This gaming PC stuffed into a desk chair doubles as a butt warmer

">Basically Homeless channel (via PCGamer) went with a Mini-ITX build and ran the power and data cables up through the base, with enough slack that the sitter can still get a bit of literal wiggle room. Most of the primary components are directly under the seat cushion thanks to a lot of customizations on the base with elevated spacers. The GPU can sit off to the side thanks to a PCIe riser.

Combined with a flex server power supply, some 3D printing, and a bunch of trial and error, the finished product is surprisingly sleek. A custom-printed housing hides all the guts, grants access to the I/O ports, and allows enough airflow to keep it from dying. I love the way the USB ports pop out in the spot where the chair can be fitted with a footrest.

With an AMD Ryzen 9 9800X3D CPU, a low-profile RTX 4060 graphics card, and 64GB of RAM, the end result is beefy in terms of actual gaming power. And while the chair looks a little thicker than a normal chair, I’d never suspect that there’s a chunky gaming PC hiding in there. It’s super-sleek with all the cables running through the base. And at the end of the video, Basically Homeless combines the whole thing with a head-mounted VR display for the ultimate seat setup.

Ridiculous? Yes. This thing seems to have taken weeks of effort for an aesthetic result that’s only good for, well, a YouTube video. But I have to respect the engineering and the sheer audacity of it.
