At CES 2024, MSI unveiled its no-cables desktop (or, at least, its no-visible-cables desktop!) with a special motherboard and PC case series dubbed “Project Zero.” We built it up—and created ...

Building a PC is a deeply personal journey for everyone, and I've spent days going back and forth on component selection.

This custom PC build is based on the ISAC computer from The Division, and features modified waterblocks and a louvered radiator panel.
