This time, I have a special build dedicated to a friend of mine who has recently entered the PC gaming space. Some may recall my first personal build, “Purple Heart,” which featured intricate custom water cooling loops, black and nickel accents, and a signature purple glow. While Purple Heart was about the beauty of the machine’s mechanics, “Event Horizon” is about the beauty of the void.
The name “Event Horizon”, represents the point of no return, I.E. the void of a black hole where light and matter converge. I wanted this build to have a sophisticated look, evolving from the purple aesthetic into something more futuristic.
The Accretion Disk represents deep violet and white lighting effects that mimic the glow of matter swirling around the void. Infinite Depth utilises the Jonesboro Za/Zb Infinity Mirror Fans to create the illusion of endless space time. The Seamless Void is built around the Jonsbo Plus BO400CG Case, featuring a curved glass design that removes the edges of reality, making the flagship components featured from with this case look as though they are suspended in a vacuum.
To welcome a friend to the space, we chose a “singularity” of performance and hardware so powerful that it bends the curve.
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition
• Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B850M-Plus WiFi 7
• Memory: Asgard 32GB DDR5 6000MHz CL28
• Storage: Samsung 990 Pro 1TB / WD Black SN8100 4TB
• Cooler: NZXT Kraken Elite 360 AIO
• Power: ASUS ROG Loki 1200W SFX-L Titanium
• Cables: Lian Li Strimer V2 (24-pin & CPU) / CableMod ModMesh 12V
This build represents a bridge between two era’s. It carries the “TUF” industrial DNA and purple soul of my first build but pushes it into a new dimension of clean, enthusiastic grade power. Welcome to the Event Horizon. Also Features a Cat!
