Unique hand-made PCs
In addition to computer troubleshooting and development, I also do build homemade PCs.
In fact, it is my first passion.
Yes, this pirate chest is a PC, and not just any PC!
Like all the computers I make, it is:
- Visually surprising (I hate common and dull PCs with a passion)
- Fast (I hate slowness with a passion)
- Reliable, extensively tested, and assembled with the highest quality components (I hate malfunctioning things with a passion)
- Made with love and rigor (I hate work half done with a passion)
That's a lot of passionate hate and a lot of passionate love. So if you want something cheap and ordinary... sorry, buy HP or Asus!
The configuration depends on your usage and your budget... The Chest, for example, is very much a computer on steroids, despite its contained size (i9 14700K, 20 cores, 5.5 GHz, 96 GB of RAM, GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, NVMe 2 TB in PCI-E 5.0...), built and thought for heavy video editing.
Many people who see pictures of my creations despise me and sometimes insult me, because clearly, that's not how you make a PC and I don't know anything about computers. In addition, it's super poorly ventilated, you have to put at least 17 fans, and a real PC must be at least one cubic meter big, it's well known.
Except no. I've been doing this for 25 years, I have a degree in thermodynamic physics, and what I do works (see "hate with a passion" number 3) so there you go.
Usually made of wood or 3D printing, I also make PCs in... cardboard boxes. It's cheap, it's fun, original and it recycles cardboard.
And it works very well.
