Ron Lee Christianson, based in Vancouver, Washington, turned a lot of heads at PAX-East Boston with his latest creation, a stunning custom-built PC inspired by The Last of Us. Just a few months later, Blizzard Entertainment tapped Christianson to unleash his creative genius on a Diablo 4-themed PC. The results? You'd have to see to believe it.
Released to much praise and adoration on June 6, Diablo 4 has quickly overwhelmed the internet with its legions of fans grinding their way through endless waves of mobs day in and day out. Despite the microtransaction controversy and the issue with its always-online requirement, Diablo 4 continues to get even more popular after posting the best-selling launch period for the company. Much of the credit for this goes to Blizzard, whose relentless attempts at improving Diablo 4 and marketing it to the masses have not gone unnoticed.
Its latest effort, revealed just days after the first Diablo 4 Campfire Chat where Blizzard revealed its big plans for the game, will be the envy of gamers worldwide.

Christianson's "monstrous" custom-built Diablo 4 PC features what's presumed to be a 3D-printed bust of the overarching villain, Lilith, the Queen of the Succubi, and the daughter of the Lord of Hatred, Mephisto.
The bust, which sits atop an aptly-designed tome (we're not quite sure what it is but looks awfully sinister), likely houses the power supply for this beast of a unit.
Blizzard didn't reveal more about the exact specifications of the Diablo 4 PC but it did reveal that it's powered by a "DLSS 3 enabled RTX 4080", which is currently the second-most powerful and expensive enthusiast-grade graphics card made by Nvidia at the moment with a sticker price of $1,200.
Specifically, this RTX 4080 model is from PNY's line of gaming-oriented products, XLR8.
Blizzard promises to reveal more about the Diablo 4 PC tomorrow, presumably on June 21 (or June 20).
The custom-themed Diablo 4 PC has naturally gone viral. Unfortunately, it's most likely going to be a one-off build by the Blue Horse Studios team.
Blue Horse Studios has become one of the go-to partners of some of the biggest video game developers on the market with a proven track record for building one-of-a-kind custom PCs inspired by Elden Ring, Apex Legends, and Modern Warfare 2, among others.
Diablo 4 continues to captivate audiences, thanks mostly to the combined efforts of its marketing and development team. At the moment, the development team has their hands full dealing with the game's issues now that the Honeymoon effect is starting to wear off. To their credit, they're trying to stay ahead of the curve, promising to fix the Disconnect Death issue plaguing Hardcore Mode players and making sure that Diablo 4 doesn't fall into the Destiny Loot Cave trap. Unfortunately, Whoopi Goldberg's concerns about Diablo 4's lack of MacOs support remain unnoticed.
Don't expect to see the hype for Diablo 4 die down anytime soon, especially with the game's first season launching in July. Between the still-ongoing Hardcore Mode race, the never-ending search for the supposedly-non-existent Secret Cow Level, and two more expansions coming out on top of the seasonal content, it's safe to say that Diablo 4 players will keep on grinding until hell freezes over.
Whoever wins it is lucky, I doubt it will be me. lol
DAMN! That rates at 35,237!! This must be a powerful build.
