Some of the world's top modders gathered in Beijing last week for Intel's big push into the Chinese PC enthusiast community. Four of bit-tech's top modders were at the event and we were also there to report on the media frenzy. Who would have thought a case modder would be treated like a rockstar?

Faced with the challenge of sexing-up CPUs as part of a domestic marketing push, Intel China devised an impressively progressive plan: tap into the talent of the worldwide modding community to combine beauty on the outside with speed and power efficiency on the inside."
