The best case mods from Computex 2017

Wes has been covering games and hardware for more than 10 years, first at tech sites like The Wirecutter and Tested before joining the PC Gamer team in 2014. Wes plays a little bit of everything, but he'll always jump at the chance to cover emulation and Japanese games.

When he's not obsessively optimizing and re-optimizing a tangle of conveyor belts in Satisfactory (it's really becoming a problem), he's probably playing a 20-year-old Final Fantasy or some opaque ASCII roguelike. With a focus on writing and editing features, he seeks out personal stories and in-depth histories from the corners of PC gaming and its niche communities. 50% pizza by volume (deep dish, to be specific).

If this Donkey Kong case mod by modder Thermaltake Mike (larger image here) doesn't fire off every videogame love receptor in your brain, I don't know what will. This might be the best damn case mod I've ever seen, and builds like it are the highlight of Computex every year. Most of Computex's booths draw crowds with flashy custom PC builds, with intricate liquid cooling and cool cases and colorful LEDs. Luckily, that means there are dozens of awesome PCs for us to photograph and lust after.

Here are all the cool custom PCs we spotted at Computex, from incredibly elaborate case mods to no-nonsense perfect builds. We wish we could play Doom on every one of them.
