You've heard of putting your graphics card in the oven, but have you heard of putting your entire gaming PC inside an air fryer

1 day ago 3

I was a little late to the air fryer hype. For years, every which way I turned, friends and family implored me to get an air fryer, you won't regret it. Well, now I have one, and it's great, but I probably did miss the boat a little because already the industry seems to have moved on from food to air frying gaming PCs. Oh wait, never mind, that's just SignalRGB getting up to its usual absurdist antics.

We've covered some of SignalRGB's wacky stuff before, such as its microwave gaming PC with a working screen on the front that you can game on. Safe to say, this one is also not an actual component fryer, it's just a very peculiar duo-PC chassis. You know, as if a duo-PC chassis wasn't weird enough.

Highlighted by DaKrazyKid on Reddit, who seems to work for SignalRGB or at least run some company promo, the "two fully independent gaming PCs built inside a single air fryer oven" features an RTX 5060, a Core Ultra 5 processor (presumably an Intel Core Ultra 5 245K or, if we're lucky, a 250KF Plus), a 1 TB SSD, and 16 GB of RAM. (I guess even air fryer PCs are feeling the pinch of the RAMpocalypse.)

It has a visual display on each of the front doors, which swing open and are connected to the PC by a wriggly cable (a technical term). The two PCs are racked on top of each other, and the ports can be accessed on the back of the air fryer.

The only real risk I can see to this setup is explaining it to a prospective partner you bring over on a date. Possibly a red flag to some—"don't worry about that, it's just my two gaming PCs inside an air fryer." Though the video does say "it'd be a crime not to have this PC." I'm not sure telling them that would convince them.

Still, you can be in with a chance of winning one (two?) by taking part in SignalRGB's giveaway.

It would be quite the flex to own one of these duo-PC setups during a memory shortage and other price-screwing supply issues. If you do, maybe don't show it off to your friend who is now having to settle with a single PC with 16 GB of RAM in a bog-standard case thanks to inflated prices. I'm not sure they'll share quite the same enthusiasm for your new duo PC setup. In which case, perhaps keep it as the peculiar sleeper build it is and don't draw too much attention.
