This PC is big enough to live in and has it’s own AC for cooling the giant internals

A Chinese creator built a room-sized RGB PC with a desk, fake giant components, and a 12kW air conditioner, turning desktop cooling into a walk-in stunt about heat and airflow.

A room-sized RGB PC makes one thing clear, even imaginary giant components still need serious cooling.

A Chinese creator has built a walk-in PC that turns desktop cooling into a human-scale spectacle. The fish-tank-style tower has enough room for a person, a compact desk, and a gaming setup, making the creator look like one of the tiny figures builders sometimes place inside flashy cases.

The build comes from TechTuber Soda Baka, who shared the project on Bilibili. It scales up familiar PC modding cues, including wall-sized fan housings, a huge graphics card prop, chunky cooler parts, and plenty of RGB lighting.

The size gets attention first, but the sealed enclosure soon becomes a heat trap.

The giant parts are mostly props

Soda Baka’s build starts like a serious PC project, with sketching, modeling, and fabrication before the frame comes together. The finished tower looks like an extreme version of the glass-heavy desktop cases that put every component on display.

Most of the human-scale hardware is built for show. The oversized fans, GPU, RAM sticks, and liquid cooler pieces appear to be nonfunctional, while working PC gear gives the creator something to use once he sits down at the desk.

The absurdity is carefully staged. Its size sells the illusion without pretending this is a practical computer anyone should recreate at home.

Why the AC matters

The air conditioner becomes the key component once the sealed enclosure starts heating up. To mimic a PC’s thermal problem at room scale, the creator uses hot-coal sauna gear and water to push the interior above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, or 38 degrees Celsius.

With the huge fans and coolers serving as set dressing, the build relies on a 12kW AC unit with claimed 820 cubic meters per hour of air circulation. The joke only works because the AC does the job the fake cooling hardware can’t.

What to watch next

The build looks more like a promo stunt than a mod worth copying. It may also be tied to an air conditioner sponsorship, though it isn’t fully confirmed.

For actual PC builders, the useful lesson is narrower and more practical. Glass-heavy cases, dense layouts, and sealed spaces all need a real airflow plan before heat becomes the limiting factor. Start with intake, exhaust, and component clearance before chasing the look.

Microsoft says it has started releasing a service-side update for a classic Outlook bug that caused Office files to load blank, show repair prompts, or trigger corruption warnings.

The Outlook documents problem affects Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files opened through OneDrive and SharePoint links in classic Outlook. For workers who live in Microsoft 365, the bigger headache isn’t only the blank screen. It’s the uncertainty Outlook creates when a file that may be fine suddenly looks broken.

AI chatbots continue feeding into our worst delusions, finds worrying report on ChatGPT and Grok

AI companions may be making mental health crises even worse

Grok

AI chatbots were meant to help answer your questions, maybe summarize questions, and even help you with your emails. But the darker problem is what happens when people start trusting it like an actual companion. A new report highlights several cases where users say chatbot conversations are feeding into their delusional thinking.

ChatGPT and Grok were both often named in the report. BBC spoke to 14 people who spiraled into delusions while using AI, including one case where a Grok user believed people from xAI were coming to kill him, and another where a ChatGPT user’s wife said his personality changed before he attacked her.
