Fallout Fan Turns Limited Edition Mini Nuke Into A PC

A fan of the popular Bethesda RPG series Fallout has turned his Anthology Collector’s Edition nuke into a PC.

As reported by PC Gamer, the fan in question is called “The Fallout Collector”. When the Fallout Anthology Collector’s Edition released in 2015, it came with an awesome fake plastic nuke bomb.

The bomb is used to store a collection of the best games from the Fallout series. It also makes an explosion sound effect when a button is pressed. I have this edition, and its an fun item to put on display.

However, this fan has quite possibly made an even better use of the bomb by turning it into a PC. In 2015, Linus Tech Tips had also turned the Fallout nuke into a PC, but that conversation used more top of the line specifications.

PC of explosive proportions!

The Fallout Collector has opted for a different approach by using smaller, less powerful components than Linus Tech Tips.

As detailed by PC Gamer,The Fallout Collector” used a “small form factor PC by Intel” with a more compact motherboard. The nuke was also fitted with a power supply set at the bottom of the nuke as well as holes at the side for IO ports.

To stop the Fallout nuke from overheating, Fallout Collector fitted a single case fan in the nose of the motherboard with drilled holes for additional airflow.

Furthermore, the BIOS was modified to display a RobCo Industries image when the PC would startup. Additionally, the button that was used as a bomb sound effect has now been turned into the PC’s start-up button.
