A homemade PC built inside an old cast-iron radiator. It's an example of how far the imagination of gamers and modders can go. 
One PC modding enthusiast took on a highly unusual experiment and built a working computer inside a massive Victorian radiator weighing approximately 50 kilograms. The project attracted attention not only for its appearance but also for its cooling approach—it eliminates the traditional case, fans, and active heat dissipation systems.
A 19th-century cast-iron radiator was used as a base, effectively turning it into a giant passive heat sink. Inside, all the essential components of a modern PC were housed: the motherboard, graphics card, and power supply. The wiring was neatly routed and hidden so as not to disturb the design's appearance. From the outside, the system looks like an ordinary antique radiator, but only upon closer inspection does it become clear that it is a fully functional computer.
The project's concept is based on a simple yet radical logic. The enormous mass of cast iron effectively absorbs the heat generated by the components, distributing it across the entire surface of the radiator. This eliminates the need for turbines and fans, meaning the system operates virtually silently. No roar, vibration, or dust—only slow, even heat dissipation thanks to the metal.
The project's author admits that this approach is hardly practical for everyday use. The design is extremely heavy, and carrying such a PC requires considerable effort. Nevertheless, the experiment clearly demonstrates that alternative cooling methods are possible even without liquid circuits and active elements.
The result is an unusual hybrid of antique and modern hardware: a quiet, brutal, and downright hardcore computer that resembles an art object more than a traditional system unit.
