Fully custom copper PC features upcycled blowtorch reservoir — antique wooden pedestal complements steampunk design hiding a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, RX 9070 XT
If Edison and Stephenson had teamed up to build a gaming PC, it might have looked like this custom copper and wood all-AMD design.
A PC enthusiast has created a stunning all-AMD build that has garnered attention for its unique steampunk-inspired design. The PC's centerpiece is an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor paired with a Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card. This powerful duo is supported by 32GB of DDR5-6000 RAM, which is no small feat given the current memory market.
The aesthetic of the build is rooted in antique and industrial elements, with copper cooling apparatus and a custom wooden pedestal playing major roles. The custom liquid loop cooling system is made from copper pipes, elbow joints, and welds, creating an eye-catching steam-powered visual effect. A standout feature of the build is the "reservoir made from an old Primus Blowtorch," complete with a sight gauge, adding a nostalgic touch to the machine.
To complement the steampunk theme, Old-Mate-Fetus, the builder of this custom PC, constructed a base using dark hardwood with an antique finish and brass screws. The power supply, likely a Corsair 850W SFX, is hidden within the wood base, and the builder has taken the extra step of creating custom cables to connect the PSU to various components.
The project has not gone unnoticed by the online community, with Redditors speculating that it could be the ultimate Steam Machine or even an espresso coffee machine. The creator of this remarkable machine has acknowledged the Billet Labs influence on the design, and they graciously accepted the compliment.
