Intel x Micro Center In-Store PC Build Contest!
When Intel's 12th Gen processors released last month, every one of our stores put together a computer to celebrate. We've posted them all to our Build Showcase with #Intel12GENxMC, but we can't decide which one is the best. So we want you to pick for us!
We've posted our six favorite builds below. Some are just fantastic builds, some are incredibly thematic rigs, and some are just pure powerhouses for Cinebench and 3D Mark.
So, take a look at the incredible builds our stores put together, then pick your favorite in the poll below!
Special thanks to Intel for providing parts!

Houston Tx. Great gaming pc isn't 100% top score.. that will always change. Better to rock a fantastic looking build that will do solid gaming for years to come.

Sharonville, OH
I went with "Sharonville, OH" because it is a clean looking build even without the RGB lighting. Also, the Eva-00 prototype reference and Neon Genesis Evangelion artwork on the glass is an awesome touch.
