We’ve all seen custom PC builds that push the boundaries of creativity, from sleek minimalist boxes to sprawling open-air test benches. But the latest project to capture the imagination of the tech world is one you might mistake for a kitchen appliance. In a stroke of pure, unadulterated madness, the team at SignalRGB has built a fully-functional, high-end gaming PC inside a real microwave—and they’re giving it away for free.
Dubbed the "Dinner Blaster," this creation is more than just a gag; it's a serious piece of gaming hardware disguised as a household object, proving that when it comes to PC modding, the only limit is one's imagination.
A Kitchen Appliance Transformed into a Gaming Powerhouse
At first glance, it looks like a perfectly normal microwave. But the moment you press the "open" button, the magic begins. The door, which remains fully functional, is the centerpiece of the entire build. It has been ingeniously converted into a pass-through monitor, meaning you can game directly on the microwave door.
The interior, where you'd typically find a rotating plate for your TV dinner, has been completely re-engineered. The turntable is still there, but it's no longer for heating food. Instead, it serves as a rotating motherboard tray, with an MSI MOG Z8901 Edge Ti motherboard perched proudly on top. It’s a surreal sight, watching a high-performance motherboard gently spin where your lasagna should be.
Packed tightly into the microwave's cavity are all the components a modern gamer craves. On one side, an integrated All-in-One (AIO) liquid cooler keeps temperatures in check. Hugging the other side is the star of the show: a next-generation NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti graphics card. Even the microwave's keypad has been repurposed, now serving as a handy Elgato Stream Deck for quick actions and macros.
No Compromises: Serious Specs for Serious Gaming
You might be thinking this is all style and no substance, but you’d be wrong. The "Dinner Blaster" is a legitimate gaming rig that doesn’t skimp on performance. SignalRGB has packed it with top-tier components that would be the envy of any dedicated gaming setup.
Here are the full gaming PC specs heating up this microwave:
- Processor: Intel Core Ultra 5 225 CPU
- Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti
- Memory: 48 GB of Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5 RAM
- Storage: A blazing-fast 2 TB Patriot Viper VP4300 Lite NVMe SSD with read speeds up to 7,400 MB/s
- Power Supply: A compact yet powerful 1,100 W SFX 80+ Platinum PSU
And true to its name, SignalRGB has made sure this build lives up to its reputation. The entire unit, inside and out, is adorned with synchronized RGB lighting, all controllable through the SignalRGB software. It’s a light show you’d never expect to find in a kitchen appliance.

How You Can Win This One-of-a-Kind Gaming Microwave PC
Perhaps the most exciting part of this story is that you don't have to be a master modder to own it. SignalRGB is running a competition to give this unique PC away for free. There’s no catch—the device is a one-off build valued at over $2,000, and it can only be won by entering the contest on the SignalRGB website.
The competition is time-limited, so if you’ve ever dreamed of dominating your favorite game and then reheating a pizza without leaving your desk, now is your chance. You'll have to decide quickly whether this masterpiece belongs beside your regular microwave in the kitchen or as the crown jewel of your dedicated gaming room.
This project is a brilliant reminder of the fun, innovative spirit that drives the PC community. It’s not just about raw frame rates; it’s about personality, art, and building something that truly stands out. The "Dinner Blaster" does all that and more, serving up a delicious blend of high-performance gaming and sheer, unapologetic fun.
