Let’s be honest, gaming PC case designs have gone overboard over the last few years. There’s too much RGB involved, and most gamers enjoy it for a few days before the blinding lights become more distracting than immersive. Somewhere along the way, many PC makers seem to have forgotten that not every enthusiast wants their setup to look like a nightclub.

There’s still room for designs that are restrained and still genuinely premium. When I first laid eyes on the Aston Martin collaboration with Chillblast, it was refreshing to see a gaming PC that embraced elegance instead of excess. Finished in Aston Martin’s satin Iridescent Emerald paint and crafted with the same attention to detail associated with the British marque’s grand tourers, these machines look less like gaming hardware and more like automotive sculptures.

Designer: Aston Martin x Chillblast

The British PC builder has created three limited-edition gaming systems inspired by Aston Martin’s design philosophy. Prices start at £3,749 and climb all the way to £15,999, placing them firmly in luxury territory. Yet for buyers seeking exclusivity and top-tier performance in equal measure, these systems offer something that few gaming PCs even attempt.

What makes the collaboration interesting is that Aston Martin’s involvement goes beyond simply lending a badge. The design team worked closely with Chillblast to create a collection that reflects the same principles found in the company’s sports cars. The signature Iridescent Emerald finish immediately sets the systems apart, shifting subtly under different lighting conditions much like it does on Aston Martin vehicles. Copper-toned accents and carefully integrated branding further reinforce the automotive connection without feeling forced or overly decorative.

The range consists of three models, each targeting a different type of enthusiast. At the entry point sits the Icon Edition, offering high-end gaming credentials while introducing the collection’s distinctive design language. Moving up the ladder is the Iconic Edition, which balances premium styling with even more powerful hardware. At the top is the truly extravagant Ultimate Edition, a machine that combines uncompromising performance with collector-grade exclusivity.

Underneath the custom exterior panels lies hardware that can rival some of the most powerful gaming systems available today. Depending on configuration, buyers can expect flagship AMD processors, NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics cards, generous amounts of DDR5 memory, and high-capacity NVMe SSD storage. Advanced cooling solutions ensure the systems maintain peak performance during extended gaming sessions, content creation workloads, or demanding professional tasks.

What stands out most, however, is the restraint. Instead of relying on aggressive angles, oversized vents, or endless RGB strips, these PCs demonstrate that gaming hardware can feel mature and luxurious. They look equally at home in a high-end office, a modern living room, or an Aston Martin showroom. The Aston Martin x Chillblast collection won’t be for everyone, as the pricing alone ensures that. But that’s also the point. These machines occupy the same space as luxury watches or limited-edition supercars!

Have you been criticized for your compulsive gaming? Has your mom lost her cool and said, “You play computer games all day, why don’t you just live in a computer?” If your answer is yes, then thanks to a new PC case mod made in China, the idea could literally be possible. At least if you’re modder Soda Baka. For everyone else, it’s a fish-tank PC case humans can live in like figurines in a regular PC.

From how it appears in the images, Chinese modder and creator Soda Baka has built what is literally a walk-in PC, where humans can live with computer innards. The video of the entire build has been shared by the modder on China’s premier video-sharing platform Bilibili. It is literally a PC case with enough room for a person to live in and play video games sitting inside.

Designer: Soda Baka

Easily the largest gaming PC case ever made, it is not only huge in its structure, built as a functional PC in human scale; in fact, the PC components including the fan, mainboard, RAM, and graphics, have also been scaled up to complement the size. The most interesting still is the air conditioning setup included to keep the system cool when the gaming gets hot.

From what we can fathom from the uploaded video, the mammoth system can actually be used as a gaming PC. The modder can be seen sitting inside the huge PC and playing games on it, with a small monitor, also placed inside the computer itself. The entire creation – which seems to be created only for the video, or an advertisement for the included Midea air conditioner (we have no real proof at the time of writing) – looks amazingly realistic with giant rotating fans and functional RGB LED lighting.

Video of Soda’s build of the massive PC starts out like a serious project, blending construction and modding. Many humongous replica components like the wall-sized fans, GPU, AiO CPU coolers, and RAM, etc., are built and installed along with RGB lighting to create something that you can enter, sit in, and play some games. In addition to liquid cooling and dummy fans, a 12kW Midea AC unit has been installed inside the PC to maintain temperatures from rising above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, or 38 degrees Celsius.

The massive computer case is definitely a treat to the eye, and a dream come true for anyone who’s ever been told to “live inside the computer,” but it does seem a gimmicky creation. Of course, its sheer size grabs attention instantly, but it also means that it is not something you and I can recreate at home. It’s a result of dedication and hard work and not a child’s play. Still, if you can manage to build one like this, you could certainly live inside and play games to your heart’s content.
