Every Monday, Build of the week highlights a unique rig from the web's most dedicated PC building communities.

This week’s build comes to us from Suchao Prowphong out of Thailand. And if it wasn’t already evident from the name, size, or its tiny spoiler—yeah, the Core X 2 Furious was inspired by the Fast and Furious movies. It channels the spirit of expensive sports cars inside and out. The sleek white exterior is detailed in such a way as to suggest bumpers and headlights, all the while avoiding any hokey expression of its automobile origins.

The PC’s guts literally house two computers, hence the “2” and hence my bewilderment. It’s hard to get a sense of its size without anyone in frame, but the build stands at least as tall as a toddler. A grown man could probably climb inside and live there, maybe start a family.

As pristine as the final product looks, constructing the Core X 2 Furious was an arduous process, requiring an impressive amount of custom chassis components, cooling fixtures, and muscle. I wonder how much that thing weighs.

To see how much effort went into the build with accompanying photos from the process, check out Prowphong’s official build log.

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.
