SignalRGB turns a working microwave into a full gaming PC giveaway
The team behind SignalRGB, an app that unifies RGB control for third-party PC hardware, has found a new way to show off its software. They built a complete gaming PC inside a real microwave, then wired every light and screen to run through SignalRGB.
The build uses the microwave shell as the chassis. There is a fully functioning monitor mounted in the door, a custom LCD where the original microwave display sat in the top right corner, and an Elgato Stream Deck installed where the numeric keypad used to be. The interior is filled with RGB strips and device lighting, all synchronized through the SignalRGB app. Even the classic rotating glass plate is used as a mounting platform, so the visible hardware appears to spin when the system “heats up”.

Behind the scenes, this is not a low-end system. SignalRGB lists the following specs for the “microwave PC”:
- Intel Core Ultra 5 225 processor
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB graphics card
- MSI MPG Z890I EDGE TI motherboard
- 48 GB Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 M DDR5-6000 memory
- Patriot Viper VP4300 Lite 2 TB NVMe SSD (up to 7,400 MB/s)
- 1100 W SFX 80 PLUS Platinum power supply

Everything, including the custom LCD, is controlled through the free SignalRGB software, which supports a wide range of gaming peripherals and components regardless of brand. The PC is not on general sale; instead, SignalRGB is giving it away through a raffle, turning the microwave mod into both a showcase build and a one-off prize for fans of RGB-heavy setups.
