When it comes to decorating your high-spec gaming PC, there's an abundance of options out there. From simple RGB case fans and CPU coolers to elaborate UV-powered liquid, being a bit extra about your next build has never been easier. Yet, against all odds, a bizarre lighting alternative has emerged that makes even the most ambitious builds look conventional, and involves natural bioluminescent chemistry.
Assembled by Linus Tech Tips, with a little help from Nyoka Design Labs, the rig is dubbed the world's first bioluminescent gaming PC. While the coolant within this striking setup looks like glow stick fluid, it's actually a concoction of concentrated E. Coli. However, it's worth noting that the bacteria in question isn't pathogenic and has been engineered specifically with safety in mind.
Linus' video delves into the science behind giving the PCs juice its natural glow, but the process essentially involves feeding the E. Coli two compounds; luciferin and luciferase. Allowing the microbes to munch down on the enzymes creates a chemical reaction that causes them to glow. The result? Well, if this PC were an anglerfish, we'd be dinner by now.
