Lian Li 8.8-inch Universal Screen

High-octane hardware for elite athletes Building a high-performance PC for world-class talent like Alphonso Davies and Disguised Toast requires more than just off-the-shelf parts; it demands a fusion of raw power and bespoke aesthetics. This guide explores the process of constructing two distinct, Red Bull sponsored machines designed to handle everything from competitive FIFA sessions to high-stakes streaming. We move beyond basic assembly into the territory of dioramas and custom animation to create hardware that reflects the personality of its users. Tools and Materials Needed To replicate these builds, you will need a combination of flagship silicon and hobbyist craft supplies: * **Core Silicon:** AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU and ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 GPU. * **Infrastructure:** ASUS ROG Strix X870-A motherboard and Seasonic Vertex GX 1200W PSU. * **Cooling & Display:** TRYX Stage ARGB 360mm AIO and Lian Li 8.8-inch Universal Screen. * **Aesthetics:** Artificial grass mats, miniature figurines, dollhouse-scale Red Bull cans, and hot glue. Step-by-Step Construction Process 1. **Foundation and Power:** Install the Ryzen 7 9800X3D into the motherboard. We chose this chip because its 3D V-Cache makes it the definitive gaming king for current titles. Secure the Seasonic PSU, ensuring you use the native PCIe 5.1 cables to feed the power-hungry RTX 5090. 2. **Thermal Management:** Mount the TRYX AIO. The dual IPS screens on the pump block serve as the primary visual hub for custom looping animations. 3. **Diorama Integration:** Before installing the GPU, lay down the artificial grass or themed flooring. In the Davies build, we covered the bottom intake fans to create a soccer pitch, relying on the side and rear fans to maintain airflow. 4. **The Art Phase:** Hot glue miniature spectators onto the flat surfaces of the RTX 5090. For the Disguised Toast build, we scattered Among Us figurines throughout a butter-caramel Thermaltake View 600TG case. 5. **Software Synchronization:** Load custom 5-minute looping animations onto the internal Lian Li screens to ensure no visible seams during operation. Troubleshooting Airflow and Longevity Heavy decoration can impede cooling. We monitored the RTX 5090 closely, as covering intakes with grass mats risks thermal throttling. To mitigate this, use high-static pressure fans like the Phanteks D30 to force air through restricted gaps. For long-term reliability, the 12-year warranty on the Seasonic unit provides peace of mind, even if the hardware is pushed to its limits. Expected Outcome The result is a "sensory overload" machine. These PCs deliver top-tier framerates—averaging over 240 FPS in Among Us—while serving as a unique physical trophy. By treating the PC case as a gallery rather than a box, the hardware becomes a genuine reflection of the user's brand.
