Galax has released images on Expreview for an after-market Nvidia GeForce RTX-3090 graphics card that will fit in perfectly with a LEGO computer case. It is called the RTX 3090 GAMER. It is unknown at this time where or when it will be available and for what price, but at present it is described as a “non-public” card.
Building a computer is a lot like building LEGO, in that all the pieces must fit together precisely and securely, so the combination is a natural one. The images featured on the Chinese website show a card hat appears to have all the parts needed to fit the card securely inside a LEGO build. The catch is that LEGO-compatible computer parts will very likely be expensive, and there is the distinct possibility the GAMER GeForce RTX-3090 will be limited regionally to Asia.
This opens the door to computer builds that are not a classic laptop or square computer case. It’s already known that the RTX-3090 barely fits in a standard PC case, so having unlimited building options gives the lucky gamers who get their hands on this design all the wiggle room they’ll ever need. The largest single base plate in production is 48×48 studs, meaning a case could be made about 38.4 cm squared (15.1 square inches), while the RTX-3090 is just over 31cm (12.2 inches) long, so builders should have no problem getting the beast of a card to fit on a single base horizontally.
The colorful card has a see-through faceplate complete with what appears to be LEGO studs and a full ARGB controller with a standard four-pin interface. Since the back-plate features red and blue accents on the sides, one obvious build might be a large-scale recreation of the Nintendo Switch. Other ideas include a Fall Guy‘s themed LEGO build, or even a twisting wind tunnel designed to optimize airflow to and from all the components.
It is unlikely that the GAMER RTX-3090 card will appear in Western markets, but that won’t stop motivated gamers from coming up with their own PC hardware adaptations. LEGO PC builds are nothing new, and creative builders can easily find their own workarounds if they are really determined to make one work. After all, if it is possible to make a Mario LEGO controller work.
The graphics card does not appear to be an officially branded LEGO product, so there is no guarantee the studs will be a perfect fit.
