The copper/steel one gets my vote

Some really cool ones no doubt... Art deco, amorpheous, and pumpkin are all pretty cool, but the Tesla set is my personal fave...

Looking at the history chess set I was thinking that a "Cold War" chess set would be cool.

The Tesla set is nice. It looks like they made their own CRT's because those are a bit hard to find.
