LEGO has become increasingly appealing to adult builders in recent years — it has to, given that every other set costs more than $300. However, you won’t find its most recent product on a Target toy store. This weekend, the company took to Twitter to show off a massive custom haunted house design, complete with frightening details and monster mini-figs. But the greatest part is hidden just behind the brickwork: a fully functional gaming PC with a custom cooling loop fit for a mad scientist.
The parts are cleverly blended into the design. Cooling fans are built into ornamental arches, reservoirs contain LEGO spiders in “preservative,” and every inch of the outside and inside is adorned with eerie embellishments. When you open the case with the inbuilt hinges, you’ll find a massive Frankenstein monster, numerous balconies for minifigs to hang out (or from), a pipe organ for Dracula, and even a little LED displaying system temperature with bespoke brick images. Some of the minifigs are even used as festive cable routing aids.
The huge masterpiece, created from over 20,000 LEGO pieces, dwarfs any standard set. A Core i9-12900KF processor and a GeForce RTX 3090 GPU are among the hardware specifications, which began with a switch cleverly hidden beneath a gargoyle on the house’s exterior. Unfortunately, this is a promotional design: while there are many LEGOS PCs available, this one will remain a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
