Description:
Lego dressed up an RTX 3090-powered gaming PC as a haunted house, and we
can't stop thinking about it.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Lego has unveiled a new one-of-a-kind Haunted House set, though just one of its parts costs several times what the publicly available Haunted House set does. After all, this one contains an RTX 3090, making it more than any
normal Lego build: its a fully functioning gaming PC thats as terrifying as
it is powerful.

Using over 20,000 bricks, Lego has created a mansion that wouldnt be out of place in any of the best horror movies or Scooby-Doo episodes. Theres the entry hallway filled with paintings and hunting trophies that seem to be watching you, a kitchen with a bubbling cauldron, and a massive organ so the setting can have the ominous backing track it deserves.

But to find out what this house is really hiding youll have to pull on one of its gargoyle decorations to bring its not-so-secret laboratory to life. Glowing white fans will illuminate the crypt and send a chill through the
air, while bubbling neon green liquid will start flowing through the pipes of this custom-made water cooling system, as the beast inside awakens. Just in time for Halloween This monster, one-off, brick-built gaming PC is giving us the chills. pic.twitter.com/0PhL05ko8g October 23, 2022 See more

Because if you thought this build wasnt impressive enough based on its design alone, Lego has outfitted its PC with specs that would put most rivals to shame.

It comes with one of the best processors Intel has released in years the Intel Core i9-12900K and Nvidias ultra-powerful GeForce RTX 3090 one of the best graphics cards money can buy. While thats all that Lego tells us about the PCs specs directly, we do get a handy view of its stat screen which reveals this haunted house also runs on 32 GB of DDR5 RAM .

And beneath those floorboards is a lot of storage space for monsters (and the best PC games) to hide. Legos possessed PC comes with 1TB of total storage spread evenly across its C and D drives the only thing we dont know is if
its SSD storage or HDD storage . Given the PCs other aspects though, we would expect it to be the former. Opinion: Let's get creative with our builds

Legos toys have been inspiring creativity for several decades, and this Lego PC build is already inspiring us to think about how we might spice up our
next PC build.

While it adds to the complexity of the project as you have to think extra hard about the size, component compatibility, and cooling capabilities of a custom PC case it also gives the final project a much more personalized
feel. Only our former computing writer Jessica Weatherbed could rock the glittering crystal computer she made last year. So shiny (Image credit: Future)

So next time youre looking up how to build a PC you might also want to think about how to make it feel like your own. That could be some simple color coordination for your components, or it could be taking a page out of the brickmakers book and turning one of your favorite Lego sets into a PC.

Or you could skip the hassle that comes with building a PC from scratch and instead just customize one of the best gaming PCs of 2022 thats already been made for you.
