Thoughts on the build?

Out of spite of the copy paste white/black with tempered glass cases; Behold, microwave. Built this as a second rig for guests or just messing around. Currently running a Ryzen 7 3800xt and a GTX 1660, but when i get a chance im going to be putting a 6950xt in there for fun. Also, the dial turns on the pc, its awesome.

So a while ago, i also built one inside of an old cooler, which wasnt nearly as big of a deal but it inspired to go the other way from something that makes things cool to makes things hot, so microwave. Went and grabbed a cheap older one from a thrift store, got some measurements to see what parts i could fit, and got to work.

I had an old cpu and some fans lying around from a recent upgrade, snagged a cheap am4 micro atx, and it really just took a drill, a Dremel with a cutting blade, screws, nuts, and a thick plastic straw. Psu happened to fit perfectly where the old transformer was, and there was just enough room behind the motherboard and above the cooler for a 140mm fan. For the motherboard itself, i drilled holes for the mounting points and used cut pieces of a plastic straw to hold it up from the metal bottom of the microwave so it didn’t short out. It was alot simpler than i thought it was going to be, but it was still a decent challenge.

Heres some extra pics plus a bonus for the cooler, that old beauty.
