Custom PCs aren’t often the most efficient or the most cost-effective, but they sure do look neat, and this gachapon-inspired build on the Computex show floor is no different. It has a big pink and white floating heart spinning on the top, and that’s not even the silliest (positive) thing about it.

For the unaware, gachapons are a form of vending machine that has historically been very popular in Japan, where you pay cash for a chance of getting one of many minifigures or collectables. Without it, the gacha game genre wouldn’t exist (or at least it would have a different name).

As shown off by TechLin, we actually saw a version of this PC four months ago over on its YouTube channel, but the updated Computex version has some fun flair to celebrate the yearly tech event.

Built on top of a Thermaltake Tower 600, which already sort of looks like a vending machine thanks to its curved glass panel, it’s stuffed with an RTX 5060, Ryzen 5 9600X, and custom water cooling.

TechLin 3D printed a replacement front panel, plus a whole lot of detailing, like a spinning dial to replicate the crank in a gacha machine, plus a price tag icon and a handful of gacha capsules along the side.

The Computex model takes all the best bits of the build from a few months ago, but replaces the Care Bears in the capsules on the side of the PC with tiny sticks of RAM. They’re very cute, thematically coloured, and presumably much, much cheaper than that memory would actually cost.

It even has a CPU cooler that plays a custom gacha animation directly in the centre of the PC. This isn’t the only custom PC we’ve seen this Computex, but it is perhaps my favourite. darkFlash’s Floatron caught my eye the other day with its custom evil scientist-like build, and we even got a look at one based on the Taipei 101 skyscraper, complete with rock climber Alex Honnold scaling the side of it.

As for custom-styled cases you can actually buy, the Venom-like ferrofluid case and the Corsair military-themed Warthog this year, and I’d quite like to take both home.
