Rocket Desktop
Yes, as the title said. AMD take war with Intel to a whole new level with Rocket-launching desktop PC. The custom PC was built by Benjamin J. Heckendorn or as known as Ben Heck, the famous modder that not only modding but also the one bought us Xbox 360 laptop, and portable version of alot old-school game console.

The famous modder bring us a war-zone ready PC, the system is running Windows 7 and features an AMD A10-5700 APU on a MSI mini-ITX motherboard. There's only a single 128GB SSD inside as well as a small power supply. The MSI mini-ITX motherboard leave tons of room for the two rocket silos.

All of the switches have a solid, almost industrial, feel to them. The launch electronics all worked flawlessly with no bugs...thankfully. A 10-second countdown sequence begins, with the silo hatches opening at six seconds (and five seconds, if you launch both rockets at the same time). You probably thinking, you can't launch rocket indoors. That might cause you few burns in your house. And not everyone is walking around with desktop, and surely not a desktop with 2 rocket silos. But what important is that Ben Heck has built a PC that launches frickin’ rockets. But hey, why not?
