Let's start off with one that needs no explanation. 。
Build by modder Thermal Mike and Thermaltake's U.S. team, they actually sourced for original DK arcade logos for this Donkey Kong case. 。
Looks like it paid off -- the mod definitely has that old arcade feel. 。
Taipei 101。
What better way to represent Taiwan than with one of its famous icons?

The Wheel of Star, which is made by Modder Crow of Thailand, is by far the craziest thing we've seen. 。We're told by a Cooler Master spokesperson that the PC case is fully functional, and equipped with a HDMI wireless transmitter, so it can still connect to devices -- despite being in that case. 。
