Stuffing A Computer Inside A Microwave Is A Terrible Idea But Also Makes A Cool Mod | Biden News

We’ve come a long way to punch a hole in the side panel of our cases when it comes to case mods. We’ve seen added windows, improved airflow, worse airflow, and even unique items used as cases. Some mods can be as simple as sleeper builds where you have a powerful computer in an old case. Others are more complex, like using kitchen appliances like a refrigerator or, in this case, a microwave.

Some fashions are born from ingenuity, others are born from necessity. However, we love to see the combination of the two meetings and the microwave computer build is just that.

Apparently, during the pandemic a man in Brazil lost his job and decided instead of spending money on a new computer case, he would just build in his microwave. Or at least, that’s what the Tweet thread by Jake Lucky explains. After losing his job, this man’s girlfriend of nine years helped him financially to build the computer, but he decided that instead of spending money on a case, he would use his electrical knowledge to make the microwave his case.

Obviously putting metal in a running microwave is bad, so we don’t recommend putting your computer in a microwave and turning it on. However, there are certain facts about how a microwave is built that actually make building inside one seem almost sensible. First of all, they are usually already pretty well grounded, are shielded, which can prevent further electrical interference, and are insulated—often with some form of ventilation already built in. They are small computers after all. So our intrepid inventor decided that “turning on the microwave” would also start his computer. Additionally, the door makes it relatively easy to access the hardware if maintenance is necessary.

Although it is difficult to say exactly what parts are in the device of photos and video Twitter, Jake Lucky claims that the total cost of the construction was about $ 900. Now we wonder what this guy would build if he won the lottery.
