A Reddit user known as u/DaKrazyKid has built a mini-ITX gaming PC called the 'RAM Machine,' featuring 36 RAM sticks (16 of which are RGB) on the exterior and 32GB of Patriot DDR5-8200 RAM inside. The PC is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 5 CPU, an RTX 5060 GPU, a 2TB Patriot SSD, and a 750-watt PSU, making it suitable for 1080p and some 1440p gaming. The build is being given away via a Reddit sweepstakes in the r/PcBuild subreddit, likely hosted by SignalRGB, as indicated by the disclaimer excluding employees and affiliates. To enter, users simply leave a comment on the post, which already has over 78,000 entries. The PC is valued at over $1,500, significantly more than the Steam Machine that inspired it. SignalRGB has a history of unusual PC giveaways, including a microwave PC and a Starfield-themed case.

A Reddit user known as u/DaKrazyKid has showcased a unique mini-ITX gaming PC build called the "RAM Machine," featuring an eye-popping 36 RAM sticks. The build was inspired by the Steam Machine, which the original poster (OP) described as having a "paltry 16GB of RAM."
The system includes 16 RGB RAM sticks controlled via SignalRGB, delivering a vibrant lighting display. The OP is giving the PC away to one lucky commenter in the r/PcBuild subreddit.
It remains unclear whether the Redditor is affiliated with SignalRGB. However, the giveaway appears to be run by the company, as the official disclaimer excludes SignalRGB employees, affiliates, subsidiaries, their immediate family members, and anyone living in the same household from entering.
Specifications
While not a top-tier powerhouse, the RAM Machine offers solid performance and significantly better specs than the original Steam Machine:
- CPU: Intel Core Ultra 5
- GPU: Single-fan RTX 5060
- RAM: 32GB Patriot DDR5-8200
- Storage: 2TB Patriot SSD
- Motherboard: B860-I
- PSU: 750-watt
This configuration is more than capable for 1080p gaming and can handle some 1440p titles, though it may not deliver native 4K gaming.
According to a PCPartPicker estimate, a similarly specced system costs over $1,500 — making it roughly 50% more expensive than the Steam Machine and a highly valuable giveaway prize.
SignalRGB's History of Unusual PC Giveaways
This isn't the first time SignalRGB has offered a wild-looking PC as a prize. Previous giveaways include:
- 2024: A microwave converted into an all-in-one PC
- 2023: A powerful gaming PC built inside a Starfield control panel case
All three systems share one common feature: they use SignalRGB to control their RGB lighting. SignalRGB is a free app that manages RGB lights from any brand, with a Pro subscription available for $5.99/month or $45/year, offering advanced features like cooling control, system monitoring, macros, and more.
