Tom flew over 7,000 miles from Brazil to Canada, teamed up with Linus and ASUS ROG to turn “jank into gold” by building a custom SFX gaming PC, and nearly got deported in the process. Along the way they unpack a full ROG parts list—from the Strix B850-I motherboard and Prime RTX 5070 GPU to the Loki SFX-L PSU and Falchion Ace keyboard—assemble the rig, and put it through its paces with 360 Hz benchmarks and games like Cyberpunk 2077.
