An unexpected tribute to Leonardo da Vinci's incomparable work of art lies in the lobby of PC maker Asus' headquarters in Taiwan. It's a Mona Lisa collage created from old motherboards and computer chips. It's no patch on the real thing but is still an amazing work of geek art.

Asus designers reportedly dreamed up this Mona Lisa. The work represents two things: a reminder of the technology that Asus built its fortune on and the company's ethos to encourage and support "any kind of crazy ideas."
