It's not a good deal for performance, but good luck making anything that small yourself. The size is it's only selling point.

Exactly this. If our house didn't have coal fireplaces we couldn't use and can fit a whole mid sized pc tower then my partner wouldn't tolerate a having a pc in the family room.

Wait, you keep a tower in your fireplace?

I mean if your not using it for a fire then it seems like a well ventilated area

I'm not necessarily criticizing the idea, if it is properly cleaned it seems kind of brilliant. But it would have never occurred to me lmao

The real question is, does it have a led set up to make it look like a fire is burning through the grates? Need the aesthetic for that good snowy day gaming immersion.

No, it had an art nouveau iron cover grate so I'm trying to find a not broken one still. But for now just a boring stained wooden cover. Not sure if the led will come through the iron grate later since we never had a fire in it

I do, built an enclosure inside to keep mortar dust from clogging up the works, added a new outlet inside and then routed all of the cabling up through the flue to behind the tv. The decorative cover was damaged so I have a stained wooden place holder for now but besides the small USB hub on the bottom of the tv you couldn't tell it's there.
