A Reddit user known as u/DaKrazyKid has unveiled a unique mini-ITX gaming PC build called the "RAM Machine," featuring an astonishing 36 RAM sticks. The build was inspired by the Steam Machine, which originally shipped with just 16GB of RAM. The custom PC includes 16 RGB RAM sticks controlled via SignalRGB, and the builder is giving it away to one lucky commenter on 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 employees, affiliates, and subsidiaries of SignalRGB, along with their immediate family members and household members, from entering the sweepstakes.
Specifications of the RAM Machine
While not a top-tier system, 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 power supply
The build is well-suited for 1080p gaming and can handle some 1440p titles, though it may not deliver native 4K gaming performance.
According to a PCPartPicker estimate, a similarly specced system would cost over $1,500—making it roughly 50% more expensive than the Steam Machine and a highly valuable giveaway prize.
How to Enter the Giveaway
To enter, simply visit the Reddit post on r/PcBuild and leave a comment. However, don't get your hopes up too high—at the time of writing, the post already has more than 78,000 comments.
SignalRGB's History of Unusual PC Giveaways
This isn't the first time SignalRGB has sponsored a giveaway featuring an unconventional PC design. In 2023, the company turned a microwave into an all-in-one PC and gave it away. Earlier that same year, it raffled off 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 allows users to manage RGB lights from any brand. A Pro subscription is also available for $5.99 per month or $45 per year, offering advanced features such as cooling control, system monitoring, macros, and more.
