A team of creatives from London-based Billet Labs, a company specializing in innovative PC cooling systems, have revealed their new project. They took a 50-kilogram cast-iron radiator that once heated someone's home in Victorian times and installed all the usual components of a gaming computer underneath it.
This creation, which combines technologies from different centuries, is in the final stages of construction. In a video on Instagram, the developers said that at the time of recording they had just started installing copper radiators and a system of pipes to connect the computer's "hot" components to this gigantic tank with a volume of more than 10 liters.
The entire computer's internals are hidden under the body of this "monster." Looking from the back, you can see the video card ports, motherboard interfaces, and a hole for exhausting air from the power supply, writes Tom's Hardware.
"By the time I get it all together, everything here will be in copper tubes, and... it's going to look crazy," the master of creating custom cooling systems muses in the video.
It's unclear what Billet components they've chosen for this build, but it would be unfair to the Victorian cast iron radiator to use anything other than the best gaming CPUs and graphics cards. These components tend to be power hungry and require a lot of cooling, so this custom design could be the perfect solution to keep them running at full capacity, quietly, and without overheating.
