t impressive enough, the attention to detail on the cable routing left our jaws on the floor, we dread to think how much time it took to get this looking to tidy.
Another dual water cooling loop build, with some beautiful attention to detail with the highlighting LEDs and perfect hard tubing throughout.
A little crazy with this one, and a complex water cooling setup throughout, not an easy job by any measure.
A little less clutter in this one, but by no means a simple build. Dual reservoirs, dual GPUs and a rack of 480mm radiators crammed in there, yet it still manages to look smooth and clean throughout.
Which one of these incredible builds is your favourite?
