With over two decades covering videogames, Tim has been there from the beginning. In his case, that meant playing Elite in 'co-op' on a BBC Micro (one player uses the movement keys, the other shoots) until his parents finally caved and bought an Amstrad CPC 6128. These days, when not steering the good ship PC Gamer, Tim spends his time complaining that all Priest mains in Hearthstone are degenerates and raiding in Destiny 2. He's almost certainly doing one of these right now.

While wandering Microsoft's showing here at E3, I stumbled across this insanely cool custom PC. Created by PC Junkie Mods, it is of course based on Winston, the simian tank hero from Overwatch, Blizzard’s team-based meme generator. The detail crammed into his clay-modelled face is nuts, and when you scoot around to check out his butt you’ll find electric blue water cooling for the SSD, GPUs and mobo. Brilliantly, Winston’s Tesla Cannon weapon actually doubles as the reservoir.

Sweet aesthetics aside, Winston’s innards consist of an i7-6700k CPU, Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming G1 motherboard, Cooler Master V1000 heatsink, 32GB of DDR4 memory, a 750 Series 400GB SSD, and a pair Nvidia Titan Xs. So yeah, safe to say it can run Overwatch. And Crysis. If custom cases are your thing, check out these crazy ones we found at Computex.
