Build of the week: this giant futuristic rifle is also a PC

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

Oh Cap-Ten, my Cap-Ten! What a ridiculous mod you've made. Behold ROG Carbine, a computer that is also a gun, also.

I'm not sure where modder Cap-Ten came up with the concept, but I imagine it's inspired by "science fiction," the thing all the kids are into these days. Maybe it was a wholly original thought or an act of divination. Imagine all the objects and shapes and ideas in there world. Imagine them swirling around, gaining speed, faster and faster, until a larger, more perfect object takes shape. A voice whispers, hey, check this shit out and what do you see? It's a gun, from the future.

A future gun replete with a sleek matte finish, divots and panels and lights and weird gun ribbing to imply how very futuristic it is, and best of all, a rectangular gunhole. That's where the gun comes out (I don't know anything about guns.)

I do know a few things about computers though, and while the ROG Carbine looks unwieldy and impractical as a tool for warfare against aliens or evil humans or squids that grow gun arms, it's an adept tool for waging war on graphics.

Check out the spec list below.

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.
