Nvidia’s Jacob Freeman was able to catch a glimpse of the stunning custom build, which is not only based on UFO catcher claw machines you’d find at a retro arcade but it can be played too.
As seen in the short clip, the custom PC has controls of a real-life claw machine, that moves the claw inside the rig. The custom PC appears to be built with a Thermaltake case, which is already similar in design to a real-life UFO catcher machine.
While it isn’t packed with cute plushies you’d expect of a real UFO catcher, the custom PC appears to allow Computex attendees to try their best at grabbing a free lanyard. Luckily, the claw mechanism seems to be smart enough to avoid bashing up against the high-powered parts of the rig.
