            WHO'S NEXT?
          Every few years or so, the computing
            world takes a drastic change - from breaking the GigaHertz barrier
            in 1999 to the introduction of Hyper-Threading technology or 64-bit
            computing into the consumer desktop space. This time around, the
            radical change will take place in your garage, backyard or even in
            your secret tree house. Yes! And this is the time and place where
            you can start to put your creativity and thoughts to work and
            contribute your ideas to shape the future of PCs.
The MSI
            Case-Mod Competition is our first ever contest that seeks talented
            computer users to showcase their own custom designed PCs.
            Contestants will get the chance to show off their “home-made” PC, be

            if you're a newbie or expert, the contest is opened to individuals
            with a creative mind and those that dare to be different.
