Coolest Custom PC Builds From Computex 2025
Computex 2025 put custom PC builds in the spotlight, with modders transforming hardware into works of art, from a pygmy hippo–inspired case to a bow-and-arrow rig and a fully functional drink dispenser. These ten standout creations demonstrate how imagination and engineering can merge to create functional machines that are as visually striking as they are powerful.
1. Moo Deng by Suchao Prowphong
Modder Suchao Prowphong from Thailand transformed a Thermaltake TR100 Hydrangea Blue mini-tower into a three-dimensional tribute to Moo Deng, the Bangkok Zoo’s beloved pygmy hippo. The front panel’s layered steel and acrylic forms recreate the hippo’s snout, while two welded pink metal discs serve as rosy cheeks. I didn’t catch any details about the internal components, but sometimes a build’s personality matters more than its specs. Its whimsical charm earned it a spot on our list, proving that cuteness can be just as captivating as complexity.
2. Gallardo Custom PC Case by Manli
In a bold partnership with Lamborghini’s Gallardo division, Manli unveiled a build drenched in signature orange, its circular chassis split by a brushed-metal spine that doubles as a GPU mount. The “moon-and-metal” aesthetic isn’t just for show, the rig packs a Manli GeForce RTX 5090 Gallardo edition, an AMD 9800X3D processor, 32 GB of DDR5-8000 memory (2×16 GB), an x870 ITX motherboard, a 2 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD and a 1 000 W SFX-L power supply. Between its eye-catching silhouette and serious hardware, this collaboration hits the sweet spot between automotive flair and desktop performance.
3. Afternoon Tea by TechLinMod
The build’s delicate pastel palette and café-inspired details give it an unmistakably feminine charm. Modder TechLinMod transformed a Hyte Y70 Pink chassis into a miniature tea shop, complete with a porcelain-style teapot “pouring” resin tea into a matching cup atop the case. Inside, an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X on an ASUS ROG Strix X870 motherboard is tamed by a custom Bitspower water-cooling loop. A Palit GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Gaming Pro White OC handles graphics, backed by 64 GB of G.Skill Trident Z5 Royal DDR5-6400 (4×16 GB), a 2 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD and an 850 W Seasonic Focus GX White PSU. The result is a cutesy yet powerful build that blends café-style whimsy with serious performance.
4. RoboBox 07 by Alseye
Of the three showpieces Alseye unveiled, the RoboBox 07 stood out to me most. It blends the sleek minimalism of EVE from WALL·E with the utilitarian grit of the Interstellar robots. The tiny astronaut figurine perched atop its “head” adds a playful flourish. Although no component list was available, the build’s futuristic silhouette and clean lines made it a standout on the Computex floor, proof that compelling aesthetics can captivate even without a spec sheet.
5. Luminarch by AK Mod
AK Mod, in collaboration with Klevv, delivered a standout build with Luminarch, a PC sculpted into the form of a drawn bow and arrow. The curved “bow” chassis was CNC-machined to bear its own weight, while 3D-printed outer panels conceal the support structure and lend the build a sense of graceful suspension. Klevv Urbane V RGB modules double as stylized arrow fletching, and the GPU tucks neatly along the central riser that serves as the “arrow” shaft. Under the hood, it houses an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition, 16 GB of DDR5-6000 RAM, an ROG Strix Z890-I motherboard, Thermaltake Swafan EX ARGB fans, a Bitspower custom water-cooling loop and a 1 000 W ROG Loki SFX-L PSU. Two months of design followed by a month of meticulous assembly resulted in a build that marries medieval inspiration with cutting-edge performance.
6. Egg Shaped Super Hero Robot by Apacer
Apacer’s showstopper took the form of a glossy, egg-shaped chassis complete with tiny arms, legs and two glowing green “eyes,” all mounted on a slender support rod to give the illusion of flight, serious Astro Boy vibes. I didn’t catch any specs, but its impeccable finish and clever presentation made it one of Computex’s most delightfully whimsical custom builds.
7. Japanese Straw House by Toru Sekiguchi
This build’s cultural homage is impossible to miss. Toru Sekiguchi, from Japan, wrapped a Tower 600 Matcha Green mid-tower chassis in a miniature traditional Japanese straw house, complete with a thatched roof, carefully placed white garden stones, delicate faux cherry blossoms and a handful of playful toy cats perched among the eaves. I didn’t catch any internal specs, but the way it marries functional hardware with authentic vernacular architecture makes it a standout: equal parts craftsmanship and cultural storytelling.
8. Black Myth: WuKong’s Bull King Armor Set by Narinsorn Rattanabuppha
As a huge fan of Black Myth: Wukong, I was blown away by Narinsorn Rattanabuppha’s homage to the Bull King Armor set. Built on a Tower 600 mid-tower chassis, the case is sculpted to echo the armor’s ornate plating, topped with the Bull King’s fearsome mask and Wukong’s iconic Jing Gu Bang. A miniature figurine of The Destined One stands guard beside it, adding a perfect narrative touch. Inside, an ASRock Phantom Gaming Z890 motherboard hosts an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K CPU paired with a Palit GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super, TOUGHRAM XG RGB DDR5 memory, and a Seagate FireCuda 520 SSD. Cooling duties fall to Thermaltake’s Swafan EX RGB and a Pacific SWI Plus loop, all powered by a 1 200 W TOUGHPOWER GF A3 PSU. This build merges rich lore with top-tier components, making it as powerful as it is visually striking.
9. Manta Ray by Modding Cafe
Modding Cafe outdid themselves with this breathtaking Robotic Manta Ray PC, its motorized fins gently undulating to mimic a creature gliding through the depths. Every curve and surface detail evokes the manta’s graceful form, turning a high-end rig into kinetic art. Inside, an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K powers tasks on an ASUS ROG Strix Z890-I motherboard, backed by 48 GB of G.Skill Trident Z5 Royal DDR5-7200 (2×24 GB) and an ASUS TUF RTX 5070 Ti. Storage is handled by a Lexar NM800 PRO SSD, cooling comes from Modding Cafe’s bespoke liquid loop, and everything runs off an 850 W FSP Dagger Pro PSU. This build marries arthouse flair with top-tier performance, and those swimming fins are simply mesmerizing.
10. Beverage Dispenser Mod by KM Studios
KM Studio raised the bar by combining your gaming rig with a four-tap drink dispenser: choose beer, Coke, red wine or soju without ever leaving your seat. The same custom Bitspower cooling loop that chills your beverages also keeps the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K running smoothly on an ASUS ROG Strix Z890-E Gaming Wi-Fi motherboard. Memory comes in at a generous 96 GB of G.Skill Trident Z5 Royal DDR5-8000 (4×24 GB), storage and GPU details weren’t listed, and power is handled by a 1000 W FSP Vita GM PSU. It’s a clever fusion of refreshment and performance that ensures both your thirst and your framerate stay quenched.
Computex 2025 proved that the modding scene is alive and well, and these ten builds are just the beginning. Whether you’re after performance, flair or outright novelty, there’s always something new to discover.
