This crazy PC gaming cave took 8 years to build

Think you’ve got the ultimate gaming rig? Stop right there, friend, and feast your eyes on this glorious creation.

A Danish gamer named Mikkel Olsen has built an incredible “PC gaming cave” that has been eight years in the making.

The LED-aglow room is crammed full of enough high-end equipment to make even the most steadfast console gamers swoon.

There are three gaming PCs permanently fixed in the cave; the main PC to the left, a guest PC on the right, and a live-streaming/recording PC in the middle.

Olsen tells TrustedReviews that he’s spent around £20,800 on the project so far, adding: “All my friends and my brother are big gamers, and have their own rigs. We meet maybe every other weekend [in the cave] and play games and get drunk.”

“It has taken me about eight years (started back in 2007) to get my setup to look like it does now,” explains Wipspeed. “I never buy everything at once, I buy upgrades over time. That way it is also more fun to upgrade over the years and the years to come.”

Even the cave’s bunk-bed, which cost 200 euros in materials, is a custom build. It has a sleep-mode, where the bed is down:
