By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A Reddit user shared their unconventional PC build, nicknamed "Frankenbox," which features three GPUs (9070xt, 1080 TI, and 5700xt) installed in a case designed for only one. The setup utilizes a 1400W power supply and an external GPU connected via Oculink through an M.2 slot. Despite the elaborate hardware configuration, the user admits they do not actively use local AI applications. AI
