This gaming PC stuffed right into a desk chair doubles as a butt hotter

PC gaming modders like to stuff gaming PCs into issues that aren’t gaming PCs. I really like a construct that hides all of the PC components in a desk for a modern “invisible” setup. However are you able to cover one beneath your… ahem… posterior? One YouTuber managed to just do that, stuffing a full desktop gaming PC (or no less than its components) into an workplace chair.

The Mainly Homeless channel (through PCGamer) went with a Mini-ITX construct and ran the facility and information cables up by means of the bottom, with sufficient slack that the sitter can nonetheless get a little bit of literal wiggle room. A lot of the main elements are immediately beneath the seat cushion due to a whole lot of customizations on the bottom with elevated spacers. The GPU can sit off to the facet due to a PCIe riser.

Mixed with a flex server energy provide, some 3D printing, and a bunch of trial and error, the completed product is surprisingly modern. A custom-printed housing hides all the center, grants entry to the I/O ports, and permits sufficient airflow to maintain it from dying. I really like the way in which the USB ports come out within the spot the place the chair will be fitted with a footrest.

With an AMD Ryzen 9 9800X3D CPU, a low-profile RTX 4060 graphics card, and 64GB of RAM, the tip result’s beefy when it comes to precise gaming energy. And whereas the chair appears a bit of thicker than a standard chair, I’d by no means suspect that there’s a chunky gaming PC hiding in there. It’s super-sleek with all of the cables working by means of the bottom. And on the finish of the video, Mainly Homeless combines the entire thing with a head-mounted VR show for the last word seat setup.

Ridiculous? Sure. This factor appears to have taken weeks of effort for an aesthetic end result that’s solely good for, effectively, a YouTube video. However I’ve to respect the engineering and the sheer audacity of it.
