Some people like to build their own gaming PC. Chinese video games enthusiast Brother NV is one of them.
The difference with his rig is that it's massive, with four wheels and an internal combustion engine.

The famous hardware enthusiast, whose real name is Dong Kuo and is a marketing manager at ecommerce services provider JD.com, converted an Audi S7 into a video gaming rig outfitted with an insane amount of water cooling. While the project appears to be a publicity stunt, the result could be a first in gaming history.

The entire setup reportedly cost about US$180,000, which included an Intel Core i9-7900x chip, an Asus ROG R6E RGB Monoblock, plenty of cooling tubes, an Asus ROG Swift monitor and, of course, an Audi S7.
So why on earth would anyone spend that much money and time to build such a beast?
“The car has got a 2,000-watt uninterruptible power supply. Once I hook it up with a monitor, we can drive up to the mountain peak to play PUBG and watch movies,” wrote Brother NV.
PUBG, the battle royale pioneer    
Check out how the unusual gaming hardware project was put together in the gallery above.

Brother NV decided to go with the G.Skill 128GB DDR4 3200 memory module. (Picture: Brother NV)

I have to say the metallic look, coupled with the water-cooling tubes, actually makes it looks like a car engine. (Picture: Brother NV)

Brother NV says he tested the setup multiple times before putting it in the car. I mean, it’s not a cheap car after all! (Picture: Brother NV)

It also comes with plenty of water cooling parts. (Picture: Brother NV)

These are some the PC components that would be installed inside the trunk. (Picture: Brother NV)

The car was white before they sprayed it in silver paint. (Picture: Brother NV)

The gaming setup took up almost the entire trunk of the car. (Photo: Brother NV)
