One of the many joys of PC gaming is the ability to customise your gaming computer to your heart’s content.<\/p>\n

For most of us, this means upgrading graphics cards, managing our cables, and setting up liquid cooling if we’re feeling adventurous.<\/p>\n

Below are some hardware enthusiasts that push\u00a0the concept\u00a0of PC modification to its limits with crazy and amazing gaming rigs:<\/p>\n

\n

Laine’s Luna<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

The world’s smallest liquid-cooled gaming PC, the Luna is the mad creation of Swedish PC modder Simon Laine.<\/p>\n

The device features a Gigabyte BRIX Pro with an\u00a0Intel Core i7-4770R.<\/p>\n

Boasting Iris Pro 5200 integrated graphics, the Luna\u00a0packs a ton of power in a tiny, absolutely beautiful package.<\/p>\n

Modular Mineral Oil Rig<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

This mineral oil PC build \u00a0features an insane amount of features and accessibility.<\/p>\n

This is actually a proven method of PC cooling, as the oil is non-conductive and does not damage any of the PC parts.<\/p>\n

Its complex and fitted case allows for hot-swappable hard drives despite the build’s immersion in mineral oil.<\/p>\n
