While interest in desktop PCs has waned in recent years, those who are still interested in desktops often build them themselves. That gives the ability to not only have the PC you want, but also to use it as an art piece. There are PC builders who go all out and customize their cases, turning them into spaceships or even scenes from videogames. However, that is not in the cards for everyone. One thing that can help customize and PC build, however, is RGB LEDs.

For most, some slight customizations here and there are the way to go. However, when Avram and his team get involved, they go all out. Instead of just picking the best of the best components, the team decided to build a PC with as much lighting as they could possibly fit into a Mini ITX case. They call this build the RGBaby.

This build is based around the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, which obviously does not have lighting on it, but that's pretty much where it ends. Event the processor cooler, the Corsair H100i features lighting on the processor and two lighted fans on the top. The video card is a ZOTAC RTX 2080 AMP Extreme, which features LED strips across the front. The system RAM is HyperX Fury RGB adding a companion stripe to the lights on the video card. All of this is mounted to an ASUS ROG Strix B450-I motherboard, which features RGB LEDs across the edge.

The RGBaby is a companion to the previous build, the RGBeast. This build, which took place at the beginning of 2019, was similar, but larger. Because of the bigger case, they were able to accommodate a lot more components that needed to be skipped this time because of the smaller form factor.
