A closer look

Van der Velden, who works at a national IT services provider, spent three weeks crafting his "Star Wars" machine. The AT-AT contains a Zotac Z68-ITX (Mini-ITX) motherboard running an Intel Core i7 2600k processor, SSD, and built-in Wi-Fi. The water-cooling system (radiator and XSPC pump) uses water blocks to cool the CPU, GPU, and other components.

"I really enjoyed working on this build, as it combines two of my favorite things: sci-fi and liquid-cooled computers," Van der Velden told Crave.
