**The Creation of a Dream Gaming PC**
I started by planning out this build with meticulous attention to detail and careful consideration of every aspect. The first decision I made was to leave the GPU unmodified, as it was super glued to the PCB and I didn't want to risk damaging it. Ultimately, I realized that a two-tone look would add even more character to the build, so I left it as is.
After gathering all the parts, I dropped them off at Roman's shop and waited for almost a week to get them back. In the meantime, another wild idea started taking shape in my mind – what if this build was completed and sitting side by side with an actual Lamborghini in the same stunning color? How epic would that be?
To make this vision a reality, I set out on a hunt to track down a car in the same color as the Lamborghini. I needed to find a car within the GTA to see if I could rent it for a day just to get that perfect shot of the PC sitting beside the car. After searching high and low, I finally came across this beautiful Huracan Evo from GTA Exotics based in Hamilton. Stuart, the owner, was incredibly accommodating, even when I shared my wild idea with him.
We locked in a date to rent the Lamborghini, but there was a catch – I was still waiting on the components from Ronin, and the build was far from complete. A few days before the shoot, I received a text from Roman saying that the components were ready for pickup. I dropped everything else I was working on, jumped in the car, and picked up the parts. Then, I headed straight back to the studio and dove into building this PC.
The first step was to reassemble the GPU, which went smoothly. I even designed a custom Lamborghini sticker for the fans to tie in with the Lamborghini theme. Additionally, I picked up some double-sided adhesive thermal pads for the memory heat sink and spacers (SPS). Seeing everything come together into one piece was surreal – I couldn't believe this build was finally becoming a reality.
The start of the show is undoubtedly the case, but that GPU striking color really embodies the bold aesthetics of high-performance supercars like the Lamborghini. The M black motherboard blends in seamlessly with the rest of the build, and with the GPU mounted vertically, it gives the impression that it's floating – which is pretty sick.
The hydros shift cooler is arguably one of the best AIOs I've ever worked with, both in terms of installation and aesthetics. Those neatly routed tubes are a brilliant design choice from le le. I even added a Lamborghini logo reveal clip on the LCD; it might be a bit tacky, but hey, it's a Lamborghini-themed gaming PC, so I think it fits perfectly.
The two-tone finish on the memory modules turned out fantastic, creating a cohesive and sort of an eye-catching look. Additionally, I noticed that the metal piece attached to the radiator is now powder-coated, subtly revealing itself on the outside through the top panel – which adds an unexpected yet beautiful touch.
I wrapped up this build with some UNIF fans from Leon Lee, and the Halo lighting around the perimeter of these fans in my opinion evokes that sharp and bold design of the oron Evo. It just puts everything together really well. This project has been in the works for the past three months, and now that it's complete, I've realized that it's not just another gaming PC but rather an homage to automotive passion.
Beyond specs, I think it's about the people that I've had the privilege of working with – from Ronin's expertise in PPF to Ronan's powder coating skills, to Derek and Lewis from Project One who helped me film the car alongside the case. These individuals have contributed their time and skills to make this thing a reality, and I'm grateful for everyone involved. If you haven't heard of Project One, stop what you're doing and go subscribe to their channel – they make some of the best automotive content in my opinion, with beautiful storytelling that's truly inspiring.
**The Final Touches**
While I'm pleased with how this build turned out, there are certainly things that I don't like about it. First and foremost, I didn't realize that these side tempered glass panels are mirrored – so I might have to replace them with the stock tinted panels from the standard o1 Evo case.
Another crazy idea I've been toying with is using Alcantara material with oron stitching on the inside of the case. It's still an idea in development, but we'll see how it goes. I'm curious to hear your thoughts – are there any things that you would add or maybe remove from this build? Let me know what you guys think about this build.
