  "account": "This wood-heavy gaming PC, named Heartwood, is a stunning and meticulously crafted work of art that took seven years to build. The desktop, posted on the PC build subreddit by Mithiral67, is made using an Inwin 909 case in brushed aluminum with a semi-open concept design. The motherboard is housed in an empty space, with no rear panel present. What truly sets this PC apart is its ingenious approach to routing cooling and power cables, which are hidden beneath the desk and run down to the basement, where the full water-cooling system resides. This unique setup makes the Heartwood PC not only visually appealing but also highly efficient, with all the cooling infrastructure located out of sight. The project's longevity can be attributed to the high cost of components, with the wood alone amounting to around $4,000 and the woodworking tools requiring an additional investment. The PC is powered by a Ryzen 9800X3D processor and an Nvidia RTX 5090 GPU, both of which contribute to the system's high performance costs. The builder, Mithiral67, started the project before the pandemic, and the lengthy construction time can be attributed to waiting for the GPU at MSRP after multiple failed attempts. The Heartwood PC's beauty lies not only in its design but also in its functionality, as it serves as a testament to the builder's skill and dedication in creating a truly remarkable desktop computer.",
  "summary": "Custom PC crafted with $4,000 worth of wood is stunning, but the near-decade-long build time was mostly about getting that RTX 5090.",
