In a fascinating display of innovation, a modded RTX 5070 graphics card has been revealed to house a fully functional mini PC within its sleek design. The unique project, undertaken by boutique desktop builder CherryTree, showcases the marriage of GPU and PC components in a compact and surprising package.
Gamers Nexus, known for their in-depth tech investigations, recently delved into this unconventional creation. CherryTree hollowed out a Gigabyte RTX 5070 card and integrated Asus mini PC parts, including a Core i7-1360P processor, 64GB of RAM, and 2TB of storage in the M.2 slot. Despite its diminutive size, this “graphics card PC” boasts working fans, RGB lights, and all the necessary ports for connectivity.
While this custom creation is not intended for commercial sale, it highlights the potential for merging different hardware components into a single, cohesive unit. The ability to install this mini PC inside a standard desktop PC opens up intriguing possibilities for space-saving configurations and enhanced computing power.
One particularly amusing touch is the GPU-style retail box designed for the project, humorously named the “GEEFARCE 5027 POS” with playful suffixes like “UC” and “OR” for “underclocked and overrated.” This lighthearted approach underscores the creativity and passion of the builders behind this unconventional endeavor.
For a detailed look at this innovative graphics card concealing a mini PC, enthusiasts can watch the Gamers Nexus video for a comprehensive benchmark and analysis of its performance.
