This is the first time we've been able to cover Computex, and we have to say: this is the show for us.

While shows like E3 and CES do offer plenty of PC stuff, the Taipei tech event is undoubtedly the premier event for PC components. Whether it came down to inventive chassis or awesome case mods (like the Thermaltake's modded Thor case here), there is something at Computex for the PC enthusiast in all of us.

The following slides showcase some of the coolest and craziest stuff we saw at Computex 2015.
