Modding

This competition is where creativity and technology merge, giving hardware enthusiasts the opportunity to transform conventional computing equipment into true masterpieces.

Participants will be required to demonstrate their customization and design skills, incorporating elements such as LED lighting, advanced cooling systems, themed enclosures, 3D printing, the integration of unusual materials, and striking visual effects.

The jury will evaluate each project based on the originality of the concept, technical execution, equipment functionality, and level of aesthetic detail. Whether it's a futuristic, retro, video game-inspired design, or a unique artistic touch, the important thing is to let your imagination run wild and surprise everyone.

Get ready to see computers like you've never imagined before!
