Every Monday, Build of the week highlights a unique rig from the web’s most dedicated PC building communities.
I’ve never been kissed.
By a computer, I mean! Let alone one shaped like a cubed Alien head—and we’re talking about the Alien brand here, not some generic, bug-eyed, pale loser from Roswell or whatever. Arctic Horror is a custom build out of Russia, put together by modder Igor to represent the “King of Aliens from the universe of Alien.”
The chassis is a frosty recreation of the proposed King of Aliens’ head, but the best bits are on the inside, and no, I don’t mean the components. Arctic Horror is outfitted with an animatronic mouth, complete with lips that curl and twitch, and a tiny, unkissable mouth that leaps out if you bite their lip too hard—er, press a button. See for yourself.

Arctic Horror components:
While I could see which components were included, some were missing details. But it’s appropriate really. I mean, if we knew everything about the Alien, it would lose the horror, right? Thank goodness no one’s told the origin story!
Update: Just kidding! The components were right on the build log page, and I missed them. The mystery is dead!
