Meet the Winners

• 1st Place Wael Kadri: Wael turned the CTE C750 into a vivid gas pump from Route 66. The mod was built with many retro elements, matched with a real gas pump nozzle, and cleverly made the tubes and coolant naturally part of the gas pump. His extraordinary creativity fully displays the tribute to history while embracing innovation.
• 2nd Place Maulik Patel: Through Maulik's amazing modding skills, he integrated innovative technology with mirror artwork and Indian traditional mural craft. The CPU temperature-controlled vents at the front of the chassis and the laser projection mapping at the rear enable the PC to become more dynamic and visually pleasing.
• 3rd Place Derek Wilson: Derek breaks through himself, applying the new-learn puppet-making skills to his project. As shown in his lively video, he and his puppet buddy "Brickwell" built up a delicate gaming house, not only showing his superior filming ability but also indicating his outstanding handcrafting through the house details.
• 3rd Place Ponsarud Romvilast: The project "Holographic" is inspired by uneven colors, and Ponsarud chose purple and white as the main tones of all components. It stands out for its irregular-shaped panel design and ultra-clean cable management. This sleek CTE C750 presented his marvelous modding skills.
