Build of the week: Cerbero

Finally, a PC I can ride into Valhalla. Behold, Cerbero, an impressive project from case modder Warboy. It’s an angular, abstract build that could impale a person on a bad day. On a good day, it’s impaling benchmarks and eyeballs thanks to some decent specs and those industrial peaks and valleys.

The design elevates the hardware, and six fans keep dust from settling too easily on its exposed innards. I’m a fan of Cerbero’s design. There’s a feeling of spontaneity and fun in its jutting angles and excess. And it isn’t overtly homage or imitation—just metal sculpture, albeit with a PC hanging from the bottom like an infant robot monkey.

For more pics and information, check out the build log or Warboy’s Facebook page.

James is stuck in an endless loop, playing the Dark Souls games on repeat until Elden Ring and Silksong set him free. He's a truffle pig for indie horror and weird FPS games too, seeking out games that actively hurt to play. Otherwise he's wandering Austin, identifying mushrooms and doodling grackles.
