Build of the week: Cerbero

Features
By James Davenport published 8 February 2016

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

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.

Warboy, though not part of an automotive cult in the post-apocalypse, has expertise in things shiny and chrome, having welded together Cerebro out of thick metal bars. Sparks flew and its form emerged. He then painted the freestanding emblem with an anticorrosive epoxy primer, airbrushed it, outfitted the frame with an array of LEDs, and popped the components in. Vroom, vroom.

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.
