„A small frame combined with demanding peripherals that build up a lot of heat forced a creative approach. „Two biggest challenges were size and mobility”, recalls Tips. As an outcome, the Plasma Gun has undergone quite a few changes with each iteration.
Leakages in the AIO installation, custom cables needed to be placed here and there.and also a few finger cuts!” Tips remembers. Building such a unique computer that would not just be displayed but also carried by people at such an event was a challenge. The maiden event for the Plasma Gun PC was last October's Poznan Game Arena, where fans in Poland had their first ever opportunity to play DOOM Eternal before release. „I thought about other crazy things such as an Arachnotron with a computer inside, but a Plasmagun you can pick up, feel its weight and walk around corridors full of demons.I mean, con goers!” he says. Of all the demon-destroying weaponry in the Slayer’s arsenal, why the Plasma Gun? It's Tips' favourite and at coincidentally an ideal platform for one-of-a-kind, wieldable PC mod. „Unfortunately, there are no photos of it left.” Thankfully, we here at the Slayers Club will ensure this Plasma Gun PC doesn’t meet that fate. „It was my first online game and also the first one I made a prop of,” he says. Like other gamers in his generation, DOOM (1993) has a special place in his heart. „Why did I make this build? Because it's DOOM!” says Tips, the project's creator and one of Poland’s primier custom PC crafters – and possibly all of Europe’s.
For added realism, the power button is located next to the trigger and the cable outlet is placed inside the clip of the Plasma Gun.
The back of the weapon features a mini ITX MSI motherboard with Corsair equipment while a single fan, placed exactly where it should be on an accurate Plasma Gun, cools down a i9-9900K CPU. A finned, illuminated barrel brings fresh air to a powerful NVIDIA RTX 2080Ti card from MSI mounted on a custom lenghtened bridge. Tips’ Plasma Gun PC doesn't just look amazing it works exactly as you'd expect. Gearing himself up for DOOM Eternal’s release, Polish modder and crafter Staszek „Tips” Wiertelak built a unique gaming PC that not only runs DOOM Eternal on Ultra Nightmare settings, but can also be wielded as the Slayer’s trusty Plasma Gun for one amazing mods that’s truly inspired by DOOM. Very rarely does a modded PC also function as a quality cosplay prop.
