Vicarious: performed or suffered by one thing for the advantage of another.
This is my Vicarious Vaio gaming rig. It decimates the other team for my benefit.

This used to be a Sony VAIO PCV-RS series desktop PC. Back in 2003 when i bought it…...
Since then the only original component left is the case and the CD drive.

The first thing I did to this was paint it navy, put in a window, and throw more RAM and a new GPU in it for gaming.

It has been all downhill for it from there…

Over time ALL the hardware has been upgraded or replaced. Not to mention the UV liquid cooling with dual radiators.

Don’t forget this is a MiniATX case so wiring and fitting the cooling system was incredibly difficult.
The downside is that no MiniATX PSU was powerful enough for the job.

My favorite part is the integrated power button (just press the mesh)
