Over the past twelve months you have submitted the extraordinary. We have seen weird, special and downright beautiful builds. The winner of the Rig of the Year 2016 will receive an extra prize from our sponsor Corsair, This year that it is the Corsair Crystal 570X PC Chassis, for the modder to start a new build.

We like to thank each and everyone who participated in 2016, dozens of rigs have been submitted, but we have the difficult task of selecting one each month. Keep sending in your mods and rigs, as for 2017 we get to do it all over again.
