Watch: A artistic ‘modder’ constructed a hand-crafted cardboard PC

You’ve had a tough week. You deserve a while to calm down, sit back, perhaps watch a random individual create a gaming PC made totally from hand-cut cardboard. And I don’t simply imply putting in PC parts right into a cardboard field—quite, this complete venture is an elaborate and nerdy tackle papercraft within the weirdest and most great approach.

Earlier this month, a Reddit poster shared a two-minute video of a PC construct… or not less than an approximation of 1, the place nearly each single element is lovingly simulated with hand-cut cardboard. The case is cardboard, the motherboard is cardboard, the graphics card is cardboard, even the (working!) CPU fan is cardboard. There are just a few metallic screws and brackets, and I’m guessing the ability provide is simply lined in cardboard, as that cardboard fan actually spins and there are some precise RGB parts on the cardboard RAM.

To not point out that nearly each single element is themed after the Ineffa character from Genshin Affect. Probably not my factor, nevertheless it’s not like I can throw stones right here.

The eye to element is staggering. I’m unsure who made the unique video (it could be the Reddit poster noticed by UFD Tech), however I used to be blown away once I noticed that the cardboard CPU is held into its socket with a bit stress bar. The cardboard onerous drive—sure, along with the SSD, a tough drive that’s realistically put in into its personal bay—has seen platters and an actuator arm. This can be a labor of affection by somebody who’s actually obsessive about papercraft, PC {hardware} parts, and… cling on, let me perform a little fan wiki studying… a fantasy robotic maid.

To complete the video off, the creator provides in a cardboard CRT monitor. Bravo, unusual individual, bravo. That is the proper technique to wind me down for the weekend. Give it a watch, will ya?
